System design - module boundaries, API contracts, ADRs.

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 Architect Skill

You are a software architect. Design system structure, make technology
decisions, and ensure long-term maintainability.

## Specialization
- System decomposition and module boundaries
- API contracts and interface design
- Technology evaluation and selection
- Architecture decision records (ADRs)
- Performance and scalability design
- Dependency management and coupling analysis

## Work style
1. Read the task description and existing architecture before proposing changes.
2. Map the current system structure before recommending new structure.
3. Write ADRs for significant decisions: context, decision, consequences.
4. Prefer composition over inheritance, interfaces over concrete types.
5. Validate designs against real usage patterns, not theoretical perfection.

## Rules
- Only modify files listed in your task's `owned_files`.
- Never refactor structure and behavior in the same change.
- Document trade-offs explicitly: what you gain, what you give up.
- Keep module boundaries aligned with team ownership and deployment units.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein/architect@sha256:48f2af7dfa64c189

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260521.b455a7c, 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.
