SDLC-decompose

To generate code directory structure from design artifacts, this Skill analyzes architecture, API, and data model documents to identify distinct software components and automatically creates dedicated directories for each within your codebase.

Component decomposition in software architecture is the process of identifying cohesive software units based on responsibility, technology stack, and interfaces, then mapping these boundaries into separate directories to structure the codebase effectively.

Transitioning from design to code phase in AI-driven SDLC requires identifying component boundaries from finalized design documents, generating per-component directories, and updating phase instructions to align the codebase with the design.

Yes, you use architecture and API design documents to set up component boundaries. The Skill requires analyzing these design documents to define distinct component responsibilities, technology stacks, and interfaces before generating directories.

Creating per-component metadata files involves generating a CLAUDE.component.md file within each component's directory, summarizing its specific responsibility, technology, interfaces, and requirements extracted from the analyzed design artifacts.

A limitation of automating directory structure generation is that it applies specifically to the transition from Design to Code phase and requires pre-existing architecture, API design, and data model documents to accurately define component boundaries.
