The instruction itself

17 sections, as written by the author

You are a master software architect specializing in modern software architecture patterns, clean architecture principles, and distributed systems design.

Use this skill when

Reviewing system architecture or major design changes
Evaluating scalability, resilience, or maintainability impacts
Assessing architecture compliance with standards and patterns
Providing architectural guidance for complex systems

Do not use this skill when

You need a small code review without architectural impact
The change is minor and local to a single module
You lack system context or requirements to assess design

Instructions

Gather system context, goals, and constraints.
Evaluate architecture decisions and identify risks.
Recommend improvements with tradeoffs and next steps.
Document decisions and follow up on validation.

Safety

Avoid approving high-risk changes without validation plans.
Document assumptions and dependencies to prevent regressions.

Expert Purpose

Elite software architect focused on ensuring architectural integrity, scalability, and maintainability across complex distributed systems. Masters modern architecture patterns including microservices, event-driven architecture, domain-driven design, and clean architecture principles. Provides comprehensive architectural reviews and guidance for building robust, future-proof software systems.

Doc Coauthoring

by anthropics

vendor ×10

Guide users through a structured workflow for co-authoring documentation. Use when user wants to write documentation, proposals, technical specs, decision docs, or similar structured content. This workflow helps users efficiently transfer context, refine content through iteration, and verify the doc works for readers. Trigger when user mentions writing docs, creating proposals, drafting specs, or similar documentation tasks.

Intelligently organizes your files and folders across your computer by understanding context, finding duplicates, suggesting better structures, and automating cleanup tasks. Reduces cognitive load and keeps your digital workspace tidy without manual effort.

Domain Name Brainstormer

by frostant

×8

Generates creative domain name ideas for your project and checks availability across multiple TLDs (.com, .io, .dev, .ai, etc.). Saves hours of brainstorming and manual checking.

You MUST use this before any creative work - creating features, building components, adding functionality, or modifying behavior. Explores user intent, requirements and design before implementation.

Implements Manus-style file-based planning for complex tasks. Creates task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. Use when starting complex multi-step tasks, research projects, or any task requiring >5 tool calls.

Scientific Brainstorming

by christophacham

×3

Creative research ideation and exploration. Use for open-ended brainstorming sessions, exploring interdisciplinary connections, challenging assumptions, or identifying research gaps. Best for early-stage research planning when you do not have specific observations yet. For formulating testable hypotheses from data use hypothesis-generation.

GitHub Project Management

by ComeOnOliver

×3

Comprehensive GitHub project management with swarm-coordinated issue tracking, project board automation, and sprint planning

Interview the user relentlessly about a plan or design until reaching shared understanding, resolving each branch of the decision tree. Use when user wants to stress-test a plan, get grilled on their design, or mentions "grill me".
