SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Transforms textual proposals and specifications into concrete, implementation-ready architectural designs that guide development and validation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture decision documents including alternatives and rationales
  • Data-flow diagrams and interface contracts that map to code changes
  • Persistence of designs into Cortex under the design topic
  • OpenSpec alignment: uses proposal and spec to ensure design completeness

Quick Start

Generate a complete architecture design for the specified SDD change by reading Cortex artifacts and producing a design document.

Frequently Asked Questions about architect

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn specs into concrete technical designs?

Architecture design generation translates specifications and proposals into implementation-ready technical designs grounded in the actual codebase. It ensures every design includes architecture decisions with rationales, file changes, interfaces, and a robust testing strategy.

What is the Spec-Driven Development pipeline for architecture design?

The Spec-Driven Development pipeline reads Cortex artifacts like proposals and specs to ensure design completeness. It produces architecture decision documents that map data-flow diagrams and interface contracts to actual code changes.

How do I generate an architecture decision document with rationales?

Generate an architecture decision document with rationales by reading Cortex artifacts and producing a design document. This ensures every architectural choice includes alternatives, rationales, and maps interface contracts directly to code changes.

Does architecture design generation require OpenSpec alignment?

Architecture design generation uses OpenSpec alignment by reading proposal and spec artifacts to ensure design completeness. It transforms textual proposals into concrete technical designs that guide development and validation.

Can I persist technical designs into Cortex?

You can persist technical designs into Cortex under the design topic. The architecture design process writes the generated design document back to Cortex, ensuring implementation-ready architecture decisions are stored with the project artifacts.

What is the best way to map data-flow diagrams to code changes?

The best way to map data-flow diagrams to code changes is translating specifications into concrete technical designs. This approach ensures interface contracts and architecture decisions are directly grounded in the actual codebase.
