Senior software architecture workflows and tooling for system design, scalability and reliability planning, API/data modeling, trade-off analysis, ADR writing, and producing clear architecture diagrams (Mermaid). Use when you need to define or revise architecture for a feature/system, choose technologies, document decisions, or review an existing codebase’s architecture.

description	Senior software architecture workflows and tooling for system design, scalability and reliability planning, API/data modeling, trade-off analysis, ADR writing, and producing clear architecture diagrams (Mermaid). Use when you need to define or revise architecture for a feature/system, choose technologies, document decisions, or review an existing codebase’s architecture.

Senior Architect

Design and document architectures that are clear, defensible, and shippable.

Quick Start

Clarify constraints:
- Primary user journey + success metrics
- Non-functional requirements (latency, throughput, availability, cost, compliance)
- Team constraints (skills, timelines, operational maturity)
Produce outputs (in this order):
- Context: system boundary + external dependencies
- Containers: major runtime components and responsibilities
- Interfaces: APIs/events/contracts + data ownership
- Risks: failure modes + mitigations + open questions
- Decisions: ADRs with explicit trade-offs

Use the bundled tools (optional, but recommended)

From your project root, run the scripts from the installed skill directory (default install location: ~/.codex/skills/senior-architect/).

Bootstrap a documentation skeleton (ADR + architecture doc templates):

python ~/.codex/skills/senior-architect/scripts/project_architect.py . --out docs/architecture

Summarize dependencies and detected stack signals (Node/Python/Go/Rust, Next.js, Postgres, etc.):

python ~/.codex/skills/senior-architect/scripts/dependency_analyzer.py . --json --output /tmp/deps.json

Generate a starter Mermaid diagram based on detected components:

python ~/.codex/skills/senior-architect/scripts/architecture_diagram_generator.py . --out docs/architecture/diagram.mmd

References (load only when needed)

Architecture patterns and when to use them: references/architecture-patterns.md
End-to-end system design workflow + checklists: references/system-design-workflow.md
Tech decision matrixes (DB, APIs, queues, caching, observability): references/tech-decision-guide.md

Deliverables (what “done” looks like)

docs/architecture/ARCHITECTURE.md with clear boundaries, contracts, data ownership, and scaling assumptions
At least one ADR under docs/architecture/adr/ for the most consequential decision
A Mermaid diagram (.mmd) that matches the written architecture

adaptyv

vadimcomanescu/codex-skills

Cloud laboratory platform for automated protein testing and validation. Use when designing proteins and needing experimental validation including binding assays, expression testing, thermostability measurements, enzyme activity assays, or protein sequence optimization. Also use for submitting experiments via API, tracking experiment status, downloading results, optimizing protein sequences for better expression using computational tools (NetSolP, SoluProt, SolubleMPNN, ESM), or managing protein design workflows with wet-lab validation.

aeon

vadimcomanescu/codex-skills

This skill should be used for time series machine learning tasks including classification, regression, clustering, forecasting, anomaly detection, segmentation, and similarity search. Use when working with temporal data, sequential patterns, or time-indexed observations requiring specialized algorithms beyond standard ML approaches. Particularly suited for univariate and multivariate time series analysis with scikit-learn compatible APIs.
