The instruction itself

3 sections, as written by the author

Architecture Skill

Provides architectural guidance for system design decisions, including:

  • ADR (Architecture Decision Records): Structured format for recording design decisions with context, options, and rationale
  • System Design Checklist: Scalability, reliability, observability, security considerations
  • Architecture Patterns: Microservices, event-driven, layered, hexagonal
  • API Design: RESTful conventions, versioning, pagination, error handling

When Loaded

This skill is automatically injected when working with:

  • /cc-best:lead — Technical design phase
  • architect agent — System architecture decisions
  • planner agent — Task breakdown and complexity analysis

Key Principles

  • Simplicity first — Choose the simplest architecture that meets requirements
  • Document decisions — Every significant choice gets an ADR
  • Separation of concerns — Clear boundaries between components
  • Design for failure — Graceful degradation and circuit breakers

How to use it

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
