What problem does it solve?
Infers and documents architecture from an existing codebase. Use when the codebase has some structure but lacks formal architecture documentation; retrofits arc42-aligned docs during onboarding or major refactors.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Infer project purpose and build an initial architecture overview from code signals.
- Generate arc42-aligned documentation (docs/architecture) and preserve an open-issues trail in 99-open-issues.md for unknowns.
- Detect architecture drift and propose retrofitting steps to align code with design intent.
Quick Start
Run the skill on a codebase with missing architecture docs to generate arc42-aligned documentation and supporting artifacts.
