Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Mellos Mapping Tools (8)
mmap_declare
Grow the map: title (`null` removes it), diagram kind, layer bands, lanes, groups (subsystems), nodes — with `status`, `evidence`, `detail`, `kind`, `group`, `lane`, `submap` — and edges, optionally labeled (all-or-nothing batch)
mmap_update
Record progress **and revise**: status (`planned → in-progress → done` +evidence, `regressed`), relabel a node, move it to another band (`layer`), join/leave a group or lane, set a node kind or a `submap`; rename and re-rank bands (`layers`), relabel groups (`groups`) and lanes (`lanes`); `null` cl…
mmap_remove
Revise: drop edges, nodes, groups, lanes, empty bands — and, with `pages`, whole pages, file and all (permanent; applied after this call's map edits)
mmap_view
Render the current map as text inline (optional `zoom`, `-4`…`2`), ending with a `pages:` line naming every page the project has and which one you are looking at
mmap_read
