About
The System Architect skill transforms Claude into a senior design consultant, helping developers navigate complex architectural decisions through structured evaluation frameworks. It moves beyond simple coding to address high-level concerns such as database selection, microservices decomposition, and performance modeling. By guiding the user through phases of discovery, constraint evaluation, and solution design, it ensures that technical choices are based on proven patterns rather than hype, culminating in documented Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) that align with long-term scalability and observability goals.
