What is MethodSketch? ​

MethodSketch is a design tool for practitioners of the IDesign Method. You write the design as text. MethodSketch draws the diagrams. You can iterate faster in System Design and Detailed Design. To learn The Method, read Righting Software or attend an Architect's Master Class.

One use case: call chain, sequence, DTO flow and witness

What does MethodSketch do? ​

With MethodSketch you can:

• Add detail to a design, one step at a time
• Generate your solution and project structure
• Enforce the design with an analyzer

The tool outputs:

• Design artifacts
  • Static Aspect
  • Call Chains
  • Sequence Diagrams
  • DTO Flows
  • Activity Diagrams
  • Flows (BPMN)
  • Statecharts
  • DTO Class Diagrams
  • Service Contracts
  • Data Contracts
  • Dependencies
• Generation script, for PowerShell or sh
• Project plan
• modelanalyzer.json (when using architecture enforcement)

You can connect your own AI agent with MCP. The agent can read and edit your sketches.

How it works explains the ideas behind the tool. The Tutorial takes you through your first design.

To get the full benefit of the tool, attend the Detailed Design Clinic. Or get mentoring from a person who attended the clinic.
