Architecture pages

Pages about how an application is put together, written by the Architect, with views from the scan until those pages exist

On this page

Architecture pages describe how an application is put together. They live under Architecture on the application’s Handbook tab. A component’s Handbook does not have this category.

Each page can include diagrams and a written explanation. The Architect writes them.

Generate a page

If you can edit the application, Generate with the Architect offers starter pages that don’t exist yet:

  • System context
  • Components
  • Data model
  • Key request flow
  • Deployment

You can also Ask for a diagram in your own words, then click Generate. The Architect writes the page in a new chat. While that’s in progress, the page shows as writing. If the Architect doesn’t finish, the page says so, and you can generate it again. Regenerate with the Architect refreshes a starter page and keeps its earlier versions.

Viewers can read the pages but can’t generate them.

Views from the scan

Until the Architect’s pages cover a topic, Architecture also offers views drawn from the code and records: Context, Components, Use cases, and Domain model.
