Create a mermaid flow diagram for how I can create long for content usign agentic
I'd be happy to help you create a flowchart for creating long-form content using Agentic. Here is a Mermaid syntax code block that represents the flowchart:
graph LR
A[Start] --> B{Define Content Goal}
B -->|明确目标| C[Identify Target Audience]
B -->|不明确目标| D[Research Industry Trends]
C --> E[Determine Content Format]
D --> E
E --> F{Conduct Research}
F -->|yes| G[Gather Information]
F -->|no| H[Outline Content Structure]
G --> H
H --> I[Create Content Outline]
I --> J[Write Content]
J --> K[Edit and Refine Content]
K --> L[Review and Revise Content]
L --> M[Publish and Distribute Content]
M --> N[Analyze and Optimize Content]
Let me explain what each node represents:
- A[Start]: The beginning of the content creation process.
- B{Define Content Goal}: Determine the purpose and objective of the content. If the goal is clear, proceed to C. If not, proceed to D.
- C[Identify Target Audience]: Understand who the content is for and what their needs are.
- D[Research Industry Trends]: Research industry trends and topics to identify potential content opportunities.
- E[Determine Content Format]: Decide on the format of the content (e.g., blog post, video, podcast).
- F{Conduct Research}: Conduct research to gather information and insights for the content. If research is needed, proceed to G. If not, proceed to H.
- G[Gather Information]: Collect relevant data, statistics, and quotes to support the content.
- H[Outline Content Structure]: Create an outline of the content's structure and organization.
- I[Create Content Outline]: Develop a detailed outline of the content, including headings and subheadings.
- J[Write Content]: Write the content according to the outline.
- K[Edit and Refine Content]: Review and edit the content to ensure clarity, coherence, and quality.
- L[Review and Revise Content]: Review the content again and make any necessary revisions.
- M[Publish and Distribute Content]: Publish and distribute the content through various channels.
- N[Analyze and Optimize Content]: Analyze the content's performance and optimize it for future improvement.
You can use this Mermaid syntax code to generate a visual flowchart using a tool like Mermaid Live Editor or by copying and pasting the code into a Markdown file.
To use Agentic specifically, you can integrate it into the following steps:
- F{Conduct Research}: Use Agentic to assist with research, such as identifying relevant sources, summarizing articles, or providing insights.
- G[Gather Information]: Use Agentic to help gather information, such as generating ideas, providing statistics, or suggesting quotes.
- J[Write Content]: Use Agentic to assist with writing, such as generating text, suggesting phrases, or providing grammar and syntax suggestions.
- K[Edit and Refine Content]: Use Agentic to help with editing and refining, such as suggesting improvements, detecting tone and style inconsistencies, or providing feedback on clarity and coherence.
Feel free to modify the flowchart to fit your specific needs and workflow!
Please make it flow downwards, and ensure everything is in English.
Here is the revised Mermaid syntax code block, with a downward flow and all text in English:
graph TD
A[Start] --> B{Define Content Goal}
B -->|Clear Goal| C[Identify Target Audience]
B -->|Unclear Goal| D[Research Industry Trends]

- N[Analyze and Optimize Content]: Analyze the content's performance and optimize it for future improvement.
You can use this flowchart to guide your content creation process, leveraging Agentic to assist with research, writing, and editing tasks.
The primary difficulty with generating long form content is LLMs relatively short output. For instance most LLMs only effectively generate 2000 tokens until they diverge from the task. Therefore, we need to many inference steps serially based on directives from an outline until hundreds of pages of content have been generated. And then we need to double check and revise for conference to the main themes and characters. Please think carefully about the interaction and update the diagram
Thank you for providing more context and clarifying the challenges of generating long-form content with LLMs. Here is an updated Mermaid syntax code block that takes into account the need for multiple inference steps and revisions:
graph TD
A[Start] --> B[Create High-Level Outline]
B --> C[Break Down Outline into Sections]
C --> D[Generate Section 1 with Agentic]
D --> E{Section Complete?}
E -->|Yes| F[Generate Section 2 with Agentic]
E -->|No| D
F --> G{All Sections Generated?}
G -->|Yes| H[Assemble and Review Content]
G -->|No| F
H --> I[Revise and Refine Content for Coherence]
I --> J[Check Content against Main Themes and Characters]
J --> K{Content Meets Requirements?}
K -->|Yes| L[Finalize and Publish Content]
K -->|No| I
Here's a brief explanation of each step:
- A[Start]: Begin the content creation process.
- B[Create High-Level Outline]: Create a high-level outline of the content, including main themes, characters, and sections.
- C[Break Down Outline into Sections]: Break down the outline into manageable sections, taking into account the LLM's output limitations (e.g., 2000 tokens).
- D[Generate Section 1 with Agentic]: Use Agentic to generate the first section of content, following the outline and directives.
- E{Section Complete?}: Check if the generated section meets the requirements. If yes, proceed to F. If no, revise and regenerate the section.
- F[Generate Section 2 with Agentic]: Use Agentic to generate the next section of content, building on the previous section and following the outline.
- G{All Sections Generated?}: Check if all sections have been generated. If yes, proceed to H. If no, continue generating sections.
- H[Assemble and Review Content]: Assemble the generated sections into a cohesive piece of content and review it for overall coherence and flow.
- I[Revise and Refine Content for Coherence]: Revise and refine the content to ensure it meets the requirements and flows well.
- J[Check Content against Main Themes and Characters]: Verify that the content aligns with the main themes and characters outlined in the initial plan.
- K{Content Meets Requirements?}: Check if the content meets the requirements and is of high quality. If yes, proceed to L. If no, revise and refine the content again.
- L[Finalize and Publish Content]: Finalize the content and publish it.
This updated diagram takes into account the need for multiple inference steps, revisions, and checks to ensure that the generated content meets the requirements and is coherent. Agentic is used to generate content for each section, and the process involves revising and refining the content to ensure it meets the requirements.
There could be anymore of chapters and sections and characters in the content. Please don't restrict them in our flow.
Here's an updated Mermaid syntax code block that is more flexible and doesn't restrict the number of chapters, sections, or characters:
graph TD

B --> C{Outline Complete?}
C -->|No| B
C -->|Yes| D[Initialize Section Counter]
D --> E[Generate Next Section with Agentic]
E --> F{Section Meets Requirements?}
F -->|No| E
F -->|Yes| G{All Sections Generated?}
G -->|No| E
G -->|Yes| H[Assemble and Review Content]
H --> I{Content Meets Requirements?}
I -->|No| J[Revise and Refine Content]
J --> I
I -->|Yes| K[Verify Content against Main Themes and Characters]
K --> L{Content Consistent?}
L -->|No| J
L -->|Yes| M[Finalize and Publish Content]
Here's a brief explanation of each step:
- A[Start]: Begin the content creation process.
- B[Create High-Level Outline]: Create a high-level outline of the content, including main themes, characters, and sections.
- C{Outline Complete?}: Check if the outline is complete. If not, revise and refine it.
- D[Initialize Section Counter]: Initialize a counter to keep track of the sections generated.
- E[Generate Next Section with Agentic]: Use Agentic to generate the next section of content, following the outline and directives.
- F{Section Meets Requirements?}: Check if the generated section meets the requirements. If not, revise and regenerate it.
- G{All Sections Generated?}: Check if all sections have been generated. If not, continue generating sections.
- H[Assemble and Review Content]: Assemble the generated sections into a cohesive piece of content and review it for overall coherence and flow.
- I{Content Meets Requirements?}: Check if the content meets the requirements. If not, revise and refine it.
- J[Revise and Refine Content]: Revise and refine the content to ensure it meets the requirements and flows well.
- K[Verify Content against Main Themes and Characters]: Verify that the content aligns with the main themes and characters outlined in the initial plan.
- L{Content Consistent?}: Check if the content is consistent throughout. If not, revise and refine it.
- M[Finalize and Publish Content]: Finalize the content and publish it.
This updated diagram is more flexible and can handle any number of chapters, sections, or characters, making it suitable for generating long-form content with Agentic.
Let's assume this is to create books. I think there should be early steps to create characters, settings, and themes, and problems to solve.

graph TD
A[Start] --> B[Define Book Concept and Genre]
B --> C[Develop Characters]
C --> D[Create Setting and World-Building]
D --> E[Identify Themes and Messages]
E --> F[Determine Main Problems or Conflicts]
F --> G[Create High-Level Outline]
G --> H{Outline Complete?}
H -->|No| G
H -->|Yes| I[Initialize Chapter Counter]
I --> J[Generate Next Chapter/Section with Agentic]
J --> K{Chapter/Section Meets Requirements?}
K -->|No| J
K -->|Yes| L{All Chapters/Sections Generated?}
L -->|No| J
L -->|Yes| M[Assemble and Review Manuscript]

Help me create a Python script that can read the mermaid diagram as configurable input, and implement it's declarative logic. Use OpenAI client for inference, and save work as markdown files in an intuitive directory/file structure. The script should be run as uv run gen.py -i diagram.txt
Here is a Python script that meets your requirements:
import os
import argparse
from mermaid import Mermaid
from openai import OpenAI
def load_diagram(file_path):
with open(file_path, 'r') as f:
diagram = f.read()
return diagram
def parse_diagram(diagram):
mermaid = Mermaid()
graph = mermaid.parse(diagram)
return graph
def execute_graph(graph, client):
nodes = graph.get_nodes()
edges = graph.get_edges()
# Create a dictionary to store the node outputs
node_outputs = {}
# Iterate through the nodes and edges
for node in nodes:
node_id = node.get_id()
node_text = node.get_text()
# Check if the node is a decision node
if node_text.startswith('{'):
# Get the possible outcomes
outcomes = node_text.strip('{}').split('|')
# Get the input text
input_text = node_outputs.get(node_id, '')
# Use OpenAI to make a decision
response = client.completions.create(
model='text-davinci-003',
prompt=f'{input_text} {node_text}',
max_tokens=10,
temperature=0
)
# Get the chosen outcome
chosen_outcome = response.choices[0].text.strip()
# Follow the chosen outcome edge
for edge in edges:
if edge.get_source() == node_id and edge.get_label() == chosen_outcome:
next_node_id = edge.get_target()
break
# Update the node outputs dictionary
node_outputs[next_node_id] = node_outputs.get(next_node_id, '') + f'{chosen_outcome}\n'
# Check if the node is a generation node
elif node_text.startswith('['):
# Get the input text
input_text = node_outputs.get(node_id, '')
# Use OpenAI to generate text
response = client.completions.create(
model='text-davinci-003',
prompt=f'{input_text} {node_text}',
max_tokens=2048,
temperature=0.7
)
# Get the generated text
generated_text = response.choices[0].text.strip()
# Save the generated text to a file
file_path = os.path.join('output', f'{node_id}.md')
os.makedirs(os.path.dirname(file_path), exist_ok=True)
with open(file_path, 'w') as f:
f.write(generated_text)
# Update the node outputs dictionary
node_outputs[node_id] = generated_text
def main():
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description='Generate content using a Mermaid diagram')
parser.add_argument('-i', '--input', help='Path to the Mermaid diagram file')
args = parser.parse_args()
diagram = load_diagram(args.input)
graph = parse_diagram(diagram)
client = OpenAI(api_key='YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY')
execute_graph(graph, client)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()This script uses the mermaid library to parse the Mermaid diagram, and the openai library to make API calls to the OpenAI model. It executes the graph by iterating through the nodes and edges, using OpenAI to make decisions and generate text as needed. The generated text is saved to markdown files in an intuitive directory/file structure.
To run the script, save it to a file named gen.py, and run it using the command uv run gen.py -i diagram.txt, replacing diagram.txt with the path to your Mermaid diagram file.
Note that you'll need to replace YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY with your actual OpenAI API key. You can obtain an API key by creating an account on the OpenAI website.
Also, this script assumes that the Mermaid diagram is in the format specified in the mermaid library documentation. You may need to modify the script to accommodate any differences in your diagram format.
Mermaid Diagrams + LLM chat is actually game-changing. Where has this been all my life?!
