FAQPage Schema

How do I generate architecture diagrams from my codebase automatically?▼

You can automatically generate architecture diagrams from your codebase by running a documentation workflow that analyzes application flow and component relationships to produce Mermaid syntax visuals. This keeps your documentation synchronized with the actual code structure.

What types of Mermaid diagrams can I generate for software documentation?▼

You can generate four types of Mermaid diagrams for software documentation: Application Architecture, Integration Flow, Component Architecture, and Deployment diagrams. These structured visuals comprehensively cover application flow and deployment sequences.

How do I keep architecture visuals in sync with my codebase?▼

To keep architecture visuals in sync with your codebase, auto-generate Mermaid diagrams directly from the current project source. This prevents outdated diagrams and miscommunication by producing living documentation that reflects the latest component relationships.

Can I embed auto-generated Mermaid diagrams in my README?▼

Yes, you can embed auto-generated Mermaid diagrams in your README or docs. The workflow produces structured documentation sketches with correct Mermaid syntax that can be directly integrated into your existing project documentation files.

Does this approach work for visualizing deployment sequences and integration flow?▼

Yes, this approach works for visualizing deployment sequences and integration flow. It generates specific Mermaid diagram types that map out component relationships and deployment sequences directly from the codebase architecture.

Best way to create living documentation for onboarding new engineers?▼

The best way to create living documentation for onboarding new engineers is to auto-generate Mermaid architecture diagrams from your codebase. This provides up-to-date visual context of application flow and component architecture without manual maintenance overhead.
