| description | Architecture design reasoned forward from requirements. Use when the user wants a fresh-mind design pass — "design an architecture for", "how would you build", "redesign from scratch" — or when repeated follow-up patches accumulate on the same module. Repeated follow-up patches landing on the same module (~3rd) → stop patching, invoke this skill to re-derive from the full requirement set. |

$ARGUMENTS
Design an architecture for the topic above by reasoning forward from requirements. If a codebase exists, you may Read/Grep it — but only as evidence to evaluate, not as a frame to fit the new design into.
Mindset
Catch yourself in any of these and stop — they are migration concerns smuggled in as design concerns:
- "the current code does X, so the new design should look similar"
- "we need to stay backward-compatible with X"
- "let's stick to the existing module boundaries / pattern / abstractions"
- "let's not be too aggressive / disruptive / far from what the team knows"
- "X is already wired up, so reuse it"
If a current pattern survives, it survives on merit — because it is the right answer when reasoned forward from requirements — not because it is already there.
Checklist
Think through these points mentally:
