SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams understand and navigate complex design documentation by automatically discovering and visualizing relationships between design documents, dependencies, and cross-module references.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Build cross-reference graphs to reveal orphaned docs, circular dependencies, and cross-module connections.
  • Generate output in Mermaid diagrams, text reports, or JSON for tooling integration.
  • Use to improve documentation structure, planning, and knowledge transfer across repositories.

Quick Start

Run /design-link to generate and visualize the full design-document cross-reference graph.

Frequently Asked Questions about design-link

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I visualize relationships and dependencies between design documents?▼

Visualize design document relationships by running /design-link to automatically cross-reference frontmatter and content, building a graph that maps dependencies and structure. It outputs Mermaid diagrams, text reports, or JSON to reveal connections across modules.

What is the best way to find orphaned documentation files in a multi-module repository?▼

Find orphaned documentation by cross-referencing design documents to detect unlinked files. The skill constructs a graph from frontmatter and content to identify orphan docs, circular dependencies, and cross-module patterns, outputting reports for structural improvements.

How do I detect circular dependencies in technical documentation?▼

Detect circular dependencies in technical documentation by cross-referencing design docs to classify edges by type. The skill applies graph construction to frontmatter and content, identifying circular module references and outputting visual maps or JSON reports.

Can I export design document cross-reference graphs as JSON for tooling integration?▼

Export design document cross-reference graphs as JSON for tooling integration. The skill builds cross-reference graphs from frontmatter and content, classifying edges by type, and generates outputs in Mermaid diagrams, text reports, and JSON formats.

Does this documentation visualization tool require any external dependencies to run?▼

This documentation visualization tool requires no external dependencies to run. It builds cross-reference graphs directly from existing frontmatter and content to map dependencies, detect orphans, and output visual diagrams.

What output formats are supported for design doc cross-reference graphs?▼

Supported output formats for design doc cross-reference graphs include Mermaid diagrams, text reports, and JSON. These formats map cross-module patterns, orphan detection, and circular dependencies for tooling integration and structural planning.
