Overview
Ensure the delivery team adheres to vetted architecture decisions and tech stack governance. This Skill streamlines architecture reviews, diagram validation, and readiness checks before development sprints begin.
When to Use
- •Translating UI/UX outputs into technical implementation plans.
- •Conducting pre-sprint readiness or design reviews.
- •Vetting expansions or Skills that introduce new services or infrastructure.
Workflow
- •Assemble architecture baseline
- •Load the latest architecture template from
aidesigner-core/templates/fullstack-architecture-tmpl.yaml. - •Import system context, deployment, and sequence diagrams.
- •Identify any deviations from the approved reference architecture.
- •Load the latest architecture template from
- •Tech stack governance
- •Validate service language/framework choices against the approved stack table.
- •Document dependencies, data stores, and integration patterns.
- •Flag risks for security, scalability, or compliance review.
- •Cross-functional review
- •Schedule an architecture QA session with engineering, security, and product.
- •Use architecture checklists from
aidesigner-core/checklists/to drive the conversation. - •Capture decisions and follow-ups in the architecture log.
- •Readiness certification
- •(Note:
bin/aidesigner architecture validateis planned but not yet implemented) - •Manually review diagrams and specs to ensure they meet completeness criteria.
- •Confirm observability, deployment, and rollback strategies are documented.
- •Approve or gate entry into sprint planning based on readiness.
- •(Note:
- •Feedback loop
- •Feed approved decisions back into the UI and discovery Skills for traceability.
- •Update Skill artifacts to keep the governance model synchronized.
Checklists
- • Architecture diagrams updated and versioned.
- • Tech stack selections reviewed against governance matrix.
- • Non-functional requirements captured (performance, security, privacy).
- • Validation tooling run with zero blocking issues.
- • Decisions recorded with clear owners and due dates.
Tips
- •Leverage MCP automation to fetch infrastructure inventories or cost baselines.
- •Pair this Skill with Expansion Creator Enablement when packaging domain-specific architecture patterns.
- •Maintain a shared architecture decision register for audit readiness.
Next Steps
Once architecture is approved, transition into implementation planning or activate Expansion Creator Enablement to share the blueprint with partner teams.
