Design and review software architectures from business drivers through system boundaries, tradeoffs, runtime behavior, evolution, and architecture practice. Use when choosing a greenfield or target architecture, comparing modular-monolith and service shapes, designing distributed consistency, replication, partitioning, coordination, ordering, transaction isolation, or failure behavior, defining architecture fitness evidence, or facilitating a consequential architecture review. Do not use for…
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
# Software Architecture Use this skill to make system-level design decisions and leave an inspectable path from drivers to evidence. It owns the architecture decision workflow, not the implementation of any subsystem. ## Workflow 1. **Frame the decision.** Establish the desired outcome, stakeholders, constraints, decision horizon, reversibility, affected systems, and evidence gaps. Do not invent scale, regulatory, latency, or ownership facts. 2. **Turn qualities into scenarios.** Name the architecture characteristics that matter, express each as an observable scenario, prioritize them, and expose conflicts. Load `references/architecture-characteristics-and-tradeoffs.md`. 3. **Choose boundaries and shape.** Compare styles, topology, and deployment granularity against the scenarios and team operating capacity. Load `references/styles-topologies-and-granularity.md`. 4. **Test ownership and coupling.** Identify policy, data, change, runtime, and team boundaries. Treat a service split as a hypothesis, not a default. Load `references/coupling-modularity-and-data-ownership.md`. …

How to install
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/software-architecture@sha256:a38b4b7996b99a72The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260821.00e611a, 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.
