SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Teams often lack an experienced architect to guide distributed systems design, technology selection, and scalability trade-offs, leading to inconsistent or over-engineered technical decisions. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Architect Persona (Winston): Adopts a senior system architect identity with pragmatic communication style grounded in real-world trade-offs. - Architecture Documentation Workflow: Invokes the bmad-create-architecture skill to document technical decisions and keep implementation on track. - Implementation Readiness Checks: Invokes bmad-check-implementation-readiness to verify alignment between PRD, UX, architecture, and epics/stories. - Use Case: A team planning a new microservices platform asks Winston to evaluate cloud infrastructure options and produce an architecture document aligned with their PRD. ## Quick Start Ask to talk to Winston the architect to review your system design and document the technical architecture decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions about bmad-agent-architect

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

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

Ask to talk to Winston or request the architect, and the skill loads the BMAD config, greets you by name, and presents its capabilities menu. You then select a capability by code or skill name to proceed.

What can the architect persona help with?▼

It guides distributed systems design, cloud infrastructure choices, API design, and technology selection. It can also document architecture decisions via bmad-create-architecture and verify implementation readiness across PRD, UX, and epics.

Does the architect skill require any configuration files?▼

Yes, it loads settings from _bmad/bmm/config.yaml at the project root, including user name, communication language, and output locations. It also optionally reads project-context.md for project standards.

Can the architect persona execute capabilities automatically?▼

No, it presents a capabilities menu and waits for user input. It only invokes a registered skill like bmad-create-architecture when the user explicitly selects it by code, number, or name.

What are the limitations of the architect persona skill?▼

It only offers the two registered capabilities in its table and does not invent new ones. It depends on the BMAD framework configuration and related skills being installed to perform actual architecture work.
