Analyze Architecture (Brownfield)

Purpose

Perform comprehensive, production-ready architecture analysis of existing codebases. Designed for brownfield projects where formal architecture documentation may not exist. Discovers structure, identifies patterns, assesses quality across 8 dimensions, and provides actionable recommendations.

Core Principles:

• Discovery-first: Understand what exists before judging
• Pattern recognition: Identify architectural patterns in use
• Multi-dimensional: Quality assessment across 8 key areas
• Actionable insights: Prioritized recommendations with effort estimates
• Production focus: Calculate readiness for production deployment
• Brownfield-optimized: Works without existing documentation
