Auto-generated sequence diagrams are almost always useless. This one is no different.

is there a "format" of describing an architetcure/design in such a way that it lens itself to such visualization?

Hi, author here. The app itself (Ilograph[0]) is fairly old; its first ShowHN was in 2019.

These particular yt-dlp diagrams were an experiment in getting meaningful sequence diagrams from a code repo using Claude. If you open the black tab on the left, you can see the source of the diagrams. Claude was able to generate most of this, albeit with a good amount of back-and-forth to get the details right, plus some manual tweaking in the end.
