Analyze significant cross-module or process-level structural changes before implementing them. Use when adding a subsystem, redesigning a major flow, changing authentication architecture, introducing workers/queues/background services, integrating an external provider, creating shared infrastructure, changing module boundaries or communication, scaffolding a new project or its first feature, or when the user asks how something should be built. Not for matching or reusing existing code patterns…

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 Review

## Principle

Prefer the smallest architecture change that solves the real problem. Do not introduce unnecessary abstraction.

## Inspect

- Current architecture and module boundaries.
- Affected modules and their responsibilities.
- Ownership boundaries: who owns a responsibility, and where it must not leak.
- Data flow across the change, including persistence and external calls.
- Dependency direction; flag cycles and inverted dependencies.
- Failure boundaries: what happens when each dependency fails, times out, or returns partial results.
- Lifecycle and process ownership, especially for long-running work such as workers, queues, schedulers, and background services.
- Compatibility with existing conventions, patterns, and naming.

## Evaluate

- Alternatives with their tradeoffs, including doing nothing.
- Migration path from the current structure, and whether it can be incremental.
- Rollback and coexistence during rollout.
- Operational cost: observability, failure modes, and new failure surfaces.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add frnkgns/gentjinskills/architecture-review@sha256:086bf305fc9d14ce

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.a142223, 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.
