bf-architecture skillB
bf-architecture is agent-read markdown (skill) from chan4lk/specclaw: Produce a C4-model architecture view (L1 System Context → L2 Containers → L3 Components → L4 Code, L4 only where warranted) of an existing/legacy codebase, with a Mermaid flowchart plus grounded prose per level, written to `.specclaw/analysis/architecture.md`. Works on any language or stack — Node, .NET, Java, Go, Rust, Python, Delphi/Object Pascal, or none of the above. Read-only: no TTY or credential prompts, no lifecycle gate. Use when you need a visual map of how a codebase's pieces connect .
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# specclaw bf-architecture **First, run** `specclaw-ensure-init .specclaw` — idempotently creates `.specclaw/` if it doesn't exist (silent if already initialized; auto-inits using the current directory's basename as the project name). Analyze an existing codebase's architecture and write `.specclaw/analysis/architecture.md`. Read-only side-command — no `specclaw-validate-change` call, no `<change>` involved, matching the `analyze`/`patterns`/`status` pattern. 1. **Resolve and collect:** ```bash mkdir -p .specclaw/analysis/.collect specclaw-bf-analyze-codebase collect .specclaw [path] > .specclaw/analysis/.collect/architecture.json ``` `[path]` defaults to the repository root when omitted. The script itself validates that `[path]` exists, resolves inside the repository, and is not `.specclaw` itself or nested inside it, and now also emits a `dependency_graph` field alongside its existing fields. **Check the exit status before spawning.** If it exits non-zero, surface its stderr message to the user verbatim and stop — don't retry, don't guess a different path, and never hand the agent a path to a half-written file. This validation already lives inside `collect`; do …

How to install
mdr add chan4lk/specclaw/bf-architecture@git:20260920.62cf3f0mdr add chan4lk/specclaw/bf-architecture@sha256:6e6ecf08478b12fdPin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
