name	code-architecture
description	Dispatches a code-architect agent to design an implementation blueprint for a feature. Use when another skill needs architectural design — planning files to create/modify, data flow, risks, and testing strategy. Accepts a feature description, exploration findings, and a design approach.

Code Architecture

Dispatch a code-architect agent to design an implementation blueprint. This skill acts as the canonical entry point for architectural design and is invoked by other skills (feature-dev, codebase-analysis) rather than used standalone.

Inputs

This skill expects the calling skill to provide:

• Feature description — what needs to be built or changed
• Exploration findings — relevant files, patterns, and context from prior codebase exploration
• Design approach — one of: Minimal (simplicity-focused), Flexible (extensibility-focused), or Project-Aligned (convention-focused)

Agents

Agent	File	Dependencies
code-architect	agents/code-architect.md	none

Workflow

1. Receive the feature description, exploration findings, and design approach from the calling skill
2. Dispatch the code-architect agent with:
   • The feature description
   • Summary of relevant files and patterns from exploration
   • The specific design approach to use
   • Instructions to return a detailed implementation blueprint
3. Collect and return the architect's blueprint to the calling skill

Execution Strategy

If subagent dispatch is available: Dispatch the code-architect as a subagent, passing the contents of agents/code-architect.md as the task instructions along with the design brief. The subagent works independently and returns an implementation blueprint.

If subagent dispatch is not available: Read agents/code-architect.md and follow its instructions directly. Use the provided feature description, exploration findings, and design approach as input. Produce the implementation blueprint inline before returning control to the calling skill.
