SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Getting reliable architectural guidance on design decisions, technology choices, and scalability trade-offs is hard without a senior architect on hand. This Skill provides structured expert consultation on technical questions without writing any code. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-Lens Architecture Analysis: Evaluates each question through four lenses — Systems Designer, Technology Strategist, Scalability Consultant, and Risk Analyst — in a single pass. - Context-Grounded Answers: Reads project workflow rules and documentation (architecture, standards, roadmap) before answering, and can scout the codebase when context is missing. - Structured Output: Delivers architecture analysis, design recommendations, technology guidance with pros/cons, phased implementation strategy, and next actions. - Use Case: Ask whether to adopt an event-driven architecture for your growing monolith, and receive a trade-off analysis grounded in your project's actual constraints and documentation. ## Quick Start Ask a technical or architectural question such as "Should we split this service into microservices given our current scale?" and receive a structured architectural consultation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get architectural advice on a design decision?▼

Pose your technical question directly, and the Skill analyzes it through four lenses: system design, technology strategy, scalability, and risk. It reads your project's architecture docs and workflow rules first, then returns design recommendations with rationale and alternatives.

What kinds of questions can this architecture consultation answer?▼

It handles high-level design decisions, technology stack selection, architectural pattern evaluation, scalability assessment, and trade-off analysis. It deliberately avoids implementation details and never writes code.

Can this Skill write or modify code based on its recommendations?▼

No. It is strictly consultation-only with read-only tools (Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, WebSearch). It provides analysis, recommendations, and next-step guidance, but never implements or edits code, plans, or documents.

Does the architecture advice consider my actual project context?▼

Yes. It reads workflow rules, development contracts, orchestration protocols, and project documentation such as system architecture and roadmap before answering. If context is insufficient, it can scout the codebase for more information.

When should I not use an architecture consultation skill?▼

Avoid it when you need hands-on implementation, code review of specific files, or debugging. It is designed for strategic, high-level guidance and explicitly delegates nothing and builds nothing.
