SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Big-picture architectural planning and exploration for Trails. This skill helps teams reason about features, ADRs, tenets, and horizon planning in a principled, Socratic manner, ensuring alignment before committing to concrete implementations.

Core Features & Use Cases

Socratic questioning to surface underlying goals and constraints.
Work from principles up to articulate decisions, ADRs, and roadmap directions.
Governance-aware guidance that surfaces trade-offs and guardrails for architecture planning.

Quick Start

Start a guided planning conversation by stating your architectural objective and context, and let the agent steer toward principled exploration.

FAQPage Schema

What is Socratic pathfinding for architecture planning?▼

Socratic pathfinding is an approach to architectural planning that uses guided questioning to surface underlying goals, constraints, and principled trade-offs before committing to concrete implementations. It helps teams articulate decisions and roadmap directions systematically.

How do I map the decision space for an architectural initiative?▼

To map the decision space, you state your architectural objective and context. The agent then applies a pathfinding approach to identify goals, constraints, and trade-offs, ensuring governance and guardrails are respected throughout the exploration process.

Can I use this for writing architecture decision records and tenets?▼

Yes, you can use this approach to work from principles up to articulate architecture decision records (ADRs) and tenets. It ensures alignment on features and horizon planning across contexts before any concrete implementation begins.

Does architecture pathfinding work with existing governance and guardrails?▼

Architecture pathfinding is governance-aware by design. It surfaces principled trade-offs and ensures that existing guardrails and safety principles are respected while exploring features, ADRs, and roadmap directions.

What's the best way to start a guided architecture planning conversation?▼

The best way to start is by stating your architectural objective and context. This initiates a Socratic dialogue where the agent steers toward principled exploration, helping you reason about features, tenets, and horizon planning.
