What problem does it solve?
Tekton solves the disconnect between human-authored architecture diagrams and the actual system implementation by providing a single, version-controlled YAML model that both humans and agents can read, write, and query.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Shared Architecture Substrate: Maintains a single source of truth across six tiers including system, journey, data, infra, decisions, and qualities.
- Fitness Functions: Automatically validates design rules like no-cycle constraints or layer-ordering via the tekton lint command.
- Interactive Visualization: Generates self-contained, on-brand HTML viewers that support C4-style drill-downs and cross-tier traceability.
Quick Start
Use the tekton skill to render the architecture model defined in your project design file into an interactive HTML viewer.
