To generate architecture diagrams, the Skill creates visual representations of components, layers, services, and dependencies using Mermaid, PlantUML, and ASCII formats. It helps you visualize system structures to improve maintainability and performance evaluation.

Detecting circular dependencies and analyzing code coupling is done by the Dependency Analyzer, which evaluates your codebase to flag outdated packages and version mismatches across languages. This highlights structural issues affecting your project's scalability.

Documenting architecture decisions is best achieved by creating Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). The Skill guides decision workflows for database selection and architectural patterns, ensuring your scalability and structural choices are formally recorded.

Evaluating monoliths versus microservices is supported by the Project Architect component. It assesses your code organization, detects existing architectural patterns and code smells, and suggests refactoring to improve scalability and maintainability.

System architecture analysis improves maintainability by evaluating code organization, identifying architectural patterns, and detecting code smells. This process highlights dependencies and suggests refactoring strategies to ensure your software remains scalable and performant.
