Which programming languages does Code Visualizer support?

Currently, the skill is optimized for Python, utilizing its AST parser to accurately extract imports, class definitions, and module relationships.

How does the staleness detection work?

It compares file modification timestamps and Git history against diagram metadata to identify when source code changes have rendered existing architecture diagrams obsolete.

Can I use this for PR reviews?

Yes, you can ask the skill to show the architecture impact of a PR; it will highlight new, modified, or deleted modules and their impact on the overall dependency graph.

What types of diagrams can this skill generate?

It generates Mermaid-based module dependency graphs, class hierarchies, and data flow charts that can be directly embedded in Markdown files.

Does it handle complex multi-level architectures?

While the core skill handles module analysis, it can delegate to a visualization-architect agent for highly complex, multi-level system representations.

Developer Tools

Auto-generates and maintains Python code flow diagrams to ensure architectural documentation stays in sync with implementation.

Code Visualizer is a specialized tool within the Amplihack framework that automates the creation and maintenance of Mermaid-based architecture diagrams. By parsing Python AST to extract module relationships and class hierarchies, it provides real-time visibility into codebase structure. It excels at detecting 'stale' diagrams—where the code has evolved but the documentation hasn't—making it an essential companion for PR reviews and new module development where architectural clarity and dependency management are paramount.
