Software Architect and Developer at Personal project
Recurring problem in my own AI-assisted projects: requirements analysis, use cases, and architecture decisions can be created quickly with AI support, but remain difficult to follow and scattered across Markdown files – knowledge is lost as soon as it is no longer in the context window. arknet turns requirements engineering and architecture knowledge into structured, verifiable data instead of plain text: requirements, use cases, and architecture decisions form a consistently linked knowledge graph, traceable from requirement to architecture decision – queryable by both people and AI agents. Technically based on RDF/OWL and a custom MCP server.
Result: Working MCP daemon, Docker image published automatically to GHCR, nine hexagonal modules, eleven ADRs (including an Open-Core licensing model). Requirements engineering and Ubiquitous Language hexagons are active. Public as a Community Edition under Apache-2.0 since 07/2026 (github.com/kogn-io/arknet), together with the Claude Code plugin and GHCR image; Open-Core model.

About the technology
Diagram Automation
PlantUML is an open-source tool for creating diagrams from plain-text descriptions. It supports UML views such as sequence, class, component, activity, state, deployment and use-case diagrams. Teams can store diagram source beside application code, review changes, and regenerate consistent visuals whenever systems evolve.
Where It Fits
PlantUML is used for software architecture, API documentation, system design and technical specifications. It works well when diagrams must remain close to source code and be updated through normal development workflows.
- Document service interactions and message flows
- Describe domain models and class relationships
- Map deployment nodes, components and dependencies
- Create architecture views for technical stakeholders
Ecosystem And Tooling
Strong specialists work with the PlantUML syntax, UML concepts and rendering options across formats such as SVG, PNG and PDF. They often connect PlantUML with Markdown, AsciiDoc, Confluence, Git repositories and documentation pipelines, using Java-based tooling or editor extensions where appropriate. C4-PlantUML can add a structured approach to software architecture diagrams.
When To Bring In Expertise
Companies usually need freelance expertise when diagrams have become inconsistent, architecture documentation is outdated, or a documentation pipeline must be introduced. A specialist can establish reusable styles, organise diagram sources, convert existing visuals and make generation reliable in CI workflows. This can support product teams, IT departments and engineering organisations in Munich working across German and English documentation.
Quality Signals
Good PlantUML professionals clarify the audience and purpose of each diagram before choosing a diagram type. They keep layouts readable, use meaningful abstractions and avoid reproducing every implementation detail. Their source is modular, version-controlled and easy for other contributors to maintain.
- Select a diagram that answers a defined question
- Keep notation consistent across documentation
- Separate stable architecture from transient detail
- Validate rendered output in the delivery workflow
Collaboration And Delivery
A PlantUML engagement may cover a single architecture workshop, a documentation overhaul or ongoing diagram maintenance. Remote collaboration works well because source files, reviews and rendered outputs can be shared through existing repositories and documentation tools. On-site sessions in Munich can help when specialists need to align several teams, legacy systems or regulated documentation practices.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about PlantUML? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
PlantUML is used to generate UML and software architecture diagrams from plain text. Companies use it for sequence flows, class models, component views, deployment diagrams and technical documentation that needs to stay version-controlled.
PlantUML uses text rather than manual shapes and connectors, so diagrams can be reviewed in source control and regenerated consistently. Graphical tools may be easier for free-form visual work, while PlantUML is often stronger for repeatable software documentation and automated publishing.
A strong PlantUML specialist usually understands UML, software architecture and documentation design. Useful adjacent skills include Git workflows, Markdown or AsciiDoc, CI pipelines, Java tooling, C4 modeling and integrations with documentation systems.
The scope matters more than a fixed amount of experience. A small diagram update may need familiarity with PlantUML syntax, while an architecture documentation programme calls for someone who can model complex systems, define conventions and guide stakeholder reviews.
PlantUML is well suited to remote work because diagram source, reviews and rendered files can be managed in shared repositories. For teams in Munich, remote delivery can be combined with on-site workshops when several groups need to agree on architecture or documentation standards.
Review whether the diagrams answer a clear question and remain readable at their intended size. Check the source for consistent naming, sensible abstraction, maintainable structure and reliable rendering in the team’s documentation workflow.
PlantUML can be extended with libraries and conventions for architecture modeling, including C4-PlantUML. It can also describe network, wireframe, timing and other diagram types, although the chosen notation should match the audience and the decision the diagram supports.
A freelance PlantUML expert can deliver diagram source files, rendered documentation, reusable templates, style guidance and generation scripts. They may also migrate existing diagrams, connect PlantUML to a documentation pipeline and provide conventions for future contributors.
