doc-architect

Scaffolding architecture documentation is done by generating a standard Docs-as-Code directory structure using the arc42 template and C4 model. This creates initial drafts for context, containers, components, and ADRs to establish a professional baseline.

The arc42 template structures software architecture documentation by providing a standardized section layout for defining business goals, stakeholders, and technical constraints. It guides the creation of context, containers, and components to ensure clarity and consistency.

Setting up a Docs-as-Code directory structure involves creating folders for Architecture Decision Records and C4 model API references. This skill generates the initial scaffolding and drafts content for system context and building blocks to standardize your documentation.

The C4 model works with arc42 by providing visual context strategies that map directly into the documentation sections. This integration promotes the use of C4 diagrams to visualize system architecture and building blocks within the arc42 framework.

You can generate initial documentation drafts for technical constraints and stakeholders by defining your business goals within the scaffolding process. The skill guides you through these inputs to populate the arc42 sections and C4 context automatically.

The best way to start documenting context and containers is to scaffold the project using the C4 model and arc42 template. This establishes a standard directory structure that organizes system building blocks and API references from the beginning.
