To generate architecture documentation, this Skill scans your codebase structure, identifies dependencies, and outputs markdown documents containing Mermaid diagrams and stable code references. It automates the research process to make complex systems understandable.

Documenting code architecture for onboarding is best handled by automating architectural overviews. This Skill explores your directory structures and configuration files, generating clear markdown documentation suitable for both human and AI consumption.

Yes, you can scope architectural documentation to specific features or systems. The Skill scopes its research based on user-defined parameters, exploring only the relevant codebase structure to draft targeted architectural overviews.

Codebase exploration for knowledge transfer works by scanning directory structures, READMEs, and configuration files. The Skill builds a mental model of your system, identifies interactions, and drafts architectural overviews with Mermaid diagrams.

Yes, this architectural documentation approach works without external dependencies. The Skill operates independently to research your codebase, identify dependencies and interactions, and generate markdown documents.

Architectural overviews are output as markdown documents containing Mermaid diagrams and stable code references. This format ensures the generated architectural documentation is suitable for both human reading and AI agent consumption.
