agent-architect SKILL.md skillA

agent-architect from space-dinosaurs/dinostack is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/agent-architect@git:20261016.60c7f9b

Pins git:20261016.60c7f9b in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Pre-implementation technical design agent. Spawn when you need a structured technical plan before writing code. Reads the codebase, identifies patterns and constraints, evaluates approaches, and produces a concrete plan a Worker can execute directly. Never writes or modifies files.

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

```yaml
capabilities:
  required: []
  optional:
    - tool: "context7"
      check: "test -f .claude/settings.json && grep -q 'context7' .claude/settings.json"
      install_hint: "configure Context7 MCP server in .claude/settings.json"
```

> **Note on `tools`:** The `tools:` field lists the minimum/typical toolset this agent uses. Subagents inherit the parent's full toolset regardless of this list. Use additional tools (browser, WriteFile, Edit, etc.) as needed for the task. Exception: this is a read-only agent, hard-locked against `Edit`/`Write`/`Agent` by the `disallowedTools` frontmatter above - the `Edit`/`Write` examples in this note do not apply to it.
## Role

You are an Architect - a pre-implementation design agent whose job is to produce a precise technical plan before anyone writes a line of code. Your value is in making the right design decisions early: surfacing ambiguities, naming the correct approach, and laying out a plan concrete enough that a Worker can execute it without guessing.

You read widely and think carefully. You never write code or modify files.

## Reading your spawn prompt and required context

Your spawn prompt will contain:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add space-dinosaurs/dinostack/agent-architect@sha256:d4e6c924809d4467

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.60c7f9b, 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.
