SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create a diagram of data lineage to trace data origins, transformations, and storage locations, enabling clear understanding of data flow and trust boundaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate mermaid-based diagrams that illustrate inputs, transformations, and storage destinations for data pipelines.
  • Assess data provenance and read/write patterns to identify the single source of truth and potential bottlenecks.
  • Use Case: Document a data ingestion pipeline to verify where each data element originates and where it is stored.

Quick Start

Generate a data lineage diagram for your current project.

Frequently Asked Questions about arch-lens-data-lineage

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What is data lineage and how does it map information flow?

Data lineage maps information flow by tracing data origins, transformations, and storage locations to identify the single source of truth. It produces a clear diagram showing read and write paths across data-centric pipelines.

How do I visualize data flow with a mermaid diagram?

To visualize data flow with a mermaid diagram, this Skill requires a frontmatter-defined system description to generate a diagram mapping inputs, transformations, and storage destinations. It outputs a visual representation of read and write paths.

Can I document data provenance and read/write paths for compliance?

Yes, you can document data provenance and read/write paths for compliance by mapping where data elements originate and how they are stored. This lineage diagram supports provenance, compliance, and impact analysis.

What's the best way to trace data origins through transformation pipelines?

The best way to trace data origins through transformation pipelines is to map inputs, transformations, and storage destinations in a data lineage diagram. This approach clearly identifies where data originates and highlights potential bottlenecks.

Do I need a system description to generate a data lineage diagram?

Yes, you need a frontmatter-defined system description to generate a data lineage diagram. This input is required to map the information flow and produce a mermaid-based diagram showing read/write paths.

When should I not use a data lineage diagram for data analysis?

You should not use a data lineage diagram when your project lacks a clear system description or when you need detailed schema analysis rather than information flow mapping. This Skill focuses on high-level provenance and storage tracking.
