arch-arc42

Automate arc42 architecture documentation generation by scanning existing artifacts like ADRs and quality attributes to generate prose for sections §2-11. This ensures narrative consistency across the documentation without manual authoring.

Arc42 narrative generation is the process of creating prose content for arc42 sections §2-11 by analyzing existing architecture artifacts. It syncs documented decisions and quality attributes directly into the narrative structure.

You can refresh arc42 sections when new architecture decision records are added by running the content refresh mode. This updates the narrative to reflect the latest ADRs and quality attribute changes automatically.

arch-arc42 works directly with arch-c4, arch-uml, and arch-adr tools to integrate existing diagrams and decision records into the narrative generation workflow. It requires access to these architecture artifacts for scanning.

The best way to keep architecture documentation consistent with ADRs is automating narrative updates upon every new decision record. This eliminates manual synchronization errors and maintains an up-to-date architecture view across sections §2-11.

You need existing architecture artifacts such as ADRs, bounded contexts, and use cases to generate arc42 sections. The Skill scans these inputs to produce the narrative prose, requiring access to the documentation repository.
