What problem does it solve?

This command ensures architectures are considered before coding by forcing explicit diagrams, data flows, failure modes, and test matrices, preventing rushed or poorly integrated implementations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Architecture diagram (Mermaid) to surface boundaries between components (frontend, backend, storage, external services)
• Data flow diagram to map data transformations and ownership
• State machine for core flows, enumerating all states and transitions including failure states
• Sync vs async boundary decisions with rationale and latency expectations
• Failure mode inventory describing recovery paths and user impact
• Open questions section to capture key decisions pending alignment

Quick Start

Provide the locked product direction and request a complete architecture spec with diagrams, data flows, state machines, and a test matrix.
