SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of documenting the structural, semantic, and philosophical context of a module or service. It helps in building necessary artifacts to prevent dark code and improve maintainability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Context Artifacts: Generates module manifests, behavioral contracts, and decision logs for new or heavily modified modules/services.
  • Interview and Embedded Modes: Supports standalone interviews and ADLC embedded mode to adapt to different usage scenarios.
  • Standalone Interview Mode: Facilitates manual documentation of context layers through an interactive interview process.
  • ADLC Embedded Mode: Integrates into ADLC to assist with artifact generation and context capture during automated workflows.
  • Use Case: For a developer working on a complex module, this skill can automatically generate necessary context documents to improve codebase understanding and maintainability.

Quick Start

Use the context-layers skill to build context for the new module 'module-x' with the command 'context-layers new_module="module-x" description="A module for processing transactions."'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate module documentation to prevent dark code in my service architecture?

To prevent dark code, you can generate module documentation by creating structural, semantic, and philosophical context artifacts like module manifests and behavioral contracts. This is achieved through either a standalone interactive interview or automated ADLC integration.

What is the best way to document service boundaries and interfaces for a new module?

The best way to document service boundaries and interfaces is to use an automated context creation tool that captures semantic context details. Providing the module name and description triggers the generation of necessary architectural artifacts and decision logs.

Does ADLC integration support automated context creation for heavily modified modules?

Yes, ADLC integration supports automated context creation for heavily modified modules through its embedded mode. It assists with artifact generation and context capture directly during automated workflows to improve codebase maintainability.

Can I manually document context layers without using an automated ADLC workflow?

Yes, you can manually document context layers using the standalone interview mode. This mode facilitates manual documentation by guiding you through an interactive interview process to capture necessary structural and semantic context details.

What inputs do I need to provide to generate context artifacts for a new module?

To generate context artifacts, you need to provide inputs such as the new module name, a brief description, interface definitions, and service boundaries. The skill uses these inputs to automatically generate the required documentation.
