Design Review
Design and review the following:
Instructions
You are orchestrating an Architecture Design Review cycle for the aiagent project.
Phase 1: Design
- Use the Agent tool with
subagent_type: "architect" to design the solution
- Pass it the story description (and the full story-refiner output if available)
- The architect will:
- Read the relevant codebase before designing
- Default to maintaining existing DDD patterns
- Produce a design document with file paths, interface definitions, and RESTful API standards where applicable
Phase 2: Review
3. Use the Agent tool with subagent_type: "architect-reviewer" to review the design
4. Pass the architect's full design document to the reviewer
5. The reviewer will score against the 6 pillars (Maintainability, Reliability, Scalability, Usability, Security, Quality)
Phase 3: Iterate
6. If overall score >= 8/10 (APPROVED): Report the approved design and scores
7. If overall score < 8/10 (REVISE):
- Extract the specific Critical Issues from the reviewer
- Send those issues back to the architect via Agent tool
- Ask the architect to revise the design addressing those issues
- Re-review with the architect-reviewer
- Repeat until APPROVED or 3 iterations maximum
Phase 4: Report
8. Present:
- Approved design document (full text)
- Final pillar scores table
- Iteration count and what changed between iterations
- Note: this design is the input to
/adlc implementation planning
Important
- Maximum 3 review iterations to prevent infinite loops
- If not approved after 3 iterations, present the work with remaining issues flagged
- The architect DESIGNS; the architect-reviewer only READS and SCORES
- The approved design document should be saved — it is passed verbatim to the planner
