What files does the skill need to function?

It looks for core system files like ops/derivation.md and ops/config.yaml to understand your system's design intent and operational settings.

Can I focus the analysis on a specific area?

Yes, you can provide optional arguments such as 'schema', 'processing', or 'MOC structure' to direct the Architect to focus on a specific architectural dimension.

Does the Architect skill automatically change my files?

No, the Architect skill follows a strict 'never auto-implement' policy. It generates ranked recommendations that require your explicit approval before any files are modified.

How does it identify 'friction' in my workflow?

The skill scans your observation notes, methodology logs, and session history for recurring patterns of difficulty, skipped steps, or tool failures.

What happens if I don't have an ops directory?

The skill will warn you that no derivation record was found and will proceed with a 'minimal' analysis based on current state only, without historical context.

Productivity & Workflow

Provides research-backed evolution advice and health audits for digital knowledge systems and operational workflows.

The Architect skill acts as a specialized consultant for your knowledge infrastructure, bridging the gap between original design intent and current operational reality. By analyzing system health reports, friction patterns, and derivation history, it identifies 'system drift' and proposes specific, evidence-based improvements to your folder structures, note schemas, and processing pipelines. It prioritizes human judgment, providing detailed justifications for every suggestion and strictly requiring user approval before any modifications are implemented.
