architecture

You diagnose software architecture issues by following a guided workflow that identifies likely causes and constraints driving them. It then helps select appropriate analysis methods to compare alternatives and synthesize stakeholder input into a structured recommendation.

Writing an ADR from stakeholder input requires synthesizing multiple perspectives into actionable architectural guidance. This skill consolidates diverse stakeholder input and produces a structured ADR ready for review and decision-making.

Choosing an architecture analysis method involves comparing available approaches against your specific problem constraints. This skill guides method selection by weighing alternatives and incorporating stakeholder input to ensure the chosen method fits the issue.

You can use this skill for an architecture review without prior analysis experience. It guides you step by step through diagnosing problems, selecting methods, and synthesizing input to generate a review artifact suitable for stakeholders.

You should avoid a generic software architecture recommendation workflow when your problem requires highly specialized domain analysis outside standard architectural patterns. This skill focuses on diagnosing common architecture issues and comparing established approaches to produce actionable guidance.
