System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill orchestrates a three-phase design-review workflow (Architect → Refiner → Critique) to produce a complete Architecture Decision Record (ADR) and a shared understanding of the system design.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end design lifecycle: orchestrates design, refinement, and critique steps to surface decisions and trade-offs.
  • Artifact generation: creates and stores design.md, refinements.md, refined.md, and critique.md under docs/design-reviews/[name]/.
  • Collaboration and governance: enforces structured feedback and creates a traceable ADR that teams can act on.
  • Use Case: a team evaluating a new module can run the arc workflow to capture domain boundaries, concerns, and final decisions.

Quick Start

Start an architecture review with the command: /arc <name> <target>. After three phases complete, run /arc-review <name> to generate the ADR.
