architecture-compass SKILL.md skillA
architecture-compass from techygarg/lattice is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add techygarg/lattice/architecture-compass@git:20261009.a96f344Pins git:20261009.a96f344 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Architectural thinking partner for an existing repository — scans the codebase, conducts a structured interview, agrees on current architectural state and recommended direction, and produces a shareable insights document. Scoped to one repository, module, or folder. Does not execute transformation — it orients. Use when the user says 'assess my codebase architecture', 'what direction should my codebase go', 'architecture compass', 'understand my architecture', 'audit architecture drift'…
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 Compass ## Required Skills Read, apply: 1. `framework:knowledge-priming` -- Load codebase context: language, framework, structure, conventions (always) 2. `framework:architecture` -- Architectural audit lens and recommended direction guardrails (always) 3. `framework:domain-driven-design` -- Strategic DDD only: bounded contexts, domain seams (conditional: only when domain complexity warrants it) 4. `framework:collaborative-judgment` -- Surface judgment calls during co-design rounds (always) ## Additional Instructions **STOP: Before Step 1, read `additional_instructions.architecture_compass` (one line or a list) from `.lattice/config.yaml`.** No file or no key → skip silently. When lines are found: 1. Show them verbatim under "Additional instructions (from config):". 2. **Highest priority — apply them for the whole session, including on resume.** On any conflict with anything else in this skill — steps, gates, STOP rules — or with its Required Skills, standards documents, or operational learnings, the config line wins. ## Workflow ### Step 1: Load Existing Context …

How to install
mdr add techygarg/lattice/architecture-compass@sha256:2619d3e6bdc22538The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.a96f344, 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.
