How does this help with AI and RAG development?

It includes specific templates for RAG systems and AI pipelines, helping you visualize vector database integrations, embedding flows, and LLM orchestration.

Can it validate my Mermaid diagram syntax?

Yes, it includes a dedicated validation script that checks for syntax errors, invalid node definitions, and broken connections within your markdown files.

What types of architecture patterns are supported?

The skill supports a wide range of patterns including Next.js, FastAPI, Microservices, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems, and generic full-stack architectures.

Can I export my diagrams for use in other tools?

Absolutely. The skill provides an export script that extracts Mermaid code blocks from your documentation and saves them as individual .mmd files for external use.

Learning & Documentation

Generates comprehensive system architecture documentation and interactive Mermaid diagrams for modern software patterns.

About

Architecture Patterns is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to streamline the system design phase of software development. It provides automated tools to scaffold detailed architecture documentation, ranging from RAG systems and microservices to full-stack Next.js applications. By leveraging Mermaid diagramming, the skill allows users to visualize data flows, component relationships, and deployment topologies directly within markdown. It includes built-in syntax validation for diagrams and export capabilities, ensuring that your system design is both professional and technically accurate.
