What this skill does
Repository Metadata Generate structured catalog-info.yaml metadata for repositories using industry-standard conventions (based on Backstage catalog format). This metadata enables cross-repository architecture analysis and service catalog functionality. Purpose Create and maintain catalog-info.yaml files that describe a repository's role in the broader architecture. This metadata feeds into architectural views, dependency graphs, and service groupings across the entire organization. When to Use Trigger this skill when: User asks to "generate repo metadata" or "create catalog-info.yaml" User wants to document a repository for a service catalog User needs to prepare a repository for cross-repo architecture analysis User mentions "service catalog" or "component metadata" Metadata Schema The catalog-info.yaml file follows Backstage conventions with Astrabit-specific extensions: Generation Workflow Phase 1: Analyze Repository Gather information about the repository: 1. Use existing analysis scripts: 2. Read existing documentation: Check for INTEGRATIONS.md - contains upstream/downstream relationships Check for ARCHITECTURE.md - contains service role and dependencies Check for README.md - contains basic description and tech stack 3. …
