AI-Generated Architecture Digest

An AI-Generated Architecture Digest is an automated AI-generated software architecture summary document that provides high-level codebase structure overviews through natural language description.

• AKA: AI Architecture Summary, Interactive Architecture Overview, AI-Powered Architecture Report.
• Context:
  • It can typically identify Software Architecture Layers through AI-generated layer identification and AI-generated component mapping.
  • It can typically detect Architecture Pattern Violations through AI-generated pattern analysis and AI-generated violation flagging.
  • It can typically describe Cross-Layer Communication Patterns through AI-generated dependency tracing and AI-generated call flow analysis.
  • It can typically summarize Module Responsibilitys through AI-generated function grouping and AI-generated purpose extraction.
  • It can typically highlight Architecture Anti-Patterns through AI-generated pattern recognition and AI-generated design issue identification.
  • ...
  • It can often include Visual Architecture Representations through AI-generated diagrams and AI-generated component visualization.
  • It can often provide Architecture Evolution History through AI-generated change tracking and AI-generated version comparison.
  • It can often suggest Architecture Improvement Recommendations through AI-generated optimization analysis.
  • It can often generate Architecture Compliance Reports through AI-generated standard checking.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Simple AI-Generated Architecture Digest to being a Comprehensive AI-Generated Architecture Digest, depending on its AI-generated analysis depth.
  • It can range from being a Text-Based AI-Generated Architecture Digest to being a Multi-Modal AI-Generated Architecture Digest, depending on its AI-generated representation format.
  • ...
  • It can be generated by Large-Context AI Development Tools for engineering leadership consumption.
  • It can support Software Architecture Decisions through AI-generated insight provision.
  • It can complement Manual Architecture Documentation with AI-generated automated update.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Hexagonal Architecture AI Digests, such as:
    • Domain Layer AI Summary identifying core business logic components.
    • Port-Adapter AI Mapping showing external integration points.
  • Microservice Architecture AI Digests, such as:
    • Service Boundary AI Analysis revealing service coupling patterns.
    • API Gateway AI Overview documenting service communication flows.
  • Layered Architecture AI Digests, such as:
    • Presentation Layer AI Summary describing UI component organization.
    • Data Access Layer AI Analysis mapping repository pattern implementations.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Manual Architecture Documentation, which requires human analysis and manual documentation effort.
  • Static UML Diagram, which provides visual representation without natural language explanation.
  • Code Metric Report, which offers quantitative measurements without architectural insight.
