Show HN: Tecture – A navigable architecture map from your coding agent

Category: devtools

Tags: architecture, documentation, ai-agent, developer-tools, visualization

Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 6, Documentation: 6, Utility: 6)

Tecture generates and maintains architecture documentation as structured JSON and Markdown, designed for AI coding agents to keep in sync with code changes. It offers a navigable multi-level map (system context, containers, components) with a VS Code extension and standalone viewer, differentiating itself by being agent-authored and version-controlled within the repo. This approach addresses the common problem of stale architecture docs, though it heavily relies on AI agent capabilities.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, software architects
