SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The architect skill provides structured, evidence‑based system design plans, mitigating risks and clarifying impact before code changes are made.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Impact Analysis: Identifies all files and components that could be affected by a proposed change.
  • Pattern Selection: Recommends existing architecture patterns from the codebase, ensuring consistency.
  • Risk Assessment: Highlights potential risks and provides evidence from source files.
  • Design Documentation: Generates detailed architecture decisions ready for downstream developers.

Quick Start

Ask the architect to create a design plan for adding pagination to the project’s API endpoints.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an evidence-backed architecture plan for software changes?

To generate an architecture plan, the skill leverages codebase indexing and pattern libraries to produce structured design plans, identifying affected files and recommending existing patterns to ensure consistency.

What is the best way to perform impact analysis before modifying a codebase?

Impact analysis identifies all files and components affected by a proposed change, using codebase indexing to generate concrete file impact lists and mitigate risks before code is actually written.

How do I assess risks and select architecture patterns for a new feature?

Risk assessment highlights potential issues with evidence from source files, while pattern selection recommends existing architecture patterns from your codebase to maintain design consistency.

Can I use this to plan system design for adding pagination to API endpoints?

Yes, you can request a design plan for adding pagination to API endpoints, and the skill will output detailed architecture decisions and validation checklists ready for downstream developers.

Does this architecture planning skill work without external dependencies?

Yes, the skill operates with no external dependencies, relying solely on its internal pattern libraries and validation checklists to produce concrete file impact lists and risk assessments.
