How do I trigger the architecture skill?

You can use the /architecture command followed by your query, such as 'Should we use Kafka or SQS?' or 'Review this microservices proposal'.

What is an ADR in the context of this skill?

An Architecture Decision Record (ADR) is a structured document that captures an important architectural decision, including the context, the options considered, and the resulting consequences.

What output format does the architecture skill provide?

It generates a standardized Markdown ADR format that includes status, deciders, context, detailed trade-off tables for different options, and specific action items.

Can this skill compare specific technologies like Kafka vs. SQS?

Yes, it is specifically designed to evaluate trade-offs between different tech stacks, databases, or messaging systems based on dimensions like complexity, cost, and scalability.

Generates structured Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and evaluates system designs to facilitate informed technology choices.

The Architecture skill streamlines the technical decision-making process by creating comprehensive Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and conducting deep-dive system design evaluations. It helps engineering teams weigh trade-offs between technologies—such as Kafka versus SQS—document design consequences, and refine system proposals based on specific constraints like scalability, cost, and team expertise. By providing a standardized framework for documenting the reasoning behind technical shifts, it ensures long-term maintainability and clear communication across development teams.
