SVG Pattern for Data Flow

<svg viewBox="0 0 800 400">
  <!-- Data sources (left, blue) -->
  <rect x="50" y="150" width="120" height="80" fill="#4299e1"/>

  <!-- Processing (center, orange) -->
  <rect x="340" y="150" width="120" height="80" fill="#ed8936"/>

  <!-- Outputs (right, green) -->
  <rect x="630" y="150" width="120" height="80" fill="#48bb78"/>

  <!-- Arrows connecting -->
  <path d="M170,190 L340,190" stroke="#666" stroke-width="2" marker-end="url(#arrow)"/>
</svg>

Workflow

Analyze project (README, code structure)
Extract: purpose, data sources, processing, tech stack, outputs
Create HTML with all 6 sections
Use semantic colors for visual hierarchy
Write to [project]-architecture.html

Keep diagrams clear, use consistent styling, include real project details.
