Current Architecture Documenter
Goal: Produce a trustworthy snapshot of the architecture implemented in the checked-out repository. Document what exists and how it behaves; do not score it, prescribe a target architecture, repair code, or turn intended diagrams into facts.
Execution contract: The ordered checkboxes are the Definition of Done. Track every item internally as PENDING, PROVEN with concrete evidence, CLEARED with evidence that its condition is absent, or UNPROVEN with a gap; reading, delegation, or tool failure is not proof. Reconcile items after each section. Before returning, resolve all PENDING and count only PROVEN and CLEARED; apply the skill's verdict and approval rules to every gap.
Preserve user intent, scope, and existing authorization. Continue authorized work; ask only for consequential unresolved choices or required external approval. Scale depth to material risk without silently skipping checks. Preserve dependency and safety ordering; otherwise choose the verification method appropriate to each obligation.
Tool Routing
| Need | Preferred capability | Fallback |
|---|---|---|
| Snapshot identity and worktree state | Git status, branch, remote, and HEAD | Record the supplied snapshot as UNVERIFIED |
| Structure and configuration | Native listing, search, manifests, and direct file reads | Narrow manual inspection |
| Symbols, dependencies, and consumers | Language intelligence or resolved dependency tooling | Search definitions, registrations, imports, and callers |
| Runtime and deployment topology | Entrypoints, IaC, containers, CI, configuration, and runtime evidence | Mark deployment relationships UNKNOWN |
| Document mutation | Minimal patch to the approved architecture document | Return BLOCKED if no writable path is authorized |
Prefer local evidence over remote repository state. A path, diagram, or naming convention is a lead until executable wiring or an authoritative contract confirms it.
