schematic

Capability: schematic

Use it when

  • A feature branch has shipped or is in progress with no design doc, and you need a structured spec covering requirements, architecture, and risks after the fact
  • You are onboarding to someone else's feature branch and need to understand what it does at the product and architecture level, or need a PR description written from the code

What it solves

Not the fit when

  • whole-repo architecture mapping (it is scoped to a branch's diff)
  • keeping documentation continuously updated
  • mapping an entire unfamiliar repository
  • enforcing docs stay in sync with future changes
  • generating user-facing product documentation

Install

git clone https://github.com/blader/schematic.git ~/.claude/skills/schematic (Claude Code) or ~/.codex/skills/schematic (Codex), then restart the agent

Invoke

In Claude Code or Codex ask: "Reverse engineer a spec from this branch" or "Document what this branch does"
