SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that code changes and new service additions align with established architectural patterns, maintain system integrity, and adhere to best practices for scalable and maintainable software.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architectural Review: Analyzes code modifications for compliance with system architecture and design principles.
  • Pattern Compliance: Verifies adherence to architectural patterns, SOLID principles, and microservice boundaries.
  • Use Case: When a new microservice is introduced, this Skill can be used to assess its integration points, communication patterns, and overall fit within the existing system architecture.

Quick Start

Use the architecture-strategist agent to review recent code changes for architectural compliance.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review code changes for architectural compliance?

Architectural review verifies code modifications against established patterns, component dependencies, and SOLID principles. It checks new service additions and structural refactors to maintain system scalability and design integrity across the codebase.

What does pattern compliance check in microservice boundaries?

Pattern compliance in microservice boundaries verifies API contract stability, communication patterns, and abstraction levels. It ensures new services integrate correctly without violating established architectural constraints or compromising system maintainability.

How do I validate microservice integration points for new service additions?

Validating microservice integration points involves assessing communication patterns and API contract stability against existing system architecture. This evaluation ensures new services fit within established boundaries and maintain overall structural scalability.

Can I use architectural review for refactoring existing system design?

Yes, architectural review evaluates structural refactors against established architectural documentation and design principles. It verifies abstraction levels and pattern compliance to ensure the refactoring maintains system integrity and scalability.

When do I need to verify API contract stability during code review?

You need to verify API contract stability during code review when adding new microservices or modifying structural components. This verification ensures microservice boundaries remain intact and system integration points maintain design integrity.

What are the limitations of automated architectural review for design patterns?

Automated architectural review focuses on pattern compliance, SOLID principles, and component dependencies but requires established architectural documentation for baseline comparison. It cannot evaluate subjective design decisions or business logic alignment without explicit structural rules.
