What problem does it solve?
It resolves the common failure mode where Claude Code drafts code without a durable, reviewable architecture record tied to the user’s product requirements and UX, leading to misalignment and churn.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Architecture-first technical design: Converts PRD and UX into concrete architecture decisions with explicit trade-offs and implementation guidance.
- Deterministic activation pipeline: Resolves an agent block from layered TOML files, runs configured activation steps, and loads persistent facts and config for consistent behavior.
- Decision-oriented menu dispatch: Presents a bounded set of architecture-related capabilities and dispatches the best-fit workflow with minimal friction, prompting only when needed.
Quick Start
Invoke bmad-agent-architect when you need to talk to Winston for system architecture guidance by saying: "Winston, architect the solution for this PRD and UX, and document the technical decisions so implementation stays on track."
