forge-architecture

What problem does it solve? This Skill demystifies the Claude Code ecosystem architecture, enabling you to choose the right component (agents, skills, commands, hooks) for any use case and design cohesive, high-performing multi-component solutions, reducing debugging time and architectural complexity.

Core Features & Use Cases:

• Component Decision Tree: Guides you in selecting the optimal Claude Code component type based on your specific automation requirements.
• Isolation Model Explained: Clarifies how agents operate in isolated contexts, preventing common pitfalls related to user interaction.
• Interaction Patterns: Teaches best practices for how commands delegate to agents, agents load skills, and hooks enforce rules, ensuring seamless component collaboration.
• Use Case: When designing a new plugin that needs to run tests, generate code, and enforce formatting, this skill helps you decide whether to use an agent for test execution, a skill for design principles, and a hook for formatting, ensuring an efficient and maintainable architecture.

Quick Start: Use the forge-architecture skill to understand the best component type for a new feature that needs to automatically review code changes.
