SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Decide where AI capabilities belong in the layered architecture, ensuring clear ownership and boundaries across AI Engine, AI Apps, and AI Teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Guidance on placing capabilities (engine vs apps) according to architecture standards.
  • Handoff rules to specialized skills (ai-teams-expert, ai-service-expert) when needed.
  • Concrete examples for common architectural decisions and governance.

Quick Start

Ask the system to determine the correct layer for a given AI capability in your current architecture.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decide where to place AI capabilities in a layered architecture?

Layering AI capabilities requires defining strict boundaries between the AI Engine and AI Apps to ensure clear ownership. This approach enforces architectural standards by guiding capability placement and cross-team handoffs.

What are handoff rules in AI architecture and when do I need them?

AI architecture handoff rules are boundary definitions that trigger delegation to specialized skills like ai-teams-expert or ai-service-expert. You need them during cross-team collaboration when a capability exceeds the current architectural layer's scope.

Can I use this to enforce AI governance across multiple teams?

Yes, you can enforce AI governance across multiple teams by applying these layering standards. It guides architecture decisions for cross-team collaboration scenarios by defining boundaries and explicitly excluding specific team implementation details.

What is the difference between AI Engine and AI Apps layers?

The difference between AI Engine and AI Apps layers is functional ownership: the engine layer provides core capabilities while the apps layer implements specific applications. Architecture standards define this boundary to prevent capability overlap.

Does this architecture layering approach include implementation details for specific teams?

No, this architecture layering approach explicitly excludes implementation details for specific teams. It focuses solely on capability placement decisions, boundary definitions, and governance rules across the AI Engine and AI Apps layers.
