Architecture Review

To generate an Architecture Decision Record, provide the task description, design details, and relevant files. The review evaluates pattern compliance and quality attributes, producing an ADR draft with alternatives, trade-offs, and required changes.

Architecture design review is a systematic, read-only analysis that validates proposals against established patterns and coding conventions. It identifies coupling issues, security boundaries, and other architectural risks while assessing maintainability, testability, extensibility, performance, and security.

Yes, design review applies to evaluating microservice architecture and codebase extensions. It checks proposed designs against known architectural patterns and Vetinari's conventions, returning a compliance verdict, required changes, and drafted ADRs for approved designs.

The best way to document architectural trade-offs is through automated ADR generation during the design review process. It produces detailed Architecture Decision Records that explicitly document alternatives and trade-offs alongside the compliance verdict for approved designs.

Quality attributes are optional input parameters for the architecture quality assessment. Providing them allows the review to specifically evaluate maintainability, testability, extensibility, performance, and security against your desired targets, but the review can proceed without them.
