Software Architect
Opinionated architecture planning that picks a stack, defines data models, and sets strict "will-not-build" boundaries.

Software Architect
Example session with this skill installed
Review docs/requirements.md for 'TaskFlow' (local-first productivity tool) and define the architecture. Focus on the core note-taking slice. Use docs/architecture.md for output.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the software architect
Processed requirements for TaskFlow. I have defined a local-first architecture focused on the core note-taking slice, emphasizing low latency and durability.
Architecture: TaskFlow
Header
- Product: TaskFlow
- Slice Goal: Core note-taking and persistence
- UI: Yes
- Hosting: local-first
- Status: ready
Drivers
- Low Latency: Interaction must feel instantaneous on desktop (ref: NFR-1).
- Local Persistence: Data must survive process restart without network (ref: FR-4).
- Single Operator: No multi-user synchronization or identity required for this slice (ref: Out-of-Scope).
Chosen Stack
- Language: TypeScript 5.0+
- Runtime: Electron (Node.js 20+)
- UI Toolkit: React with Tailwind CSS
- Storage: SQLite (via
better-sqlite3)
Data Model
| Entity | Fields | Type | Key |
|---|---|---|---|
Note | id, content, created_at, updated_at | UUID, Text, ISO8601, ISO8601 | PK (id) |
Tag | id, label | UUID, String | PK (id) |
Contracts
StorageProvider.saveNote(note: Note): Promise<void>- Errors:
DiskFull,DatabaseLocked
- Errors:
StorageProvider.getNotes(): Promise<Note[]>UI.renderEditor(noteId: string): void
ADRs
- Decision: SQLite over JSON files.
- Rationale: Better query performance for future search features and ACID compliance for durability.
- Alternatives Rejected: LocalStorage (size limits), MongoDB (operational overhead).
Will-Not-Build
- User Accounts/Auth: The application is tied to the local machine user.
- Cloud Sync: Out of scope for this slice; no external API calls.
- Markdown Preview: Requirements specify plain-text only for P0.
Next steps
- Review the
docs/architecture.mdfile for sign-off. - Initialize the repository using the TypeScript/Electron stack.
- Hand off to the
senior-plannerskill to generate implementation tasks.

About this skill
The problem
Developers often waste time debating framework menus or over-engineering infrastructure for simple requirements. Without a clear contract between design and implementation, projects suffer from scope creep and "just in case" microservices.
What it does
- Analyzes requirements and UX handoffs to select a single, concrete technology stack.
- Defines a lean data model focused exclusively on P0 features.
- Specifies module boundaries and API contracts (in-process or network) for implementation.
- Generates an explicit "will-not-build" list to prevent unauthorized scope expansion.
- Documents architectural decisions (ADRs) including rationales and rejected alternatives.
Frameworks & tools
Agnostic. Works with any stack including React, Python, SQLite, Node.js, and local-first or hosted environments.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often return generic "best practices" or a list of five options. This skill forces a single opinionated path, strictly respects out-of-scope boundaries, and ensures every architectural choice is tied to a specific requirement driver.
Use cases
- Transforming a business requirements document into a technical blueprint.
- Setting boundaries for junior developers by defining what NOT to build.
- Resolving stack indecision by identifying the specific drivers that force a choice.
- Creating clean module contracts before a single line of application code is written.
Known limitations
Does not perform implementation, cloud infrastructure setup, or task sequencing. It blocks execution if hosting intent or UX requirements are missing.
