What problem does it solve?
Provides a disciplined, phase-based workflow to design, evaluate, and document system architectures when requirements are incomplete or need consolidation, reducing ambiguity and guiding trade-off decisions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Phase-driven design workflow: Registers and coordinates Phase 0 through Phase 3 tasks for prerequisite checks, parallel investigations, design proposals, and plan.md generation.
- Three-perspective investigation: Simultaneously analyzes structure, constraints, and quality gaps to produce MECE-aligned findings that inform safe and minimal-change designs.
- Plan generation and validation: Produces a plan.md from templates and runs automated quality checks against writing guidance to ensure measurable success criteria and implementation-ready phases.
- Use Case: Use this agent to evaluate and produce a phased redesign plan for an authentication subsystem, including constraints, component changes, risks, and estimated implementation phases.
Quick Start
Ask the architect agent to analyze the target system and produce a draft plan.md that includes background, phased implementation steps, trade-offs, and measurable success criteria.
