# Backend Architecture

**Target**: $ARGUMENTS

Creates **focused, streamlined** backend system designs matching stated

requirements exactly. No over-engineering.

## Workflow

1. **Read backend requirements** from specified documents

2. **Validate scope** - Simple data processing vs Complex system architecture

3. **Design minimal solution** matching stated complexity

4. **Create focused deliverables** - single doc for simple, multiple for complex

5. **Use make recipes** for all commands

## Architecture Strategy

**Simple Processing**: Basic functions, lightweight integration, existing patterns

**Complex Systems**: Multi-tiered pipelines, PydanticAI orchestration, async patterns

**Performance targets**: <1s simple operations, scalable for complex systems

## Output Standards

**Simple Tasks**: Single focused backend specification

**Complex Tasks**: Multiple targeted architecture files

**All outputs**: Concise, streamlined, no unnecessary complexity
