SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Backend codebases often lack consistent architecture documentation, leading to misaligned designs and onboarding delays.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates a centralized architecture standards document (docs/architecture/backend.md) from the codebase.
  • Analyzes service structure, routing, data access, and module boundaries to produce a reference doc.
  • Use Case: When starting a new backend project, run this to establish a conventional architecture baseline.

Quick Start

Run the scan-backend skill on your project to generate docs/architecture/backend.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate backend architecture documentation from an existing codebase?

You can generate backend architecture documentation by scanning your codebase to analyze service structure, routing, data access, and module boundaries, which produces a centralized reference document outlining conventions and patterns.

When do I need to update my backend architecture docs?

You need to update backend architecture docs during initial project setup to establish a baseline and after major refactors to ensure the documentation stays aligned with the actual code structure and conventions.

What is the best way to establish architecture standards for a new backend project?

The best way to establish architecture standards is to scan the initial backend codebase to auto-generate a conventional architecture baseline document that maps out module boundaries and service structure.

Can I auto-generate a centralized document for backend service structure and routing?

Yes, you can auto-generate a centralized document by analyzing backend service structure, routing, and data access patterns, outputting a standard markdown file that serves as an architecture reference.

Does this approach work for keeping documentation aligned after major codebase refactoring?

Yes, this approach works for keeping documentation aligned after major codebase refactoring by re-scanning the updated code structure to regenerate the architecture document with current patterns and conventions.
