System design decisions are best documented using Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) to capture trade-offs and context. This Skill generates ADRs alongside high-level architecture plans to align teams on monolith versus microservices choices and API specifications.

You can create C4 diagrams using Mermaid by providing a high-level system design sketch. This Skill generates Mermaid-based C4 diagrams as design artifacts to visually communicate scalable architecture structures and component relationships.

Architecture decision records are needed when evaluating monolith versus microservices trade-offs to ensure scalable architecture. This Skill provides trade-off analysis and guidance to formalize these system design decisions for large-scale products.

Yes, this system design Skill provides comprehensive guidance on API design choices and data storage strategies. It helps evaluate patterns and produces high-level design artifacts that satisfy requirements for robust API specifications.

No, this Skill is explicitly not for implementation details or coding tasks. It focuses strictly on high-level system architecture, evaluating tech trade-offs, producing ADRs, and generating C4 diagrams.

You evaluate tech trade-offs in scalable system architecture by analyzing decision records and high-level design artifacts. This Skill provides a comprehensive toolkit for trade-off analysis covering database patterns, API design, and architectural styles.
