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
What PlantUML does
PlantUML is a text-based way to create technical diagrams from plain source files. Teams use it to document systems, show message flows, and keep design diagrams close to the codebase. It is common in software projects where diagrams must stay easy to review and update.
Typical deliverables
- Sequence diagrams for service calls and event flows
- Class and package diagrams for code structure
- Component and deployment diagrams for system views
- C4-style architecture diagrams for shared documentation
- Markdown or wiki pages with embedded diagrams
Ecosystem and workflow
PlantUML works well with Git, editors, and documentation tools. Many teams connect it to VS Code, IntelliJ-based tools, build pipelines, or docs sites so diagrams render automatically from text. Strong specialists keep the diagrams readable, consistent, and easy to maintain over time.
When companies bring in experts
Companies look for PlantUML experts when diagrams have become outdated, hard to read, or scattered across tools. This is common during platform redesigns, API changes, audits, and onboarding work. In Munich, it is often useful for teams that need clean technical documentation across office and remote collaboration.
What strong specialists bring
Good PlantUML professionals think in systems, not just shapes. They know how to model the right level of detail, choose the right diagram type, and keep notation consistent across a project.
- They write clear, reviewable text diagrams
- They understand UML basics and architecture views
- They align diagrams with source code and APIs
- They keep documentation usable for engineers and stakeholders
Signs you need PlantUML support
- Diagrams exist, but no one trusts them anymore
- Documentation is hard to update after changes
- Teams need a shared visual language for architecture
- Tooling should fit a Git-based workflow
- You need someone who can clean up legacy docs and set standards
Frequently asked questions
Curious about PlantUML? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
PlantUML is used to turn text into technical diagrams that explain software design, system behavior, and dependencies. Teams use it for sequence diagrams, class views, deployment layouts, and architecture documentation that stays close to the source of truth.
PlantUML is better when diagrams should live in Git, be code-reviewed, and update with the rest of the project. Draw.io and Lucidchart are useful for manual visual editing, but PlantUML fits teams that want diagrams written as text and managed like documentation.
A strong PlantUML specialist should understand UML basics, system architecture, and good documentation habits. Useful adjacent skills include Git, Markdown, API design, and the ability to translate technical discussions into clear diagrams.
Not always, but the task matters more than the size of the team. If you only need a few standard diagrams, a solid PlantUML professional may be enough; if you need architecture standards, legacy cleanup, or reusable diagram patterns, deeper experience helps.
Yes. PlantUML is a strong fit for remote collaboration because diagrams are text files that can be reviewed in pull requests and shared in documentation. In Munich, many teams also combine remote work with occasional on-site sessions for architecture workshops.
Look for clarity, consistency, and the right level of detail. Good PlantUML output should be easy to read, use the correct diagram type, and match the system it describes instead of adding decoration or unnecessary complexity.
No. PlantUML is often used for UML, but it is also widely used for architecture views, sequence flows, C4-style diagrams, and documentation around APIs or platforms. That flexibility is one reason teams keep it in long-term use.
Freelancers usually start by reviewing existing documentation, code structure, or system sketches, then turn that into a consistent diagram set. In a Munich team, that may include workshops with local stakeholders, followed by remote maintenance inside the repo or docs site.
