Architect System Skill

Trigger Phrases

This skill is automatically triggered when the user:

• Asks to "design architecture" or "plan system architecture"
• Requests system design or structure
• Wants architectural decisions or patterns
• Mentions "microservices", "monolith", or "system design"
• Asks about scalability or system structure

Delegation Instructions

When this skill is triggered:

1. Delegate immediately to the architect agent
2. Provide system requirements
3. Include scalability and performance needs
4. Specify constraints and context
5. Include any architectural preferences

Context to Pass

• System Requirements: Functional and non-functional requirements
• Scale Requirements: Expected load and growth
• Constraints: Technical or business constraints
• Current Architecture: Existing system structure
• Preferences: Architectural style preferences
• Integration Needs: External system integrations

Agent Responsibilities

The architect agent will:

1. Analyze requirements and constraints
2. Design system architecture
3. Choose appropriate patterns
4. Plan for scalability
5. Ensure maintainability
6. Document architectural decisions

Usage Examples

Example 1: New System Design

User: "Design the architecture for a microservices e-commerce system"

Delegation: Delegate to architect with:

• System: E-commerce platform
• Style: Microservices
• Requirements: Scalability, reliability

Example 2: Architecture Review

User: "Review and improve the current system architecture"

Delegation: Delegate to architect with:

• Task: Architecture review
• Current: Existing architecture
• Goals: Improvements needed

Example 3: Architectural Decision

User: "Should we use microservices or monolith for this project?"

Delegation: Delegate to architect with:

• Decision: Architecture style
• Context: Project requirements
• Constraints: Team size, timeline

Best Practices

• Delegate architecture design to architect agent
• Provide comprehensive requirements
• Include scalability needs
• Specify constraints clearly
• Request detailed design
