Architecture Patterns Skill

Overview

Manage the Architecture Pattern Catalog for the project. Patterns document reusable solutions to recurring design problems with trade-offs and ADR references.

Commands

Create a new pattern

# Create a new pattern from template
cp docs/patterns/_TEMPLATE.md docs/patterns/P-NNNN-<title>.md

Pattern Template

Patterns follow the standard template with sections:

• Status (Draft | Active | Deprecated)
• Category (Structural, Behavioral, Integration, Data, Security)
• Context and Problem
• Solution
• Trade-offs (Pros and Cons)
• Related ADRs
• Examples

Guidelines

• Use sequential numbering: P-0001, P-0002, etc.
• Every pattern must reference at least one ADR
• Include concrete code examples where applicable
• Document trade-offs explicitly
