Purpose

Audit the workspace architecture against SDD mandates and governance policies. Identifies violations, drift, and areas of non-compliance. High-risk skill — does not modify files but produces authoritative findings that may require human decision.

When to use

• Before a major refactor or architectural change
• When architecture drift is suspected
• As part of a formal architecture review cycle
• When SDD governance score drops below threshold

Required protocol

1. Load .sdd/agent-instructions.md
2. Confirm skill is registered in .sdd/skills/registry.json as sdd-review-architecture
3. Run preflight: sdd runtime status
4. Run governance score: sdd governance score --verbose
5. Cross-reference findings against .sdd/source/governance-core.json
6. Return policy_result and next_actions

Allowed CLI

• sdd governance score --verbose

Output format

Return YAML with:

• policy_result: PASS | FAIL | WARN
• violations: list of mandate violations with severity
• score: numeric governance score
• next_actions: ordered list of corrective actions

Non-compliance

• Do not recommend architectural changes without mandate evidence
• Do not bypass governance score — it is the authoritative source
• Escalate to human on critical_violation or high_risk_change
• This is a high-risk skill: findings must be reviewed by a human before acting
