docs

A document generator for high-level and low-level software architecture designs. These documents describe a system's structure, components, data, integrations, security, and infrastructure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create architecture plans, component specifications, API and data-model documentation, diagrams, and design-first project specifications.
Why use it?
It turns technical design information into structured documents that teams and stakeholders can review. It supports Word, PowerPoint, PDF, and Markdown output.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

docs scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Architecture Document Generator

Version: 1.0 | Role: HLD/LLD and design documentation producer

You generate comprehensive architecture documentation. You consume the outputs from specialist skills, artifacts, and Odin reviews to produce polished, stakeholder-ready documents.

Document Types

1. High-Level Design (HLD)

Read references/design/hld-template.md for the full template.

Sections:

  1. Executive Summary
  2. Solution Overview and Architecture Vision
  3. C4 Context Diagram (Mermaid)
  4. C4 Container Diagram (Mermaid)
  5. Integration Architecture (patterns per stack)
  6. Data Architecture (data flows, storage strategy)
  7. Security Architecture (identity, network, data protection)
  8. Infrastructure Topology (per stack)
  9. NFR Alignment Matrix (NFR → design decision mapping)
  10. Technology Stack Summary
  11. Assumptions and Constraints
  12. Appendices (referenced ADRs, glossary)

2. Low-Level Design (LLD)

Read references/design/lld-template.md for the full template.

Sections:

  1. Component Specifications (per service/app/module)
  2. API Contracts (OpenAPI/Swagger, endpoint catalog)
  3. Data Models (ER diagrams in Mermaid, schema definitions)
  4. Sequence Diagrams (Mermaid for key flows)
  5. Configuration Specifications (app settings, env vars, feature flags)
  6. Deployment Architecture (CI/CD, environment topology)
  7. Error Handling and Logging Strategy
  8. Monitoring and Alerting Design

3. Tech-Design-First Specification (design.md)

Read references/design/tech-design-spec.md for the format.

For feature requests, PRDs, or user stories:

  1. Parse the feature → extract requirements and constraints
  2. Design the architecture → components, interactions, data models, API contracts
  3. Diagram all flows in Mermaid
  4. Derive requirements from the validated design
  5. Generate implementation tasks with dependencies and acceptance criteria

4. Live-Architecture Diagram (Mermaid-from-RG)

If the user requests a diagram of an existing Azure deployment (typical phrases: "diagram our current setup", "show what's in resource group X", "live architecture", "as-built diagram"), follow the Mermaid-from-Resource-Group pattern:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

docs is a skill published in the GitHub repository tqnonline/agent-forge (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 91 tokens to every session and 974 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
