Create Architecture
Purpose
Generate comprehensive, production-ready system architecture documents from requirements. Supports Frontend, Backend, and Fullstack projects with scale-adaptive depth, proven architectural patterns, and Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
Core Principles:
Multi-domain support: Frontend, Backend, Fullstack architecturesScale-adaptive: Adjusts detail based on project complexityPattern-driven: Leverages proven architectural patterns catalogDecision-focused: Documents key decisions as ADRsTechnology-agnostic: Considers multiple options, recommends best fit
Prerequisites
Requirements document exists (PRD, epic, or user stories)
Non-functional requirements (NFRs) defined or inferable
Target user scale and data volume known or estimable
Project constraints documented (team, timeline, budget)
Workflow
1. Load and Analyze Requirements
Action: Read requirements document using bmad-commands
Execute:
python .claude/skills/bmad-commands/scripts/read_file.py \
--path {requirements_file} \
--output json
Extract from requirements:
Functional requirements (features, capabilities)
Non-functional requirements (performance, security, scalability)
Business goals and constraints
Technical constraints (technologies, platforms)
User scale estimates
Data volume estimates
Integration requirements
If brownfield: Also load existing architecture for context.
See: references/requirements-analysis-guide.md for extraction techniques
2. Detect Project Type
Analyze requirements to determine domain:
Frontend-only indicators:
UI/UX requirements are dominant
No backend/API requirements mentioned
Focus on components, state, routing, styling
Technologies: React, Vue, Angular, Svelte
Backend-only indicators:
API/service requirements dominant
No UI requirements mentioned
Focus on business logic, data processing, integrations
Technologies: Node.js, Python, Java, Go, Rust
Both frontend and backend requirements
End-to-end user journeys described
Integration between UI and services
Technologies span both domains
Default: If unclear, select Fullstack (most comprehensive)
See: references/project-type-patterns.md for detailed detection criteria
3. Assess Complexity Calculate complexity score based on weighted factors:
Factor Weight Scoring User scale 25% <1K=10, 1K-10K=30, 10K-100K=60, >100K=90 Data volume 20% <10GB=10, 10GB-1TB=40, >1TB=80 Integration points 20% 0-2=10, 3-5=40, 6-10=70, >10=90 Performance reqs 15% None=0, Standard=30, Strict=70 Security reqs 10% Basic=10, Standard=40, Advanced=80 Deployment 10% Single=10, Multi-region=50, Global=80
Score = (scale × 0.25) + (data × 0.20) + (integrations × 0.20) +
(perf × 0.15) + (security × 0.10) + (deploy × 0.10)
0-30: Simple (single-tier, standard patterns)31-60: Medium (multi-tier, moderate patterns)61-100: Complex (distributed, advanced patterns) This determines: Architecture depth, pattern selection, ADR count
See: references/complexity-assessment.md for detailed scoring guide
4. Select Architectural Patterns Based on project type and complexity, select patterns:
Component architecture (atomic design, compound components)
State management (Redux, Zustand, Context, Recoil)
Routing strategies (file-based, declarative, nested)
Styling approach (CSS-in-JS, Tailwind, CSS Modules)
Data fetching (React Query, SWR, Apollo)
API design (REST, GraphQL, tRPC, gRPC)
Service architecture (monolith, microservices, modular monolith)
Data modeling (relational, document, event-sourced)
Integration patterns (message queues, event buses, webhooks)
Caching strategies (Redis, Memcached, CDN)
Framework selection (Next.js, Remix, SvelteKit, Nuxt)
Monorepo structure (Turborepo, Nx, Lerna)
API layers (BFF, API Gateway, tRPC)
Deployment (Vercel, Netlify, AWS, Docker/K8s)
Authentication (NextAuth, Passport, Auth0, Clerk)
See: references/patterns-catalog.md for complete pattern library
5. Evaluate Technology Stack For each architectural component, evaluate options:
Requirements fit (does it meet functional/NFRs?)
Team expertise (can team use this effectively?)
Community support (strong ecosystem?)
Performance (meets requirements?)
Scalability (scales with growth?)
Cost (licensing/infrastructure costs?)
Maintenance (long-term burden?)
Migration path (can we change later?)
Identify requirements for component
Generate 3-5 alternatives
Evaluate against criteria
Select best fit
Document in ADR
See: references/technology-decision-framework.md for evaluation matrices
6. Generate Architecture Document Create comprehensive architecture at docs/architecture.md:
Structure (adapt based on project type):
# [Project Name] Architecture
## 1. System Overview
[High-level description, context, goals]
## 2. Architecture Diagrams
[C4 context, container, component diagrams]
## 3. Frontend Architecture (if applicable)
[Component design, state management, routing, styling, build]
## 4. Backend Architecture (if applicable)
[API design, services, data layer, business logic, integrations]
## 5. Fullstack Integration (if applicable)
[End-to-end flows, API contracts, auth, deployment]
## 6. Data Architecture
[Data models, relationships, migrations, caching]
## 7. Technology Stack
[All technologies with justifications]
## 8. Deployment Architecture
[Infrastructure, environments, CI/CD, monitoring]
## 9. Security Architecture
[Authentication, authorization, data protection, compliance]
## 10. Performance Architecture
[Caching, optimization, CDN, load balancing]
## 11. Scalability Plan
[Horizontal/vertical scaling, bottlenecks, growth plan]
## 12. Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
[Key decisions with context, options considered, rationale]
## 13. Migration Strategy (brownfield only)
[Current state, target state, migration path, risks]
## 14. Open Questions & Risks
[Unknowns, risks, mitigation strategies]
Simple: Focus on sections 1, 3-7, 12 (10-15 pages)Medium: Include sections 1-12 (15-25 pages)Complex: All sections with deep analysis (25-40 pages) See: references/templates.md for section templates
7. Create Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) For each significant decision, create ADR:
# ADR-XXX: [Decision Title]
**Date:** YYYY-MM-DD
**Status:** Proposed | Accepted | Deprecated | Superseded
## Context
[Problem and constraints]
## Decision
[What we decided]
## Alternatives Considered
1. Option A: [pros/cons]
2. Option B: [pros/cons]
3. Option C: [pros/cons]
## Rationale
[Why this option]
## Consequences
[Positive and negative impacts]
## Related Decisions
[Links to other ADRs]
Simple architecture: 3-5 ADRs
Medium architecture: 5-10 ADRs
Complex architecture: 10-15 ADRs
Primary technology stack selection
Database choice
API design approach
State management strategy

Monitoring and observability approach
See: references/adr-examples.md for ADR examples
8. Address Non-Functional Requirements Ensure architecture addresses all NFRs:
Response time targets (p50, p95, p99)
Throughput requirements (req/sec)
Optimization strategies (caching, CDN, lazy loading)
User growth projections
Data growth projections
Horizontal scaling strategy
Bottleneck identification
Authentication and authorization
Data encryption (at rest, in transit)

Compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, etc.)
Availability targets (99%, 99.9%, 99.99%)
Fault tolerance strategies
Disaster recovery plan
Backup and restore procedures
Code organization principles
Testing strategy
Documentation standards
Technical debt management
See: references/nfr-architecture-mapping.md for NFR checklist

Best Practices
Start with requirements - Architecture follows requirements, not the reverseConsider alternatives - Evaluate 3-5 options for major decisionsDocument decisions - Every significant choice becomes an ADRThink long-term - Consider maintenance, scaling, team growthBe pragmatic - Choose appropriate tools, not trendy onesAddress NFRs explicitly - Don't assume performance/securityPlan for failure - Include error handling, monitoring, resilienceKeep it readable - Architecture doc is for humans, not just completeness

When to Escalate
Requirements are insufficient or contradictory
Conflicting NFRs (e.g., cost vs. performance)
Missing critical information (user scale, data volume unknown)
Highly complex system (score >80) requires expert input
Compliance requirements (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC2) need legal review
Technology choices have significant business impact
Budget constraints eliminate viable options
