System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Generates comprehensive architecture documentation for any codebase by surveying the repository structure, entry points, APIs, and data flows, then writes structured Markdown docs with an INDEX to keep architecture knowledge up-to-date and discoverable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scout phase that explores top-level structure, package managers, entry points, APIs, data stores, and subsystems.
  • Analyze phase that identifies major subsystems, shared patterns, port maps, and external integrations.
  • Write phase that creates per-subsystem docs (Overview, Architecture, Key Components, API/IPC/Protocol, Configuration, Key Files Reference).
  • Index phase that generates an INDEX.md with a document table and a section lookup for fast navigation.
  • Optional integration with an /arch skill to expose generated docs.

Quick Start

Run arch-gen on your project to generate a complete architecture documentation set in docs/architecture.
