Research a codebase and produce an architectural document describing how features or systems work. The output includes Mermaid diagrams and stable code references suitable for humans and AI agents.
Provide the location of the codebase and your target audience to generate a human- and AI-friendly architecture document.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
Generate architecture documentation by analyzing the codebase to produce a Markdown document with Overview, Components, Data Flow, Configuration, Code References, and Glossary sections, plus Mermaid diagrams to explain system structure for onboarding and knowledge transfer.
Document codebase architecture by producing a Markdown file containing Mermaid diagrams and stable code references, creating a structured output readable by both humans and AI agents navigating the system structure.
Yes, you can create Mermaid architecture diagrams across languages and tech stacks. The process researches the codebase and generates applicable architectural documents and data flow visualizations for any software project.
Architecture documentation generation works without dependencies or components. You provide the codebase location and target audience to generate a human- and AI-friendly Markdown document with Mermaid diagrams and a code-reference index.
Include a code-reference index in architecture docs to provide stable code references for humans and AI agents. This anchors architectural descriptions to actual codebase locations, supporting accurate knowledge transfer and architectural reviews.
