Does this skill help with MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration?

Yes, it specifically checks for patterns like Daemon SSE isolation to ensure MCP implementations handle subagent isolation and security correctly.

What is the primary goal of Critical Analysis Patterns?

The primary goal is to ensure 'canonical implementation'—meaning that code isn't just functional, but follows the most efficient, standardized, and justifiable patterns for its specific domain.

What are 'Radical Solutions' in this framework?

Radical solutions are proposals that suggest rebuilding or redefining a system from scratch when conservative 'band-aid' fixes are no longer sufficient to solve recurring problems.

How does the skill handle different architectural choices?

It categorizes choices as Deficient (recommends change), Respectable (acknowledges trade-offs), or Superior (learns and adopts the new pattern).

Developer Tools

Performs philosophical and meta-level project audits to align technical implementation with original intent.

About

Critical Analysis Patterns is a high-level architectural framework that enables Claude to perform deep-dive project evaluations. It goes beyond technical validation by auditing the 'why' behind every component, identifying inconsistencies between documentation and code, and enforcing canonical implementation standards for agents and plugins. By applying a structured six-question analysis—covering justification, alignment, consistency, and complexity—this skill helps developers identify technical debt, eliminate over-engineering, and synthesize solutions ranging from conservative fixes to radical architectural redesigns.

Key Features

Red Flag Detection: Automatically identifies architectural smells like unused capabilities or over-engineered hook systems.
Radical Solution Synthesis: Proposes transformative 'clean slate' redesigns for recurring architectural bottlenecks.
Six-Question Critical Framework: Systematically questions the existence, consistency, and complexity of every system component.
0 GitHub stars
Canonical Implementation Benchmarking: Evaluates code against industry-standard patterns for MCP, agents, and state management.
Intent vs. Implementation Audit: Detects drift where code behavior no longer matches its declared purpose or documentation.

Use Cases

Ensuring new plugins or tools adhere to canonical 'skillmaker' standards for better interoperability.
Conducting deep architectural reviews of complex AI agent frameworks to simplify logic.
Diagnosing recurring system failures by challenging fundamental constraints and proposing radical redesigns.
