architecture-review

An architecture audit documents a codebase's purpose, key systems, and responsibilities in a consistent format. It serves as a durable reference for stakeholders to understand major subsystems and data flows during technical reviews and knowledge transfer.

To prepare for refactoring an unfamiliar codebase, generate an architecture review to establish a baseline understanding of patterns, integration points, and build mechanics. This documents build and deploy mechanics before you undertake larger structural changes.

The best way to map dependencies and data flow for a technical audit is generating an architecture review document. It captures how major systems work and traces data and config flows across core subsystems for consistent team reference.

Yes, you can use architecture reviews to navigate hard-to-navigate projects by turning them into explorable references. The generated documentation clarifies the directory structure and major systems, enabling engineers to quickly understand the codebase.

Yes, the generated architecture documentation follows a specific naming convention and prescribed template sections. It produces documents directly in the dev-plans repository under the architecture folder to ensure structural consistency across reviews.
