SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires dependency_analyzer, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Senior software architecture workflows and tooling help teams define, document, and maintain scalable, reliable system designs, bridging the gap between ideas and architecture artifacts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture documentation: templates and artifacts for architecture decisions, ADRs, diagrams, and boundary definitions.
  • Dependency & stack analysis: quick assessment of tech stack signals and dependencies to guide design choices.
  • Guided design workflow: step-by-step workflow from problem framing to rollout, with practical checklists.

Quick Start

Run the bootstrap script to generate architecture documentation templates for your project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate architecture decision records for system design?

You can generate architecture decision records by running the bootstrap script to instantiate ADR starter templates, which structure your tech decisions, context, and consequences for stakeholder alignment.

What is the best way to document scalable software architecture across teams?

Documenting scalable software architecture requires structured outputs like ADRs, architecture diagrams, and boundary definitions. This Skill provides a guided design workflow from problem framing to rollout, ensuring teams maintain reliable system designs during documentation refresh cycles.

Can I assess tech stack dependencies before making architecture decisions?

Yes, you can assess tech stack dependencies using the built-in dependency analyzer component. It performs quick dependency and stack analysis to evaluate tech signals, guiding your architecture choices and technology selection during system design.

Does this architecture documentation workflow include diagram generation?

Yes, the architecture documentation workflow includes optional diagram generation. It defines and communicates scalable software architectures by producing architecture diagrams and governance artifacts alongside your ADRs during feature or system design.

How do I conduct an architecture review for stakeholder alignment?

Conduct an architecture review by applying the guided design workflow, which provides practical checklists from problem framing to rollout. It enforces structured outputs and governance artifacts to ensure tech decisions achieve stakeholder alignment.
