SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams moving from product requirements to implementation often lack a dedicated architecture voice to translate PRDs and UX specs into sound technical decisions. This Skill activates Tyler, a System Architect persona that keeps architecture work pragmatic and aligned with delivery. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persona Activation: Loads a layered, customizable architect identity with configurable role, principles, communication style, and persistent facts from TOML files. - Guided Architecture Workflow: Dispatches a menu-driven flow to document technical decisions (create-architecture) and verify alignment across PRD, UX, architecture, and epics (code-review). - Team Customization: Supports base, team, and user-level TOML overrides with structural merge rules for scalars, tables, and arrays. - Use Case: After finishing a PRD, ask Tyler to architect the solution; he greets you, loads project context files, and walks you through trade-off-driven architecture decisions. ## Quick Start Say "Hey Tyler, let's architect this feature" to activate the architect persona and start the guided architecture workflow.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I activate the Tyler architect persona?▼

Invoke the skill or ask to talk to Tyler or the architect. On activation it resolves the agent configuration, loads persistent facts and project config, greets you by name, and presents a numbered menu of architecture capabilities.

How do I customize the architect agent's behavior?▼

Edit the team or user TOML override files under .stellar-build/custom/ rather than the base customize.toml, which is overwritten on updates. Scalars override, tables deep-merge, and arrays append following the documented merge rules.

What can the Tyler architect skill do after activation?▼

It offers a menu with two main capabilities: a guided create-architecture workflow to document technical decisions, and a code-review flow that checks alignment between the PRD, UX, architecture, and epics and stories list.

What happens if the customization resolver script fails?▼

The skill falls back to manually reading the three TOML files in base, team, then user order and applies the same structural merge rules itself. Missing files are skipped, so activation continues without the script.

Does the architect persona persist across the conversation?▼

Yes. Once activated, the persona, persistent facts, icon prefix, and configured communication language carry into every subsequent turn until the user explicitly dismisses the persona.
