ARCHITECTURE.md Writer
Write architecture docs that give contributors a fast mental model of system shape, starting points, and non-negotiable constraints. Prefer stable structure over implementation trivia, and prefer editing existing ARCHITECTURE.md files over creating new ones unless the scope is wrong.
Workflow
- Determine scope and document topology.
- Inspect whether the task is for the repo root, a subsystem, or both.
- Treat the root
ARCHITECTURE.mdas the system map, not the full encyclopedia. - Add nested
ARCHITECTURE.mdfiles only when a subtree has enough independent structure, lifecycle, or constraints to justify its own page. - When adding a nested doc, update the parent doc to link to it and explain its scope in one line.
- When deciding whether to split, merge, add, or remove architecture documents, read guides/document-topology.md before changing the document topology.
