## What it is
ArcKit is an AI governance harness and plugin toolkit for enterprise architects that works with AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, and GitHub Copilot. It generates template-driven, traceable, audit-ready architecture artifacts — requirements, risk registers, ADRs, business cases, diagrams, and design reviews — with jurisdiction-specific compliance overlays (UK Government, EU, USA, UAE, NHS, and more).

## Use cases
- generate architecture decision records with AI
- create requirements documents with traceability
- run stakeholder and risk analysis for a project
- produce HM Treasury Green Book business cases
- govern AI coding assistant outputs for audit compliance
- create Wardley maps and Mermaid architecture diagrams
- manage vendor RFP and procurement processes
- apply UK Government or EU compliance overlays to architecture work

## When to choose
- you are an enterprise or government architect using AI coding assistants and need governed, traceable artifacts
- you need compliance with UK GDS, TCoP, HM Treasury, GDPR, AI Act, or similar frameworks
- you want structured architecture workflows from discovery through live delivery
- you need audit-ready documentation with provenance stamping

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose diagramming or EA modeling tool without AI assistance
- your organization does not use AI coding assistants like Claude Code or Gemini CLI
- you need legally binding compliance certification rather than draft artifacts for human review
- you work outside the supported jurisdictions and sector overlays
