## Context Diagram Template
According to the [C4 model](https://c4model.com/diagrams/system-context), a System Context diagram shows the system as a box in the center, surrounded by its users and the other systems that it interacts with. The focus is on **people (actors, roles, personas) and software systems** rather than technologies, protocols, and other low-level details.
Use proper Mermaid C4 syntax:
```mermaid
C4Context
title System Context Diagram
Person(user, "User", "Uses the system to accomplish their goals")
System(system, "System Name", "Provides features X, Y, and Z")
System_Ext(external1, "External System 1", "Provides service A")
System_Ext(external2, "External System 2", "Provides service B")
SystemDb(externalDb, "External Database", "Stores data")
Rel(user, system, "Uses")
Rel(system, external1, "Uses", "API")
Rel(system, external2, "Sends events to")
Rel(system, externalDb, "Reads from and writes to")

When creating context documentation, provide:
development
Apple Human Interface Guidelines for content display components. Use this skill when the user asks about charts component, collection view, image view, web view, color well, image well, activity view, lockup, data visualization, content display, displaying images, rendering web content, color pickers, or presenting collections of items in Apple apps. Also use when the user says how should I display charts, what's the best way to show images, should I use a web view, how do I build a grid of items, what component shows media, or how do I present a share sheet. Cross-references: hig-foundations for color/typography/accessibility, hig-patterns for data visualization patterns, hig-components-layout for structural containers, hig-platforms for platform-specific component behavior.

GraphQL gives clients exactly the data they need - no more, no less. One endpoint, typed schema, introspection. But the flexibility that makes it powerful also makes it dangerous. Without proper controls, clients can craft queries that bring down your server. This skill covers schema design, resolvers, DataLoader for N+1 prevention, federation for microservices, and client integration with Apollo/urql. Key insight: GraphQL is a contract. The schema is the API documentation. Design it carefully.
