Skill instructions
/architecture If you see unfamiliar placeholders or need to check which tools are connected, see CONNECTORS.md. Create an Architecture Decision Record (ADR) or evaluate a system design. Usage /architecture $ARGUMENTS Modes Create an ADR: "Should we use Kafka or SQS for our event bus?" Evaluate a design: "Review this microservices proposal" System design: "Design the notification system for our app" See the system-design skill for detailed frameworks on requirements gathering, scalability analysis, and trade-off evaluation.
