SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill prevents architectural drift and documentation errors by automatically validating branch changes against established C4 model standards and peer-container conventions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Standards Enforcement: Checks naming conventions, container prefixes, and required documentation sections against your canonical standards.
  • Peer Comparison: Automatically identifies inconsistencies by comparing new containers against existing technology peers.
  • Use Case: Before merging a feature branch, run this skill to ensure your new container follows the project's naming patterns, includes required authentication protocols, and maintains consistency with similar services in the architecture.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to validate the current branch changes against the architecture standards.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I validate C4 model architecture changes before merging a pull request?▼

You can validate C4 model architecture changes by running this skill on your git diff to identify naming and relationship inconsistencies. It checks branch changes against repository-specific standards and peer-container patterns to generate a compliance report.

What is the best way to enforce Structurizr DSL naming conventions in a feature branch?▼

Enforcing Structurizr DSL naming conventions is done by validating architectural DSL changes against canonical standards. The skill automatically checks container prefixes and required documentation sections to prevent architectural drift.

Can I use this validation to check new containers against existing peer containers in my architecture?▼

Yes, you can check new containers against existing peer containers by comparing technology peers. The skill automatically identifies inconsistencies by comparing newly added containers against similar existing services in your architecture.

Do I need to provide workspace files and standards documentation to validate architecture DSL changes?▼

Yes, you need to provide read access to workspace files and standards documentation to validate architecture DSL changes. The skill requires these inputs to compare branch changes against repository-specific C4 model standards and generate a comprehensive compliance report.

Why does architectural drift occur in C4 models and how can I prevent it before merging?▼

Architectural drift occurs when new branch changes deviate from established C4 model standards. You can prevent it by automatically validating branch changes against peer-container conventions and repository-specific standards to ensure consistency before merging.
