SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When users need deep architectural insight across multiple repositories, they must manually scan code, synthesize findings, and produce implementation‑ready designs. This Skill automates that process, handling large, complex systems and delivering a structured architecture plan.

Core Features & Use Cases

Parallel repo scanning with Sonnet subagents to collect factual metadata without costly Opus reads.
Synthesis on Opus to create comprehensive architecture designs, integration maps, risk registers, and staged implementation plans.
Automatic session state management and cost tracking for disciplined, iterative workflows.
Use Cases: redesigning a micro‑service ecosystem, planning cross‑repo feature rollouts, evaluating integration impacts before major refactors.

Quick Start

Ask the architect skill to design a new cross‑service architecture for the “payment‑gateway” feature.

FAQPage Schema

How do I generate an architecture design for a multi-repo system?▼

To generate an architecture design for a multi-repo system, you can automate parallel repository scanning to collect metadata, synthesize integration maps, and produce a structured architecture plan.

What is the best way to plan cross-repo feature rollouts and evaluate integration impacts?▼

Planning cross-repo feature rollouts and evaluating integration impacts requires mapping dependencies across repositories, generating a risk register, and creating a phased implementation breakdown.

Can I analyze multiple codebases in parallel to build an integration map?▼

Yes, you can analyze multiple codebases in parallel by deploying subagents to scan repositories concurrently, collecting factual metadata to build a comprehensive integration map.

How does automated codebase analysis handle session state and cost tracking?▼

Automated codebase analysis handles session state and cost tracking by applying disciplined workflows, managing iterative states automatically, and optimizing resource usage during repository synthesis.

What outputs do I get from an automated architectural codebase analysis?▼

Outputs from an automated architectural codebase analysis include a comprehensive architecture.md file, a detailed risk register, and a staged implementation plan for the multi-repo system.

When do I need deep architectural analysis for a micro-service ecosystem?▼

You need deep architectural analysis for a micro-service ecosystem when redesigning cross-service architectures, evaluating major refactors, or planning cross-repo feature rollouts to ensure structured implementation.
