FAQPage Schema
How do I gather technical context from existing architecture files and ADRs before feature implementation?

To gather technical context, this Skill consolidates documentation, codebase analysis, architecture files, and existing ADRs. It extracts reusable patterns and identifies dependencies to inform decision-making before starting feature implementation.

What is the best way to identify codebase patterns and constraints for architectural decision making?

Identifying codebase patterns for decision making involves analyzing existing code and architecture files to extract reusable patterns. This Skill proactively asks targeted questions to fill knowledge gaps regarding constraints and preferred implementation approaches.

How does context gathering handle missing documentation when analyzing a codebase?

Context gathering handles missing documentation by proactively asking targeted user questions. This approach fills knowledge gaps directly, ensuring dependencies and constraints are accurately identified despite incomplete source materials.

Can I use this context gathering approach to support ADR generation for a new software project?

Yes, you can use this context gathering approach to support ADR generation. It collects comprehensive architectural decisions and extracts patterns, providing a solid foundation for architecture decision records and workflow progression.

Does automated context extraction work without integrating external dependencies?

Automated context extraction works without external dependencies. The Skill operates independently using internal scripts and references to consolidate data from local documentation, codebase analysis, and existing architecture files.
