Refresh Architectural Context

VerifiedSafe

Loads and provides architectural context for the PSX Memory Card Manager project by reading architecture.md and architecture.puml files. Use this skill at the start of a new session or when you need to understand MVVM structure, dependencies, and data flow before making code changes.

Automated summary

Loads the architectural context of the PSX Memory Card Manager project by reading architecture.md and architecture.puml files.

Strengths

  • Automates reading key files for understanding architecture
  • Jump-starts a new session with full context
  • Ensures decision consistency by recalling MVVM principles and dependencies

Limitations

  • Only works if architecture.md and architecture.puml exist
  • Specific to the PSX Memory Card Manager project
When to use it

Use this skill at the start of a new session or before making changes that impact multiple components.

When not to use it

Do not use if you are already familiar with the architecture or working on a very localized change that does not need global context.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score90/100

The skill only uses the read_file tool to load documentation files. It does not execute any shell commands, network requests, or modify files. There is no risk of data exfiltration or system damage.

How this analysis is made

Examples

Initialize session with architecture context
I'm starting a new session on the PSX Memory Card Manager project. Please load the architectural context.
Understand component relationships
Before I modify the ViewModel layer, can you load the architecture files so I understand the dependencies?
Debug cross-layer issue
I'm debugging an issue that spans UI and domain layers. Refresh my context about the project architecture.

Refresh Context Skill

This skill loads the architectural context for the PSX Memory Card Manager project by reading key documentation files.

When to use this skill

  • At the start of a new session to understand project architecture
  • When making changes that affect multiple components
  • When architectural context is needed for implementing new features
  • When debugging issues that span multiple layers (UI, ViewModel, Domain)

What this skill does

Reads and provides context from:

  1. architecture.md - Detailed component structure, MVVM patterns, and responsibilities
  2. architecture.puml - Visual C4 model diagrams showing system boundaries and data flow

Instructions

Step 1: Read architecture documentation

Load the main architecture documentation to understand:

  • MVVM pattern implementation
  • Component responsibilities and boundaries
  • Dependency injection structure
  • Layer separation (UI, ViewModel, Domain)
# Read the architecture documentation
read_file('architecture.md', 1, 300)

Step 2: Load visual architecture model

Read the PlantUML C4 model to understand:

  • System container boundaries
  • Component relationships and data flow
  • Dependency directions between layers
# Read the PlantUML C4 model
read_file('architecture.puml', 1, 100)  

Key architectural concepts to remember

After reading the files, keep these principles in mind:

  • MVVM Pattern: Views render UI, ViewModels manage state, Domain handles business logic
  • Dependency Injection: Use uber/dig container in internal/dig/container.go
  • Layer Separation: UI (internal/ui/) ↔ ViewModel ↔ Domain (internal/memcard/)
  • Data Binding: ViewModels use bindings/events, never manipulate widgets directly

Expected outcome

After running this skill, you should have context about:

  • Main application components (ManagerWindowView, BlocksContainer, etc.)
  • Memory card domain concepts (MemoryCard, Block, Icon)
  • How data flows between UI and business logic
  • Project structure and file organization

From the file to a first result

The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.

View the source and supporting files

This download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.

1. Download the file

Download SKILL.md

From the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/refresh-architectural-context-mmio71qv/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.

Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.

mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/refresh-architectural-context-mmio71qv' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/refresh-architectural-context-mmio71qv/download' --output '.skill-downloads/refresh-architectural-context-mmio71qv/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/refresh-architectural-context-mmio71qv/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/refresh-architectural-context-mmio71qv/SKILL.md'

2. Check prerequisites

Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

Tools declared by the author (check availability in your agent): read_file

No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.

3. Load the skill

After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

Claude Code
test -f '.skill-downloads/refresh-architectural-context-mmio71qv/SKILL.md' && test -s '.skill-downloads/refresh-architectural-context-mmio71qv/SKILL.md' && mkdir -p '.claude/skills' && test ! -e '.claude/skills/refresh-context' && cp -R '.skill-downloads/refresh-architectural-context-mmio71qv' '.claude/skills/refresh-context'

OpenSkills

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

Official OpenSkills installation
openskills install './.skill-downloads/refresh-architectural-context-mmio71qv'

openskills read 'refresh-architectural-context-mmio71qv'

Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.

openskills sync

Manual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.

4. Try a first task

Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:

Read .skill-downloads/refresh-architectural-context-mmio71qv/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.

Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
