bmad-agent-architect

What problem does it solve? Teams moving from product requirements to implementation often lack a consistent architectural voice that translates PRDs and UX designs into coherent technical decisions. This Skill activates Winston, a System Architect persona, who guides the solutioning phase of the BMad Method with pragmatic, trade-off-driven architecture guidance. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Persona Activation: Loads a customizable architect identity (role, communication style, principles) from layered TOML configuration files with base, team, and user overrides. - Architecture Menu: Dispatches capabilities such as producing the architecture spine (bmad-architecture) and checking implementation readiness across PRD, UX, architecture, and epics. - Persistent Context: Loads project facts and config (user name, communication language, planning artifacts) so guidance stays consistent across the session. - Use Case: After finishing a PRD, a developer asks to talk to Winston; the agent greets them, presents a numbered menu, and produces the architecture spine that keeps independently built units consistent. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to talk to Winston the architect and produce the architecture spine for your PRD.
