+# qdbd: QuickDBD diagrams from the command line
+
+`qdbd` turns [QuickDBD](https://www.quickdatabasediagrams.com)-syntax `.txt` schemas, or a dbt project, into **interactive ER diagrams** with **no table limit**. The diagrams stay readable at 200+ tables.

+
+## 1. Install
+
+```bash
+pipx install quickdbd-cli      # or: pip install quickdbd-cli / uv tool install quickdbd-cli
+qdbd --version
+```
+
+- **Requirements:** Python 3.11+. Nothing else: no Graphviz, Node or browser. Layout uses [ELK](https://eclipse.dev/elk/) running in an embedded JavaScript engine.
+- **Try it without installing:** prefix any command with `uvx --from quickdbd-cli`, e.g. `uvx --from quickdbd-cli qdbd build schema.txt -o schema.html`.
+- **`qdbd: command not found`?** `pip install` put the script in a directory that isn't on your `PATH`. Use `pipx`, or run `python -m pip show -f quickdbd-cli` to find it.
+
+## 2. Quick start: your first diagram in 5 minutes
+
+### 2.1 Write (or paste) a schema
+
+Save this as `schema.txt`. If you already have a schema in QuickDBD, copy it from the editor and paste it in unchanged.
+
+```text
+Customer
+-
+CustomerId PK int
+Name string
+Email string UNIQUE
+
+Order as o
+----
+OrderId PK int
+CustomerId int FK >- Customer.CustomerId
+OrderDate datetime
+Total decimal(10,2)
+```
+
+A table is a name, a line of dashes, then one column per line. `FK >- Customer.CustomerId` means *many orders → one customer*. See the [syntax cheat sheet](#31-syntax-cheat-sheet).
+
+### 2.2 Check it
+
+```bash
+qdbd check schema.txt
+```
+
+```text
+No errors found. Good job!
+```
+
+Errors print as `schema.txt:12: error: …` (QuickDBD's own messages) and exit with code 1.
+
+### 2.3 Edit it live
+
+```bash
+qdbd serve schema.txt
+```
+
+A browser tab opens with the diagram and an editor pane.
+
+- **Edit** in the pane (it autosaves after 1 s) or in your own editor. The diagram reloads on save.
+- **Drag tables** to arrange them. Positions are saved to `schema.layout.json`; commit it next to the schema.
+- **Stop** with `Ctrl+C`.
+
+### 2.4 Build a page to share
+
+```bash
+qdbd build schema.txt -o schema.html
+```
+
+`schema.html` is a single self-contained file. Open it locally, email it, attach it to a ticket, or publish it on GitHub Pages ([7.1](#71-github-action)).
+
+### 2.5 Export an image
+
+```bash
+qdbd export schema.txt -o schema.png                       # whole diagram (.png, .svg or .drawio)
+qdbd export schema.txt --focus Order --depth 1 -o order.svg   # one table and its neighbours
+```
+
+`.drawio` files open in [diagrams.net](https://app.diagrams.net) as editable ER shapes.
+
+## 3. Working with schema files
+
+### 3.1 Syntax cheat sheet
+
+```text
+# A comment above a table or column becomes its tooltip
+"Sales Order" as so          # quote names with spaces or dots; "as" adds an alias
+--------------
+Id PK int IDENTITY
+CustomerId int FK >- Customer.Id
+Status varchar(20) default=new INDEX
+Notes text NULL              # columns are NOT NULL unless marked NULL
+```
+
+| Column keyword | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `PK` | primary key (several `PK` columns make a composite key) |
+| `FK >- Table.Column` | foreign key with a relationship |
+| `NULL` / `NULLABLE` | nullable |
+| `UNIQUE`, `INDEX` | unique key, index |
+| `IDENTITY` / `AUTOINCREMENT` | auto-generated |
+| `default=value` | default value |
+
+| Relationship | Meaning (left → right) |
+|---|---|
+| `-` | one to one |
+| `-<` / `>-` | one to many / many to one |
+| `>-<` | many to many |
+| `-0` / `0-` / `0-0` | involving zero-or-one |
+| `-0<` / `>0-` | involving zero-or-many |
+
+Full reference: [Schema Syntax](https://markphamm.github.io/quickdbd-cli/syntax/).
+
+### 3.2 One folder, many files
+
+Big schemas are easier to manage split into files. Point any command at a folder and every `*.txt` under it (recursively) becomes **one** diagram:
+
+```text
+schema/
+├── sales.txt        # Order, OrderLine, Invoice …
+├── customers.txt    # Customer, Address …
+└── products.txt
+```
+
+```bash
+qdbd build schema/ -o schema.html
+```
+
+- Foreign keys can point at tables in other files.
+- Each file becomes a group in the sidebar and can be shaded as a **region**.
+- `--by-group` arranges the tables so each file's tables sit together.
+
+### 3.3 Table positions
+
+| Situation | What happens |
+|---|---|
+| First build | Tables are auto-arranged by their relationships |
+| You drag tables in `qdbd serve` | Positions are saved to the layout file |
+| You add a new table later | It's placed next to the tables it's related to. Nothing else moves |
+| Schema pasted from QuickDBD with a `[layout]` section | Those positions are used for tables the layout file doesn't cover |
+| You want a fresh arrangement | `qdbd layout PATH --reset` |
+
+Where the layout file goes:
+
+- `schema.txt` → `schema.layout.json`
+- a folder → `<folder>/qdbd.layout.json`
+- anywhere else: `--layout FILE`
+
+`qdbd build` never writes the layout file, so CI builds leave your working tree clean. More: [Table Positions](https://markphamm.github.io/quickdbd-cli/layout/).
+
+### 3.4 Differences from QuickDBD
+
+`qdbd` accepts a few things QuickDBD rejects, and prints a warning for each:
+
+- tab characters
+- a space inside a type: `decimal(10, 2)`
+- an explicit `NOT NULL`
+- indented table names
+- `[layout]` entries for tables that don't exist
+
+`qdbd check --strict` turns these warnings into errors, so a file that passes will paste into QuickDBD cleanly. Also, `default=` values keep their case, where QuickDBD lowercases them.
+
+## 4. Exploring a diagram
+
+Every page from `build` or `serve` works the same way. A full tour is in [Reading the Diagram](https://markphamm.github.io/quickdbd-cli/reading-the-diagram/).
+
+### 4.1 Page tour
+
+![Table details panel](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MarkPhamm/quickdbd-cli/main/docs/assets/img/details.png)
+
+| Part | What you can do |
+|---|---|
+| **Explorer** (left) | Tables grouped by file. Press `/` to search; Enter jumps to the best match |
+| **Canvas** | Drag tables, drag empty space to pan, scroll to zoom. Hover a column to highlight its relationships |
+| **Details panel** (right) | Click a table: columns, doc comments, *References* / *Referenced by*, path finder |
+| **Toolbar** (top right) | Collapse tables (Full / Keys / Names), Regions, **Link**, SVG / PNG / draw.io download, zoom |
+| **Minimap** (bottom right) | Click or drag to move around |
+
+**Link** copies a URL to exactly what you're looking at: the filter, selected table, path, collapse mode and zoom. Send it to a teammate.
+
+### 4.2 Filter with selectors
+
+The explorer's filter box takes dbt-style selectors that follow **relationships** (not lineage). The same selectors work as `-s/--select` and `--exclude` on `build` and `export`.
+
+| Selector | Tables |
+|---|---|
+| `orders`, `stg_*` | by name or alias (glob, case-insensitive) |
+| `+orders` / `orders+` | `orders` and what it references / what references it |
+| `+orders+1` | one hop in both directions |
+| `group:marts`, `file:core.txt` | a folder or a file |
+| `col:customer_id` | tables with a matching column |
+| `a b` / `a,b` / `!a` | union / intersection / exclude |
+
+```bash
+qdbd build erd/ -s 'group:marts' --exclude '*_tmp' -o marts.html
+qdbd export erd/ -s '+orders+1' -o orders.png
+```
+
+![Filter +Order+1](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MarkPhamm/quickdbd-cli/main/docs/assets/img/filter.png)
+
+More: [Selecting Tables](https://markphamm.github.io/quickdbd-cli/selectors/).
+
+### 4.3 Find how two tables join
+
+In a table's details panel, type another table's name. The shortest join path is highlighted on the canvas, with a ready-to-paste SQL `JOIN`. From the terminal:
+
+```bash
+qdbd path schema/ --from Invoice --to Campaign
+```
+
+![Path from Invoice to Campaign](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MarkPhamm/quickdbd-cli/main/docs/assets/img/path.png)
+
+## 5. dbt projects
+
+### 5.1 Generate the schema from dbt
+
+```bash
+cd your-dbt-project
+dbt docs generate                                # writes target/manifest.json + catalog.json
+qdbd import dbt target/ -o erd/ --infer-fks      # one .txt per dbt folder
+qdbd build erd/ --by-group -o erd.html           # open erd.html
+```
+
+`dbt docs generate` is what supplies column names and types for models without documented columns. Without it, many tables show up with no columns and `qdbd` prints a hint.
+
+See it on a real project: the [jaffle_shop demo](https://markphamm.github.io/quickdbd-cli/demo/jaffle/) and the [step-by-step walkthrough](https://markphamm.github.io/quickdbd-cli/example/).
+
+### 5.2 What gets imported
+
+| In the diagram | Comes from |
+|---|---|
+| Tables | your project's models, seeds and snapshots, plus sources |
+| Primary keys | `primary_key` constraints, or a column with both `unique` and `not_null` tests |
+| Relationships | `relationships` tests (incl. dbt_utils `relationships_where`) and `foreign_key` constraints |
+| Column types | `catalog.json` |
+| Tooltips | model and column descriptions |
+
+Useful options: `--select 'marts.*'` (repeatable), `--no-sources`, `--package all`, `-o schema.txt` for a single file.
+
+### 5.3 Infer missing relationships
+
+Most dbt projects don't declare every foreign key. `--infer-fks` links columns like `customer_id` to the table they name (`dim_customers`, `stg_shop__customers`, …) when no relationship is declared. Ambiguous matches are skipped, never guessed.
+
+### 5.4 Keep it in sync
+
+Re-run the import whenever models change. It overwrites the generated `.txt` files. Your dragged positions survive, because the layout file is keyed by table name. In CI, `--check` fails if the committed files are out of date ([7.2](#72-dbt-projects-in-ci)).
+
+More: [dbt Import](https://markphamm.github.io/quickdbd-cli/dbt/).
+
+## 6. Reviewing schema changes
+
+### 6.1 See what changed
+
+```bash
+qdbd diff old.txt new.txt                       # two versions
+qdbd diff --base origin/main erd/               # a git branch vs your working tree
+qdbd diff --base origin/main erd/ --format markdown -o diff.md   # for a PR comment
+```
+
+It reports tables, columns (added, removed, type and flag changes) and relationships added or removed. `--format json` is also available, and `--exit-code` exits 1 when anything changed.
+
+### 6.2 Highlight changes in the diagram
+
+```bash
+qdbd build erd/ --diff-base origin/main -o erd.html
+```
+
+New tables are green and changed tables amber, with a bar on each changed column. A banner summarises the changes, and **Show changes** filters to them plus their neighbours. The selector `diff:modified+1` does the same from the CLI.

+
+## 7. CI and automation
+
+### 7.1 GitHub Action
+
+Checks the schema and builds the diagram. On pull requests it also posts **one** schema-diff comment (updated on every push) and uploads the diagram with the changes highlighted.
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/erd.yml
+name: ERD
+on: [pull_request, push]
+jobs:
+  erd:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    permissions: { contents: read, pull-requests: write }
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - uses: MarkPhamm/quickdbd-cli@v0.1.7
+        with:
+          path: erd/                  # schema file(s) or folder(s)
+          output: site/index.html
+```
+
+| Input | Default | |
+|---|---|---|
+| `path` | `erd/` | schema files or folders |
+| `output` | `erd/index.html` | where to write the HTML |
+| `check` / `strict` | `true` / `false` | fail on errors / also on QuickDBD-compatibility warnings |
+| `comment` | `true` | post the diff comment on PRs |
+| `select` | | selector for the diagram, e.g. `group:marts` |
+| `qdbd-version` | `latest` | PyPI version |
+
+Outputs: `html`, `changed`, `diff-file`. To publish the diagram on GitHub Pages, add `actions/upload-pages-artifact` + `actions/deploy-pages`; this repo's [`erd.yml`](https://github.com/MarkPhamm/quickdbd-cli/blob/main/.github/workflows/erd.yml) does that for the live demo. All inputs: [GitHub Action](https://markphamm.github.io/quickdbd-cli/github-action/).
+
+### 7.2 dbt projects in CI
+
+Run your dbt setup first, then let the action generate the schema:
+
+```yaml
+      # … dbt deps && dbt build && dbt docs generate
+      - uses: MarkPhamm/quickdbd-cli@v0.1.7
+        with:
+          dbt-manifest: target/
+          dbt-args: --infer-fks
+          path: erd/
+          output: site/index.html
+```
+
+Commit `erd/` so pull requests can be compared with `main`. Set `dbt-check: true` to fail the job when the committed files are out of date instead of regenerating them. Walkthrough: [Automate in CI](https://markphamm.github.io/quickdbd-cli/example/ci/).
+
+### 7.3 pre-commit
+
+```yaml
+repos:
+  - repo: https://github.com/MarkPhamm/quickdbd-cli
+    rev: v0.1.7
+    hooks:
+      - id: qdbd-check
+        files: ^erd/.*\.txt$
+```
+
+### 7.4 GitLab CI (or any CI)
+
+```yaml
+erd:
+  image: python:3.12
+  script:
+    - pip install quickdbd-cli
+    - qdbd check erd/
+    - qdbd build erd/ -o public/index.html
+  artifacts:
+    paths: [public/index.html]
+```
+
+Builds are deterministic (no timestamps or randomness), so the output only changes when the schema does.
+
+## 8. Command reference
+
+```bash
+qdbd check  PATH... [--strict]                      # validate
+qdbd serve  PATH... [--port 8765]                   # live editor + drag to arrange
+qdbd build  PATH... -o diagram.html                 # interactive HTML
+qdbd export PATH... -o out.png|.svg|.drawio [--focus T --depth 1]
+qdbd layout PATH... [--reset]                       # (re)write the layout file
+qdbd path   PATH... --from A --to B                 # shortest join path + SQL JOIN
+qdbd diff   OLD NEW | --base REF PATH...            # schema changes
+qdbd import dbt target/ -o erd/ [--infer-fks]       # schema files from dbt
+```
+
+`PATH` is a `.txt` file or a folder (read recursively). Run `qdbd COMMAND --help` for every option, or see [The qdbd CLI](https://markphamm.github.io/quickdbd-cli/cli/).
+
+## 9. Development
+
+```bash
+uv venv && uv pip install -e ".[dev,docs]"
+.venv/bin/pytest                                      # full suite
+.venv/bin/ruff check src tests scripts && .venv/bin/ruff format src tests scripts
+.venv/bin/mkdocs serve                                # docs site at localhost:8000
+.venv/bin/qdbd serve examples/synthetic               # 200-table playground
+```
+
+More: [Local Development](https://markphamm.github.io/quickdbd-cli/development/). The design notes are in [`docs/superpowers/specs/`](docs/superpowers/specs/2026-10-17-qdbd-design.md).
+
+### 9.1 Releasing
+
+1. Put PyPI credentials in `.env` (gitignored): `TWINE_USERNAME=__token__` and `TWINE_PASSWORD=pypi-…`.
+2. Bump `version` in `pyproject.toml` and `src/quickdbd_cli/__init__.py`, then merge.
+3. Run `PATH="$PWD/.venv/bin:$PATH" scripts/release.sh`. It builds, uploads to PyPI, tags `vX.Y.Z` and creates the GitHub release.
