SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of creating architect documentation by walking a codebase, applying the Deletion Test, and drafting documents based on load-bearing decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Codebase Analysis: Walks a target directory, applies the Deletion Test to identify load-bearing decisions.
  • Documentation Drafting: Drafts architect and paired developer documents with write/skip/defer prompts.
  • Resumable Sessions: Continues documentation work across sessions without losing progress.
  • Use Case: Ideal for teams looking to maintain comprehensive and up-to-date documentation of their codebase architecture.

Quick Start

Invoke the skill by saying "Theo" and provide the directory you want to analyze.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate architectural documentation for my codebase?

You can automate architectural documentation by walking a target codebase directory, applying the Deletion Test to identify load-bearing decisions, and drafting paired architect and developer documents from those critical decisions.

What is the Deletion Test for codebase analysis?

The Deletion Test is a codebase analysis method used to identify load-bearing decisions within your software architecture, ensuring documentation focuses precisely on critical structural choices rather than superficial code details.

How do I generate developer documentation alongside architect documents?

You generate developer documentation alongside architect documents by analyzing codebase structures and applying the Deletion Test, using write, skip, or defer prompts to manage paired document drafting sessions.

Do I need Python to run codebase documentation generation scripts?

Yes, you need Python installed to execute the codebase documentation scripts and manage state, which enables resumable sessions so you can continue documentation work without losing progress.

Can I resume codebase analysis sessions if documentation drafting is interrupted?

Yes, you can resume codebase analysis sessions if documentation drafting is interrupted, because the skill manages state to continue documentation work across sessions without losing progress.

What's the best way to identify load-bearing decisions in a software architecture?

The best way to identify load-bearing decisions in a software architecture is using cartographic codebase analysis that applies the Deletion Test to pinpoint critical structural choices for automated documentation drafting.
