setup-architect skillA

setup-architect is agent-read markdown (skill) from codenamev/ai-software-architect: Sets up and installs the AI Software Architect framework in a NEW project for the FIRST time. Use when the user requests "Setup .architecture", "Setup ai-software-architect", "Initialize architecture framework", "Install software architect", or similar setup/installation phrases. Do NOT use for checking status (use architecture-status), creating documents (use create-adr or reviews), or when framework is already set up..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Setup AI Software Architect Framework

Sets up and customizes the AI Software Architect framework for a project.

## Overview

This skill performs a complete framework installation:
1. Locates the framework source (plugin install dir or legacy clone)
2. Analyzes the target project (languages, frameworks, structure, patterns)
3. Scaffolds `.architecture/` in the target project from framework templates
4. Customizes team members and principles for the detected tech stack
5. Performs an initial system analysis
6. Reports customizations and findings, with explicit next steps

**Detailed procedures**: [references/installation-procedures.md](references/installation-procedures.md)
**Customization guide**: [references/customization-guide.md](references/customization-guide.md)

## What happens when you run `Setup ai-software-architect`

The skill creates a `.architecture/` directory in your **target project** (not in this plugin's repo) and populates it with templates customized for your tech stack. After it finishes you'll have:

- `.architecture/decisions/adrs/` — empty, ready for `create-adr`
- `.architecture/reviews/initial-system-analysis.md` — your team's first pass at the codebase
