Data Flow Diagram

PRO

Show how data moves between processes, stores and outside actors.

Produce a Data Flow Diagram (DFD) — external entities, processes, data stores, and the data flows between them — at context (level 0) and level-1 detail, as editable Mermaid source, following disciplined layout. Use when asked to draw a DFD, show how data flows through a system, or map inputs, processing, and stores.

Ask for it in plain English, e.g.

“draw a data flow diagram”“DFD”“how does data flow”“context diagram of data”
