You can generate an architecture diagram by running the Python script `architecture_diagram_generator.py` against your project path. The tool outputs visual diagrams in Mermaid, PlantUML, or ASCII formats to help you visualize system architecture and component relationships.

Detecting circular dependencies and calculating coupling scores is handled by the dependency analysis feature. By running the provided Python scripts against your project, it identifies circular dependencies, measures coupling, and flags outdated packages for architectural review.

Yes, you can use this to decide between a monolith and microservices. The Skill provides decision workflows and reference matrices specifically for architecture pattern selection, database selection, and evaluating monolith versus microservices trade-offs.

The system architecture analysis scripts require Python along with the mermaid, networkx, requests, jsonschema, pandas, and numpy libraries. These dependencies support specific functionalities like dependency graph analysis, diagram generation, and data processing.

The best way to assess existing architectural patterns and code smells is using the project assessment feature. It analyzes your project structure to detect current architectural patterns, identify code smells, and highlight opportunities for structural improvement.

The dependency analysis works by evaluating the project structure to identify circular dependencies, calculate coupling scores, and detect outdated packages. It leverages Python libraries like networkx and pandas to process and analyze the dependency network.
