SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Architectural clarity for existing codebases where current drift obscures decision making and slows delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scans repository structure and dependencies to reveal current architecture
  • Captures intent through a structured interview and surfaces constraints
  • Produces a shareable insights document with current state, gaps, and recommended direction
  • Maps seams and bounded contexts to guide safe refactors

Quick Start

Invoke the architecture-compass skill to orient your current repository and generate an insights document.

Frequently Asked Questions about architecture-compass

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I assess architecture drift in an existing codebase?▼

Bounded contexts map logical domain boundaries within a repository, guiding safe refactors by exposing seams between modules. Mapping bounded contexts helps teams understand structural constraints and plan targeted architectural improvements without destabilizing unrelated system areas.

How do I document current architecture for onboarding new teams?▼

Architecture mapping scans a single repository or bounded service scope to reveal the current structural state and dependencies. It identifies architectural drift, captures constraints through a structured interview, and outputs an actionable target structure and bounded-context diagram.

Can I use this to plan a refactor for a single service or module?▼

Yes, it supports single-repo scope and bounded service scope. By mapping dependencies and capturing constraints through a structured interview, it scales architecture mapping to guide safe refactors and generate a concrete target structure for your specific module.

What is the best way to align stakeholders on a recommended architecture direction?▼

An architecture insights document includes the current state, identified gaps, and a recommended direction. It maps dependencies, captures intent via structured interview, and provides a concrete action plan with a diagram and bounded-context map to guide safe refactors.
