How does Arch Strategy detect architectural drift?

It uses heuristic file-level pattern matching and regex on imports to compare the actual codebase structure against rules defined in your governance documentation and ADRs.

Is this skill language-specific?

No, it is designed to be language-agnostic by using pattern matching rather than AST-level parsing, allowing it to work across diverse tech stacks.

Does this replace tools like ArchUnit or dependency-cruiser?

It is intended to be complementary. While traditional tools focus on static analysis, this skill adds documentation-awareness, linking code directly to architectural decisions.

How do I invoke the arch-strategy skill?

This skill is not directly invocable. It provides background knowledge that informs Claude's behavior whenever it encounters architecture maps, ADRs, or module boundary concerns.

开发者工具

Enforces architectural integrity by synchronizing documented decisions with codebase structure and module boundaries.

The Architecture Strategy skill provides Claude with a comprehensive framework for enforcing architectural governance using the Principled methodology. It bridges the gap between high-level documentation and implementation by mapping modules to Architectural Decision Records (ADRs), detecting structural drift, and auditing decision coverage. Using language-agnostic heuristic analysis, it ensures that dependency directions—such as the core-lib-app hierarchy—are respected while maintaining an advisory-first approach that nudges developers toward better design without blocking productivity.
