To split a monolithic architecture document, this Skill shards the source file into seven focused sub-documents. It expands the original content by generating Mermaid diagrams, ADRs, gap analyses, and cross-references to guide implementation teams.

Generating ADRs and gap analyses from an existing architecture document involves mapping the source sections and producing structured outputs. This Skill automates that exact process, creating verifiable architecture shards with cross-links and deployment considerations.

You can automatically generate Mermaid diagrams from a monolithic architecture document using this Skill. It processes the source text to produce C4 model diagrams, data flows, and domain boundaries as part of the seven output sub-documents.

Architecture sharding requires no external dependencies to begin. You simply provide the file path to your monolithic architecture document and confirm the start of the sequential step-file workflow to generate the structured outputs.

You need to shard a monolith into multiple architecture documents when implementation teams require focused, traceable sub-documents. This process enforces disciplined generation and breaks down large texts into ADRs, gap analyses, and diagrams for better readability.

The step-file approach for generating architecture shards enforces disciplined, sequential processing of the source document. It ensures traceability by mapping sections step-by-step to produce seven complete sub-documents with cross-references.
