Does it check for database-specific patterns?

Yes, the Database Architecture lens specifically evaluates database selection justification, consistency trade-offs (ACID vs BASE), and data isolation between service boundaries.

Can I use this for both new designs and existing code?

Yes, it features two distinct modes: Proposal Review for evaluating plans and specs, and Implementation Review for auditing actual code and production structural health.

Does this skill only work with Clean Architecture?

No, while it uses Clean Architecture terminology as a primary language, it is architecture-agnostic and includes mappings for Hexagonal, Microservices, Serverless, and Event-Driven styles.

How does the architectural scoring system work?

The skill evaluates 27 specific criteria across six lenses, scoring each from 1-5 for a maximum of 135 points, providing a quantitative measure of your system's architectural quality.

Evaluates software designs and implementations through structured architectural lenses to ensure long-term maintainability and structural integrity.

This skill provides a comprehensive assessment framework for software architecture, grounded in the principle that the "why" behind a design is more critical than the "how." It utilizes six specialized lenses—Dependency Architecture, Component Design, Data Flow, Quality Attributes, Structural Integrity, and Database Architecture—to audit both technical proposals and existing codebases. By applying universal principles like SOLID and Clean Architecture, it identifies anti-patterns, enforces boundary contracts, and ensures that systems remain evolvable, testable, and aligned with industry-standard patterns used by leading engineering organizations.
