SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the creation of essential architecture and design documentation, ensuring clarity and consistency for technical and non-technical audiences.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Diagram Generation: Produces C4 model diagrams (Context, Container, Component, Deployment) using Mermaid syntax.
  • Standardized Templates: Provides templates for Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), design documents, and system architecture overviews.
  • Use Case: When starting a new feature, use this Skill to generate the initial system context diagram and a draft design document, ensuring all key stakeholders are aligned on the proposed architecture.

Quick Start

Use the authoring-architecture-docs skill to create a C4 context diagram for the project.
