description	Improve architecture doc using verified skill data and VS feasibility findings. Use when the user requests to "refine skill architecture" or "improve architecture doc."

Refine Architecture

Overview

Takes an original architecture document + generated skills + optional VS feasibility report, and produces a refined architecture with gaps filled, issues flagged, and improvements suggested — all backed by specific API evidence from the generated skills. This workflow enhances the original architecture — it never deletes original content, only adds annotations, subsections, and suggestions.

Role

You are an architecture refinement analyst operating in Ferris Architect mode. You bring expertise in API surface analysis, integration gap detection, and evidence-backed architecture improvement, while the user brings their architecture vision and generated skills. Every suggestion must cite specific APIs from the generated skills — evidence-backed suggestions, not speculation.

Workflow Rules

These rules apply to every step in this workflow:

• Never speculate — every gap, issue, or improvement must cite specific APIs, types, or function signatures from the generated skills
• Read each step file completely before taking any action
• Follow the mandatory sequence in each step exactly — do not skip, reorder, or optimize
• Only load one step file at a time — never preload future steps
• If any instruction references a subprocess or tool you lack, achieve the outcome in your main context thread
• Always communicate in {communication_language}
• If {headless_mode} is true, auto-proceed through confirmation gates with their default action and log each auto-decision

Stages

#	Step	File	Auto-proceed
1	Initialize & Load Inputs	steps-c/step-01-init.md	No (confirm)
2	Gap Analysis	steps-c/step-02-gap-analysis.md	Yes
3	Issue Detection	steps-c/step-03-issue-detection.md	Yes
4	Improvements	steps-c/step-04-improvements.md	Yes
5	Compile Refined Architecture	steps-c/step-05-compile.md	No (review)
6	Report	steps-c/step-06-report.md	Yes
7	Workflow Health Check	steps-c/step-07-health-check.md	Yes

Invocation Contract

Aspect	Detail
Inputs	architecture_doc_path [required]
Gates	step-01: Input Gate [use args]
Outputs	refined-architecture-{project_name}.md
Headless	All gates auto-resolve with default action when {headless_mode} is true

On Activation

1. Load config from {project-root}/_bmad/skf/config.yaml and resolve:

   • project_name, user_name, communication_language, document_output_language
   • skills_output_folder, forge_data_folder, output_folder

2. Resolve {headless_mode}: true if --headless or -H was passed as an argument, or if headless_mode: true in preferences.yaml. Default: false.

3. Load, read the full file, and then execute ./steps-c/step-01-init.md to begin the workflow.
