SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli, and includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

DevDude solves the challenge of maintaining codebase architecture and implementing complex features by automating the investigation, design, and implementation phases through a coordinated swarm of specialized AI agents.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture Investigation: Automatically maps codebase structure, identifies modules, and generates comprehensive documentation with Mermaid diagrams.
  • Feature Implementation: Designs and implements new features using a structured workflow that includes design options, architecture critique, and a user review gate.
  • Use Case: Use this to quickly onboard to a new, undocumented project by generating a full architecture overview, or to safely implement a complex feature by having agents design, critique, and test the implementation before you approve it.

Quick Start

Use the dev-dude skill to perform a full architecture investigation of the current codebase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate codebase architecture investigation for an undocumented project?

Codebase architecture investigation is automated by orchestrating parallel agent swarms to map project structure, identify modules, and generate comprehensive documentation with Mermaid diagrams. This solves the challenge of quickly onboarding to undocumented codebases without manual analysis.

What is the best way to implement a complex feature using an agent swarm?

The best way to implement complex features is using a structured agent swarm workflow that generates design options, performs architecture critique, and applies a user review gate before execution. This ensures safe implementation through automated design, critique, and testing prior to approval.

Do I need code-indexing MCP servers to generate architecture documentation?

Yes, code-indexing MCP servers are required to function. The orchestration relies on these servers alongside the Mermaid CLI and TeamCreate capabilities to perform parallel codebase analysis and generate architectural diagrams.

Does feature implementation with this workflow include a manual approval step?

Yes, feature implementation includes a user review gate. Agents design, critique, and test the implementation, but the workflow pauses for your approval before final execution, ensuring safe implementation of complex features.

How does Mermaid CLI integration work for codebase structure mapping?

Mermaid CLI integration works by rendering visual diagrams from the analyzed project structure and module relationships. The agent swarm processes the codebase architecture and outputs Mermaid diagrams to provide a visual overview of conventions and modules.

Can I use this for large scale codebase refactoring and module mapping?

Yes, you can use this for large scale codebases. The parallel agent swarms analyze project structure and conventions across the entire codebase, generating comprehensive architecture documentation and executing feature design suitable for complex environments.
