What problem does it solve?
Writing and maintaining consistent, high-quality arc42 architecture documentation is time-consuming and requires deep familiarity with both the arc42 framework and the specific project codebase, leading to incomplete or inaccurate documentation when done manually.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Chapter Authoring: Write new arc42 chapters following official section structure, purpose, and quality criteria for all 12 framework sections.
- Document Editing: Update existing chapters to reflect codebase, infrastructure, or architectural changes while maintaining cross-reference consistency.
- Quality Review: Validate existing chapters against completeness checklists, quality criteria, and codebase accuracy requirements.
- Use Case: A Swiss AI Hub platform architect can use this skill to generate a compliant Section 7 deployment view that accurately maps platform components to the Docker Compose network topology defined in the project's infrastructure files.
Quick Start
Use the arc42 skill to write a complete Section 5 building block view for the Swiss AI Hub platform, referencing the packages/core and packages/agent CL AUDE.md files for source material.
