What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates fragmented planning and undocumented technical decisions by producing a single, engine-aware master architecture document that maps design requirements to concrete implementation plans and ADR needs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Technical requirements extraction: Reads all approved GDDs and the systems index to build a numbered requirements baseline.
- Engine-aware validation: Loads engine reference docs to flag post-cutoff breaking changes, deprecated APIs, and HIGH/MEDIUM risk domains.
- Architecture authoring & ADR traceability: Maps systems into layers, defines module ownership, data flows, API boundaries, audits existing ADRs, and lists required new ADRs.
- Collaborative gating: Supports configurable review modes and coordinates Technical Director sign-off and Lead Programmer feasibility checks.
- Use Case: Use this Skill before sprint planning to ensure every GDD requirement has an architectural decision and required ADRs are identified.
Quick Start
Run the create-architecture skill in full review mode to generate the master architecture document from existing GDDs, ADRs, and engine references.
