## What it is
A GitHub Action that generates an SVG diagram visualizing the file structure of a repository, with customizable colors, exclusions, and depth. It can commit the diagram back to the repo or output it as an artifact.

## Use cases
- visualize repository file structure as a diagram
- generate an SVG map of a codebase
- automatically update a repo diagram on push
- exclude build folders from a repo visualization
- color-code files by extension in a repo diagram

## When to choose
- you want an automatic, always-up-to-date visual map of your repo committed via GitHub Actions
- you need a lightweight SVG overview of project structure for documentation

## When to avoid
- you need interactive or dependency-graph analysis rather than a static file-tree diagram
- you're not using GitHub Actions or GitHub-hosted repositories
- you need a production-supported tool - this is explicitly an experiment

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: experimental
- function: data-visualization, developer-tools, ci-cd, documentation
- domain: developer-tools, data-visualization, version-control, documentation
- platform: cli
- tags: github-action, svg-diagram, repo-visualization, code-visualization, web-server
