Hi AutoGen team 👋

I'd like to contribute an architecture diagram for AutoGen using FlowZap — a diagrams-as-code tool that generates three synchronized views (Workflow, Sequence, Architecture) from a single .fz file.

Given AutoGen's strong MCP support (McpWorkbench, StdioServerParams), it felt especially relevant: FlowZap has its own MCP server (npx -y flowzap-mcp) that lets AI agents generate and update diagrams automatically.

AutoGen's orchestrator-worker coordination pattern maps cleanly to FlowZap's AI-Native Orchestrator-Worker template:

User { # User
n1: circle label:"Start"
n2: rectangle label:"Submit complex task"
n1.handle(right) -> n2.handle(left)
n2.handle(bottom) -> Orchestrator.n3.handle(top) [label="Task"]
}
Orchestrator { # Orchestrator Agent
n3: rectangle label:"Receive task"
n4: rectangle label:"Break into subtasks"
n5: rectangle label:"Dispatch subtasks"
n6: rectangle label:"Collect results"
n7: rectangle label:"Synthesize final answer"
n8: circle label:"Done"
n3.handle(right) -> n4.handle(left)
n4.handle(right) -> n5.handle(left)
n5.handle(bottom) -> Research.n9.handle(top) [label="Research subtask"]
n5.handle(bottom) -> Code.n11.handle(top) [label="Code subtask"]
n5.handle(bottom) -> Review.n13.handle(top) [label="Review subtask"]
n6.handle(right) -> n7.handle(left)
n7.handle(right) -> n8.handle(left)
n7.handle(top) -> User.n2.handle(bottom) [label="Response"]
}
Research { # Research Agent
n9: rectangle label:"Search sources"
n10: rectangle label:"Summarize findings"
n9.handle(right) -> n10.handle(left)
n10.handle(top) -> Orchestrator.n6.handle(bottom) [label="Research result"]
}
Code { # Code Agent
n11: rectangle label:"Generate code"
n12: rectangle label:"Run tests"
n11.handle(right) -> n12.handle(left)
n12.handle(top) -> Orchestrator.n6.handle(bottom) [label="Code result"]
}
Review { # Review Agent
n13: rectangle label:"Evaluate quality"
n14: rectangle label:"Flag issues"
n13.handle(right) -> n14.handle(left)
n14.handle(top) -> Orchestrator.n6.handle(bottom) [label="Review result"]
}

Paste it at https://flowzap.xyz to see all three views rendered live.

Why FlowZap?

One .fz file → three synchronized diagram views — no drift
MCP-native: FlowZap MCP server works with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and 9 others
Machine-readable capabilities — no auth, fully free
175+ templates at https://flowzap.xyz/templates

Happy to submit a PR — could go in ARCHITECTURE.md or the docs wherever fits.

Fix Plan

To integrate the FlowZap architecture diagram into the AutoGen documentation, follow these steps:

Create a new file: Add a new file named architecture.fz in the root of the AutoGen repository with the provided FlowZap code.
Update documentation: Create a new section in ARCHITECTURE.md or the relevant documentation file with a link to the FlowZap live renderer.
Embed the diagram: Use an iframe or an image to embed the rendered diagram in the documentation.

Example Markdown code:

### Architecture
The AutoGen architecture can be viewed in three synchronized diagram views using FlowZap:
<iframe src="https://flowzap.xyz/render?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/autogen/autogen/main/architecture.fz" width="100%" height="500"></iframe>

Alternatively, you can use an image:

### Architecture
The AutoGen architecture can be viewed in three synchronized diagram views using FlowZap:
![Architecture Diagram](https://flowzap.xyz/render/png?url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/autogen/autogen/main/architecture.fz)

Commit and submit PR: Commit the changes and submit a pull request to the AutoGen repository.

Verification

To verify that the fix worked, check that:

The architecture.fz file is correctly rendered on the FlowZap live renderer.
The documentation displays the embedded diagram correctly.
The link to the FlowZap live renderer works as expected.

Extra Tips

Make sure to update the architecture.fz file whenever the AutoGen architecture changes.
Consider adding a brief description of the FlowZap tool and its benefits in the documentation.
If you encounter any issues with the FlowZap integration, refer to the FlowZap documentation for troubleshooting guides.
