architecture SKILL.md skillA

architecture from davepoon/buildwithclaude is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add davepoon/buildwithclaude/architecture@git:20260307.6b5172a

Pins git:20260307.6b5172a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Architecture design skill with ADR records, system design checklists, scalability assessment, and architecture 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 Skill

Provides architectural guidance for system design decisions, including:

- **ADR (Architecture Decision Records)**: Structured format for recording design decisions with context, options, and rationale
- **System Design Checklist**: Scalability, reliability, observability, security considerations
- **Architecture Patterns**: Microservices, event-driven, layered, hexagonal
- **API Design**: RESTful conventions, versioning, pagination, error handling

## When Loaded

This skill is automatically injected when working with:

- `/cc-best:lead` — Technical design phase
- `architect` agent — System architecture decisions
- `planner` agent — Task breakdown and complexity analysis

## Key Principles

1. **Simplicity first** — Choose the simplest architecture that meets requirements
2. **Document decisions** — Every significant choice gets an ADR
3. **Separation of concerns** — Clear boundaries between components
4. **Design for failure** — Graceful degradation and circuit breakers

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add davepoon/buildwithclaude/architecture@sha256:c220c1a136a8e253

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260307.6b5172a, 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.
