Can I use this for Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)?

Absolutely. The skill provides structured workflows to help you evaluate options, document rationales, and generate formal ADRs for your project history.

What diagram formats does this skill support?

The Senior Architect skill supports Mermaid, PlantUML, and terminal-friendly ASCII formats for visualizing system components, layers, and deployment topologies.

Can it help me choose between SQL and NoSQL?

Yes, it includes specialized decision workflows that evaluate data characteristics, consistency requirements, and scaling needs to recommend the optimal database solution.

How does it analyze code architecture?

It scans your project structure to detect patterns like MVC or Hexagonal architecture and identifies structural issues such as god classes, mixed concerns, or layer violations.

Does it support circular dependency detection?

Yes, the dependency analyzer identifies circular references and high coupling across various ecosystems including npm/yarn, Python, Go, and Rust.

Cloud Infrastructure

Empowers developers to design scalable systems, evaluate technical trade-offs, and visualize complex architectures using automated analysis tools.

The Senior Architect skill provides comprehensive tools and workflows for high-level system design and architectural analysis within Claude Code. It enables users to automatically generate architecture diagrams in Mermaid or PlantUML formats, perform deep dependency analysis to find circular references, and evaluate project structures against common patterns like Hexagonal or Layered architecture. With built-in decision frameworks for database selection and microservices migration, it serves as an AI-powered technical lead that helps teams document Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and maintain long-term system health through data-driven technical evaluations.
