phase_03_architecture_design

System architecture design converts requirements into a concrete blueprint covering components, interfaces, and ADRs. This skill generates system architecture documents tailored for cloud-native, multi-service environments to guide engineering teams.

Threat modeling identifies security risks within your security architecture design. You need it when developing multi-service environments to produce threat model artifacts that mitigate vulnerabilities before implementation begins.

Architecture Decision Records are generated as part of the architecture blueprint to document technical decisions. The skill outputs ADRs alongside system and security architecture documents to provide governance and technical specifications.

Yes, data architecture design produces ERDs, schemas, and API specifications like OpenAPI or Swagger. These artifacts are generated directly from Phase 2 requirements to guide concrete implementation.

Architecture design applies specifically to cloud-native, multi-service environments. The skill produces comprehensive blueprints including cloud infrastructure design, data models, and security architecture for these distributed systems.

Cloud infrastructure design is documented alongside security architecture and threat models within a single architecture blueprint. This approach ensures infrastructure considerations align with data models and security requirements.
