02-actors-and-boundaries

What problem does it solve?

Identifies all human and system actors that interact with the codebase, then draws the line between what's inside the system and what's outside. This produces the actor inventory, the system boundary definition, and the actor-to-system relationship map — the three inputs required for a C4 Context diagram.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Identify human and system actors from authentication patterns across entry points.
• Produce an actor inventory, boundary definition, and actor-to-system relationship maps for C4 Context diagrams.
• Determine boundary decisions and capture evidence and confidence for each actor to support architecture governance.
• Use after 01-entry-points and 00-recon steps to ensure consistent context and ownership.

Quick Start

Run the 02-actors-and-boundaries skill after completing 01-entry-points and 00-recon to generate a comprehensive actor and boundary report.
