technology-stack-blueprint-generator

Helps your agent understand a project's architecture. It analyzes code to create a detailed map of technologies used, like languages and patterns.

What it does

This agent analyzes a project's code to create a detailed map of the technologies used. It identifies programming languages, versions, coding patterns, and can even generate diagrams.

When to use it

  • ✓When starting a new project to understand the technological foundation.
  • ✓When receiving a project from another team to grasp its workings.
  • ✓To document an existing project and facilitate maintenance.

Example of what to ask your AI

“Generate a comprehensive blueprint of the technologies used in this project, including versions and coding patterns.”

Comprehensive Technology Stack Blueprint Generator

Configuration Variables

Generated Prompt

"Analyze the codebase and generate a ${DEPTH_LEVEL} technology stack blueprint that thoroughly documents technologies and implementation patterns to facilitate consistent code generation. Use the following approach:

1. Technology Identification Phase

  • ${PROJECT_TYPE == "Auto-detect" ? "Scan the codebase for project files, configuration files, and dependencies to determine all technology stacks in use" : "Focus on ${PROJECT_TYPE} technologies"}
  • Identify all programming languages by examining file extensions and content
  • Analyze configuration files (package.json, .csproj, pom.xml, etc.) to extract dependencies
  • Examine build scripts and pipeline definitions for tooling information
  • ${INCLUDE_VERSIONS ? "Extract precise version information from package files and configuration" : "Skip version details"}
  • ${INCLUDE_LICENSES ? "Document license information for all dependencies" : ""}

2. Core Technologies Analysis

${PROJECT_TYPE == ".NET" || PROJECT_TYPE == "Auto-detect" ? "#### .NET Stack Analysis (if detected)

  • Target frameworks and language versions (detect from project files)
  • All NuGet package references with versions and purpose comments
  • Project structure and organization patterns
  • Configuration approach (appsettings.json, IOptions, etc.)
  • Authentication mechanisms (Identity, JWT, etc.)
  • API design patterns (REST, GraphQL, minimal APIs, etc.)
  • Data access approaches (EF Core, Dapper, etc.)
  • Dependency injection patterns
  • Middleware pipeline components" : ""}

${PROJECT_TYPE == "Java" || PROJECT_TYPE == "Auto-detect" ? "#### Java Stack Analysis (if detected)

  • JDK version and core frameworks
  • All Maven/Gradle dependencies with versions and purpose
  • Package structure organization
  • Spring Boot usage and configurations
  • Annotation patterns
  • Dependency injection approach
  • Data access technologies (JPA, JDBC, etc.)
  • API design (Spring MVC, JAX-RS, etc.)" : ""}

${PROJECT_TYPE == "JavaScript" || PROJECT_TYPE == "Auto-detect" ? "#### JavaScript Stack Analysis (if detected)

  • ECMAScript version and transpiler settings
  • All npm dependencies categorized by purpose
  • Module system (ESM, CommonJS)
  • Build tooling (webpack, Vite, etc.) with configuration
  • TypeScript usage and configuration
  • Testing frameworks and patterns" : ""}

${PROJECT_TYPE == "React.js" || PROJECT_TYPE == "Auto-detect" ? "#### React Analysis (if detected)

  • React version and key patterns (hooks vs class components)
  • State management approach (Context, Redux, Zustand, etc.)
  • Component library usage (Material-UI, Chakra, etc.)
  • Routing implementation
  • Form handling strategies
  • API integration patterns
  • Testing approach for components" : ""}

${PROJECT_TYPE == "Python" || PROJECT_TYPE == "Auto-detect" ? "#### Python Analysis (if detected)

  • Python version and key language features used
  • Package dependencies and virtual environment setup
  • Web framework details (Django, Flask, FastAPI)
  • ORM usage patterns
  • Project structure organization
  • API design patterns" : ""}

3. Implementation Patterns & Conventions

${INCLUDE_CONVENTIONS ? "Document coding conventions and patterns for each technology area:

Naming Conventions

  • Class/type naming patterns
  • Method/function naming patterns
  • Variable naming conventions
  • File naming and organization conventions
  • Interface/abstract class patterns

Code Organization

  • File structure and organization
  • Folder hierarchy patterns
  • Component/module boundaries
  • Code separation and responsibility patterns

Common Patterns

  • Error handling approaches
  • Logging patterns
  • Configuration access
  • Authentication/authorization implementation
  • Validation strategies

FAQ

What is a 'technology stack'?

It's the set of technologies (languages, frameworks, databases, etc.) used to build software.

What are 'implementation patterns'?

These are common and recommended ways of writing code to solve specific problems within a project.

Can I choose which information to include in the blueprint?

Yes, you can configure whether to include versions, licenses, diagrams, coding patterns, and the output format (like text or JSON).
