SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Backend codebases often lack consistent architecture documentation, leading to misaligned designs and onboarding delays.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates a centralized architecture standards document (docs/architecture/backend.md) from the codebase.
  • Analyzes service structure, routing, data access, and module boundaries to produce a reference doc.
  • Use Case: When starting a new backend project, run this to establish a conventional architecture baseline.

Quick Start

Run the scan-backend skill on your project to generate docs/architecture/backend.md.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate backend architecture documentation from an existing codebase?▼

You can generate backend architecture documentation by scanning your codebase to analyze service structure, routing, data access, and module boundaries, which produces a centralized reference document outlining conventions and patterns.

When do I need to update my backend architecture docs?▼

You need to update backend architecture docs during initial project setup to establish a baseline and after major refactors to ensure the documentation stays aligned with the actual code structure and conventions.

What is the best way to establish architecture standards for a new backend project?▼

The best way to establish architecture standards is to scan the initial backend codebase to auto-generate a conventional architecture baseline document that maps out module boundaries and service structure.

Can I auto-generate a centralized document for backend service structure and routing?▼

Yes, you can auto-generate a centralized document by analyzing backend service structure, routing, and data access patterns, outputting a standard markdown file that serves as an architecture reference.

Does this approach work for keeping documentation aligned after major codebase refactoring?▼

Yes, this approach works for keeping documentation aligned after major codebase refactoring by re-scanning the updated code structure to regenerate the architecture document with current patterns and conventions.
