SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Architecture decisions are often made without explicit constraints or ADR alignment, which can lead to boundary violations and missed governance. This Skill runs a preflight before planning to validate boundaries, standards, and ADR requirements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Boundary compliance analysis against architecture contracts and defined boundaries.
  • ADR alignment verification and repository scope validation.
  • Output a structured Architecture Preflight Report with recommended next steps for ADR decisions and feature planning.

Quick Start

Execute an architecture preflight pass for the designated feature to obtain guidance on boundaries and required ADRs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check for architecture boundary violations before feature planning?

To check architecture boundary violations before feature planning, you run a preflight analysis against your repository scope and architectural standards to detect boundary risks and generate an Architecture Preflight Report with actionable ADR recommendations.

What is an architecture preflight report and how does it support ADR readiness?

An architecture preflight report is a structured output that identifies boundary compliance risks, validates repository scope, and provides ADR recommendations to ensure architecture decisions are explicitly constrained and governance requirements are met before planning begins.

How do I align feature scope with existing architecture boundaries and ADRs?

To align feature scope with architecture boundaries and ADRs, analyze the feature requirements against defined architectural contracts to detect boundary risks, verify repository scope, and output required interface definitions and ADR alignment steps for the feature team.

Can I use architecture preflight to enforce governance and gatekeeping during software engineering?

Yes, you can use architecture preflight to enforce governance and gatekeeping by running a boundary compliance analysis against your architectural standards prior to planning, ensuring no feature proceeds without explicit ADR alignment and boundary validation.

When do I need to run an architecture boundary analysis and ADR verification?

You need to run architecture boundary analysis and ADR verification when preparing for feature planning, specifically to detect boundary risks, validate required interfaces, and ensure your architectural decisions are aligned with governance standards before development starts.
