architecture-designer

Use when designing new high-level system architecture, reviewing existing designs, or making architectural decisions. Invoke to create architecture diagrams, write Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), evaluate technology trade-offs, design component interactions, and plan for scalability. Use for system design, architecture review, microservices structuring, ADR authoring, scalability planning, and infrastructure pattern selection — distinct from code-level design patterns or database-only design tasks.

Will this work with your setup?

Install location suggests this is meant for claude-code. The author tagged this repository "claude-skills" on GitHub. That is their statement of intent, not a test result.

We have not run this skill against a task with and without it enabled, so we cannot tell you whether it improves anything, what it costs in tokens, or whether it duplicates behaviour your harness already has. When we have run that test, the result will appear on this page with the task, the versions and the budget it used.

The skill definition lives at skills/architecture-designer/SKILL.md in https://github.com/Jeffallan/claude-skills.
