Optional step for the New Diagram command (see the related issue): the user describes the subject in plain words, and the extension suggests a diagram type.

How: archify guide "<description>" --json returns recommendation.type, a title, a summary and confidence. Preselect that type in the type picker, and show the summary as the pick's detail.

Caveat (checked against 3.0.1): it works well for technical text ("CI/CD deployment pipeline with approval gate" → workflow). For everyday text ("approval process for leave requests") it returned confidence: low and suggested architecture. So:

Only preselect when confidence is not low; otherwise just show the full list.
Low priority. Do it after the templates.
