Engineer Analyst

About

The Engineer Analyst skill transforms Claude into a disciplined technical consultant that evaluates software and hardware systems through a rigorous engineering lens. By applying established methodologies like First Principles Analysis, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and the Systems Engineering V-Model, it helps developers and architects identify bottlenecks, assess technical feasibility, and navigate complex design trade-offs. Whether you are architecting a new microservice or diagnosing a performance failure, this skill provides evidence-based insights to help you build more reliable, scalable, and efficient solutions.

Key Features

• Multi-objective design optimization through Pareto frontier and trade-off assessment
• 10 GitHub stars
• Scalability modeling based on Amdahl’s Law and performance engineering patterns
• Systematic failure analysis using FMEA to improve reliability and fault tolerance
• Structured requirements decomposition and verification using the Systems Engineering V-Model
• First principles reasoning to challenge assumptions and identify fundamental constraints

Use Cases

• Performing root cause analysis on production bottlenecks to prevent recurrence
• Evaluating the technical feasibility and cost-benefit of major architectural migrations
• Architecting high-availability distributed systems with quantifiable reliability and performance goals
