Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Zachman Analysis ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when you need to: - Analyze architecture from a specific stakeholder perspective - Ensure complete coverage across different viewpoints - Check which architectural aspects are documented - Understand what questions each perspective asks **Keywords:** zachman, viewpoint, perspective, interrogative, what, how, where, who, when, why, planner, owner, designer, builder ## Zachman Framework 3.0 Overview The Zachman Framework is a **6x6 ontology** for classifying enterprise architecture artifacts. It's a classification schema (taxonomy), not a methodology. **Key insight:** TOGAF tells you *how* to create architecture. Zachman tells you *how to organize* what you create. ## The Matrix ### Columns (Interrogatives) Each column answers a fundamental question: | Column | Interrogative | Focus | Artifacts | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | **What** (Data) | Things of interest | Data models, entity lists | | 2 | **How** (Function) | Processes and transformations | Process flows, use cases | | 3 | **Where** (Network) | Locations and distribution | Network diagrams, site maps | | 4 | **Who** (People) | Roles and responsibilities | Org char

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill zachman-analysis-melodic-software-claude-code-plugins-2 --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
