File-by-file architecture planning with ADR format, dependency ordering, and testability gates. Use when designing system architecture or creating ADRs. TRIGGER when: architecture plan, system design, ADR, file breakdown, component design. DO NOT TRIGGER when: simple config edits, single-file bug fixes, documentation-only changes.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Architecture Patterns Enforcement Skill

Ensures every architecture plan is thorough, actionable, and testable. Used by the planner agent.

## Decision Framework

Every architectural decision MUST follow this structure:

### 1. Problem Statement
- What problem are we solving?
- What are the constraints (performance, compatibility, timeline)?
- What does PROJECT.md say about scope?

### 2. Options Analysis
- Minimum 2 alternatives considered
- Each option has explicit pros and cons
- Effort estimate for each (low/medium/high)

### 3. Recommendation
- Which option and why
- What tradeoffs are we accepting
- What risks remain

---

## Plan Structure Requirements

Every architecture plan MUST include:

### File-by-File Breakdown
```
## Files to Create/Modify

### 1. lib/new_module.py (CREATE)
- Purpose: [what this file does]
- Key classes/functions: [list]
- Dependencies: [what it imports]
- Tests: tests/unit/test_new_module.py

### 2. lib/existing_module.py (MODIFY)
- Changes: [what changes and why]
- Lines affected: ~[range]
- Risk: [low/medium/high]
```

### Ordered Steps with Dependencies
```
## Implementation Order

1. Create lib/new_module.py (no dependencies)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add akaszubski/autonomous-dev/architecture-patterns@sha256:281571739aeb370a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260317.e64d556, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
