What is the Architecture Documentation Improvement Loop?

It is a specialized workflow that compares human-validated goal models with automatically generated code models to identify, document, and close architectural gaps.

How does the skill handle relationship parity?

It ensures consistency by construction, generating human-readable relationship tables and machine-usable LikeC4 code blocks simultaneously within the same Markdown source.

Can I use this with the LikeC4 VS Code extension?

Yes, the skill generates standard .c4 DSL files and a likec4.config.json, making it fully compatible with LikeC4 visualization tools.

What happens if my architecture changes?

You can use the 'devac architecture diff' and 'score' commands to identify exactly where the implementation has drifted from the validated documentation.

What are the M1-M4 quality rules?

These are meta-rules for documentation: M1 (Complete Sets), M2 (Generic Before Specific), M3 (State Recognition), and M4 (Handler Recognition).

学習とドキュメンテーション

Validates and maintains human-verified C4 architecture documentation using automated code-graph analysis and drift detection.

The Architecture Validator skill implements a robust documentation improvement loop by helping developers create, refine, and synchronize human-validated C4 models with actual code structure. By leveraging devac MCP tools to query code graphs, it identifies container groupings, key components, and data flows while applying rigorous M1-M4 documentation quality standards. This skill generates dual-format outputs—human-readable Markdown with ASCII diagrams and machine-usable LikeC4 DSL—allowing teams to detect architectural drift, calculate gap scores, and maintain a high-fidelity 'source of truth' for system design.
