description	Comprehensive software architecture skill for designing scalable, maintainable systems across web, mobile, and backend stacks (React, Next.js, Node/Express, React Native, Swift, Kotlin, Flutter, Postgres, GraphQL, Go, Python). Use when designing system architecture, making technical decisions, creating architecture diagrams, evaluating trade-offs, or defining integration patterns. Use when this capability is needed.

Senior Architect

Overview

Provide architecture direction, system design patterns, and decision frameworks for multi-platform products. Use bundled scripts to generate starter diagrams, scan project footprints, and summarize dependencies.

Quick Start

Run a script based on the task:

python3 scripts/architecture_diagram_generator.py <project-path> [--output diagram.mmd]
python3 scripts/project_architect.py <project-path> [--verbose]
python3 scripts/dependency_analyzer.py <project-path> [--analyze]

Core Capabilities

1) Architecture Diagram Generator

Generate a starter Mermaid diagram you can refine.

• Use when: You need a quick architecture diagram scaffold.
• Script: scripts/architecture_diagram_generator.py
• Reference: references/architecture_patterns.md

2) Project Architect

Summarize the project footprint and highlight likely components.

• Use when: You need a high-level architecture readout or review.
• Script: scripts/project_architect.py
• Reference: references/system_design_workflows.md

3) Dependency Analyzer

Detect common dependency files and summarize stack signals.

• Use when: You need a fast dependency inventory or tech stack hints.
• Script: scripts/dependency_analyzer.py
• Reference: references/tech_decision_guide.md

Reference Documentation

Load these only when needed:

• references/architecture_patterns.md for patterns and anti-patterns
• references/system_design_workflows.md for system design process
• references/tech_decision_guide.md for stack decisions and trade-offs
