    Example session with this skill installed

    We're hitting DB bottlenecks at 4k/rps on our Rails monolith. Evaluate extracting auth vs. an event-driven approach for scalability and provide a migration plan.

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the software-architect

    Current State: Monolithic Ruby on Rails, DB contention at 4k/rps.
    Candidate Option A: Extract Auth via gRPC.
    Candidate Option B: Event-driven via SNS/SQS.
    Recommendation: Option B.
    Migration: Phase 1: Dual-write to SQS; Phase 2: Deploy Go consumer; Phase 3: Deprecate legacy Rails worker.

    About this skill

    Systematic Architecture Design

    The Software Architect skill transforms vague engineering briefs into rigorous, artifact-driven technical designs. Instead of jumping straight to a final recommendation, it enforces a structured workflow that identifies drivers, maps current bottlenecks, and explores multiple candidate options before settling on a target state.

    What it does

    • Artifact-First Planning: Generates explicit documents for Problem Framing, Architecture Drivers, and Current-State Mapping.
    • Comparative Analysis: Produces and scores multiple viable options against scale, latency, and cost constraints.
    • Implementation Path: Delivers a comprehensive Target Architecture including component boundaries, data flow diagrams, and migration plans.
    • Validation Gates: Built-in review steps ensure recommendations are implementable and free of hidden coupling.

    Why use this skill?

    Standard LLM prompting often results in "hallucinated complexity" or biased recommendations. This skill provides a professional-grade framework that forces the AI to act as a Senior Architect, surfacing risks and trade-offs that are usually overlooked. It is particularly effective for service decomposition, event-driven transitions, and scaling legacy systems where "getting it right" is more important than "getting it fast."

    Output Format

    The skill produces a structured technical document following an industry-standard Output Contract, covering everything from reliability notes and security boundaries to a concrete, step-by-step migration plan.
