Where does Cartographer store its documentation?

It primarily updates the ARCHITECTURE.md file and the .agent-docs/architecture/ directory within your repository.

What does the Cartographer skill do?

It maintains 'living' architecture documentation by mapping system entrypoints, components, and interaction flows automatically.

How does it help with large codebases?

It inventories components and tracks how they interact, ensuring that developers always have a reliable map of the system's structure.

Can it identify missing documentation?

Yes, part of its core workflow is recording gaps in architectural knowledge and assigning confidence levels to the existing maps.

Learning & Documentation

Maintains living architecture maps and interaction flows to keep codebase documentation synchronized with implementation.

The Architecture Cartographer skill automates the labor-intensive process of keeping system documentation current. By inventorying entrypoints and components, it generates and updates living maps within ARCHITECTURE.md and specialized documentation directories. It provides developers with a clear visual and structural understanding of how data flows through a system, identifying documentation gaps and providing confidence levels for existing architectural records. This is particularly useful for complex projects where manual diagramming often falls behind rapid development cycles.
