architecture-docs SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

architecture-docs from stempeck/agentfactory is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add stempeck/agentfactory/architecture-docs@v1.1.0

Pins v1.1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Generate or refresh `/docs/architecture/` — the current-state source of architectural truth for this codebase, grounded in code and git history (NOT in .designs/). Produces an anchor-dense corpus (`invariants.md`, `idioms.md`, `trust-boundaries.md`, `seams.md`, `subsystems/*.md`, `history.md`, `gaps.md`) plus a high-level overview layer (C4 L1/L2 diagrams, sequence flows, Nygard ADRs). Every claim is anchored to a file:line or commit SHA, or labelled literally `"unknown — needs review"`. A…

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 Docs Skill

## Trigger

- `/architecture-docs` — full regeneration.
- `/architecture-docs <subsystem>` — refresh a single subsystem file; skips
  Phases 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9.
- `/architecture-docs --verify-idempotent` — run the skill twice on an
  unchanged tree and `git diff --stat docs/architecture/`. Non-empty diff =
  the skill is not idempotent and produced non-deterministic output.

## Purpose

Produce a regenerable, citation-anchored set of architecture documents
under `/docs/architecture/` that capture **what the system is and why**,
grounded in code and git history — not in `.designs/` (design documents
can be wrong and have been wrong). Future designs and reviews use these
docs as the truth source for "how does this codebase already handle this
concern?" so an author cannot propose a fix that diverges from an
established idiom without naming the divergence and justifying it.

## Why this skill exists (read before running)

Design reviews routinely fail in a specific way: an author synthesizes
an "options considered" section from the problem statement without first
checking whether the codebase already has a canonical idiom for the
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add stempeck/agentfactory/architecture-docs@sha256:b4cec6abd6eb295c

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
