architect-4r SKILL.md skillA

architect-4r from ontology-of-everything/semanticskills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add ontology-of-everything/semanticskills/architect-4r@v0.1.0

Pins v0.1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use Li Yunhua's 4R method to summarize a system model from discussion context or source code and produce architecture documentation with diagrams and text.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 4R Architecture

## Core understanding

4R is a logical framework for explaining a system clearly: at a defined level of observation, describe what the system consists of, how its parts relate, and how they work together to achieve a goal.

The same system can have different views. Each view addresses a set of concerns, and key scenarios connect the views. This carries forward the 4+1 view model's idea of describing a system from multiple perspectives and checking it through scenarios.

## Four dimensions

### Rank: the level of observation

Rank defines the scope and granularity of the discussion, such as an enterprise, system, service, module, or code.

The same object may be a single role in an overall diagram and, when expanded, a system containing several roles. Rank determines which details belong in the current view and which belong at the next level.

### Role: what the system consists of

Roles are the key parts at the current level, represented by nodes in a structure diagram.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ontology-of-everything/semanticskills/architect-4r@sha256:0577d32de9282aad

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
