architecture-md-builder SKILL.md skillA
architecture-md-builder from tdimino/claude-code-minoan is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add tdimino/claude-code-minoan/architecture-md-builder@git:20261019.6849eafPins git:20261019.6849eaf in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Build comprehensive ARCHITECTURE.md files following matklad's canonical guidelines — bird's-eye views, ASCII/Mermaid diagrams, codemaps, invariants, and layer boundaries. Triggers on document the architecture, create ARCHITECTURE.md, map this codebase, architectural overview.
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
# Architecture.md Builder Create production-quality ARCHITECTURE.md files that serve as definitive maps of any codebase, following matklad's canonical guidelines with modern AI-agent documentation patterns. ## When to Use This Skill - Creating architecture documentation for a new or existing repository - Auditing a codebase to understand its structure - Onboarding documentation for developers and AI agents - User asks to "document the architecture", "create architecture.md", or "map this codebase" ## Core Principles (matklad's Guidelines) The canonical ARCHITECTURE.md follows these principles: 1. **Bird's eye overview** - Problem being solved, high-level approach 2. **Coarse-grained codemap** - Modules and relationships (country-level, not state-level) 3. **Named entities** - Important files, types, modules by name (no links, use symbol search) 4. **Architectural invariants** - Constraints, what is NOT done, absence patterns 5. **Layer boundaries** - Transitions between systems 6. **Cross-cutting concerns** - Issues spanning multiple modules See `references/matklad-guidelines.md` for detailed explanations. ## Workflow ### Phase 1: Research Best Practices (Optional) …

How to install
mdr add tdimino/claude-code-minoan/architecture-md-builder@sha256:905762ae8e16900dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261019.6849eaf, 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.
