evaluate-against-architecture-principles

Evaluate designs by systematically checking them across all nine architecture principle categories using structured assessment. Extract full context with citation-manager first, then assess compliance and violations in each category to ground your solution in documented principles.

Run evaluation before creating any design, requirements, or implementation artifacts, and during reviews of existing work. Early evaluation prevents principle violations from propagating through later stages and catches issues when they're cheaper to fix.

Citation-manager extraction pulls full context and links from your documents before evaluation, ensuring you assess designs against principles with complete referenced information. This mandatory step prevents incomplete or context-stripped reviews.

Structured output documenting compliant and violating aspects creates an auditable record resistant to time pressure and authority bias. This format enables tracking which principles were addressed, what violated them, and what fixes align with requirements.

Yes, evaluate at multiple points: before initial design creation for problem framing, during requirements review, and throughout implementation review cycles. Consistent evaluation across all nine categories maintains grounding in principles across your entire delivery process.
