SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill verifies architecture conformance for proposed changes to ensure alignment with established layer boundaries, naming conventions, and patterns before execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architectural validation across feature changes, refactors, and dependencies to prevent design drift.
  • Read memory contexts (ARCH_INDEX, FEATURE_* memories) and flag deviations early in the workflow.
  • Integrates with the workflow to gate progress and request approvals when issues are found.

Quick Start

Ask the workflow to perform an architecture review for the current feature set.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify architecture conformance for proposed feature changes?

Architecture conformance verifies that proposed feature changes respect established layer boundaries, naming conventions, and patterns. This Skill reads ARCH_INDEX and FEATURE memories to flag deviations and prevent design drift before execution.

What is the best way to audit software architecture before executing a refactor?

Auditing architecture before a refactor requires validating the approach against established patterns and layer boundaries. This Skill checks memory contexts, surfaces issues early, and gates progress to support the approval workflow.

How does an architecture review workflow gate progress for dependency updates?

An architecture review gates progress by validating dependency updates against established conventions and requesting approvals when issues are found. It reads memory contexts and flags deviations to prevent design drift before execution.

When do I need an architecture review for feature migrations?

An architecture review is needed for feature migrations when you must ensure alignment with existing layer boundaries and naming conventions. It prevents design drift by validating the approach and surfacing issues early in the workflow.

Can I use architecture guardrails to prevent design drift in refactoring?

Architecture guardrails prevent design drift in refactoring by validating the approach against established patterns and layer boundaries. This Skill reads memory contexts, checks patterns, and surfaces issues to support the approval workflow.
