It helps teams make disciplined, reproducible architecture decisions when changes touch multiple modules, introduce a new abstraction, or modify a shared contract, ensuring alignment and traceability.
Use the architect skill to frame a design issue before proposing a solution, and surface two alternatives with trade-offs.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To evaluate trade-offs for multi-component architecture decisions, restate the goal and constraints, then surface at least two viable alternatives with a one-line trade-off each. This ensures a structured evaluation before implementation.
Ripple-effect analysis for shared contract modifications assesses the blast radius of a change, including affected files, downstream consumers, reversibility, and migration needs. It ensures alignment and traceability across modules.
Framing architecture goals before proposing a new abstraction requires explicitly restating the goal, constraints, and non-goals. This disciplined approach prevents premature solutions and ensures reproducible decision-making.
You need to document architecture decisions for multi-module changes when introducing a new abstraction, modifying a shared contract, or requiring design alternatives to ensure traceability and alignment across the affected components.
Yes, this approach enforces grounding discipline by requiring you to cite external sources for architectural invariants and surface assumptions with verifiable evidence to ensure disciplined, reproducible decisions.
