What problem does it solve?

This Skill recovers and updates project architecture documentation when it becomes outdated or is missing, ensuring the codebase and its documentation remain synchronized.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Automated Codebase Analysis: Scans directory structures to identify key components and languages without reading every file.
• Iterative Local Summarization: Analyzes individual directories to generate summaries of purpose, classes, and dependencies.
• Global Synthesis: Consolidates local summaries to update architecture diagrams, component maps, and identify discrepancies.
• Use Case: After a series of rapid code changes, use this skill to automatically regenerate the ARCHITECTURE.md and KNOWN_ISSUES.md files to reflect the current state of the project.
