Architect System Skill
Trigger Phrases
This skill is automatically triggered when the user:
- Asks to "design architecture" or "plan system architecture"
- Requests system design or structure
- Wants architectural decisions or patterns
- Mentions "microservices", "monolith", or "system design"
- Asks about scalability or system structure
Delegation Instructions
When this skill is triggered:
- Delegate immediately to the
architect agent
- Provide system requirements
- Include scalability and performance needs
- Specify constraints and context
- Include any architectural preferences
Context to Pass
- System Requirements: Functional and non-functional requirements
- Scale Requirements: Expected load and growth
- Constraints: Technical or business constraints
- Current Architecture: Existing system structure
- Preferences: Architectural style preferences
- Integration Needs: External system integrations
Agent Responsibilities
The architect agent will:
- Analyze requirements and constraints
- Design system architecture
- Choose appropriate patterns
- Plan for scalability
- Ensure maintainability
- Document architectural decisions
Usage Examples
Example 1: New System Design
User: "Design the architecture for a microservices e-commerce system"
Delegation: Delegate to architect with:
- System: E-commerce platform
- Style: Microservices
- Requirements: Scalability, reliability
Example 2: Architecture Review
User: "Review and improve the current system architecture"
Delegation: Delegate to architect with:
- Task: Architecture review
- Current: Existing architecture
- Goals: Improvements needed
Example 3: Architectural Decision
User: "Should we use microservices or monolith for this project?"
Delegation: Delegate to architect with:
- Decision: Architecture style
- Context: Project requirements
- Constraints: Team size, timeline
Best Practices
- Delegate architecture design to architect agent
- Provide comprehensive requirements
- Include scalability needs
- Specify constraints clearly
- Request detailed design
