ai-architect SKILL.md skillA
ai-architect from arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Research and advise on the best way to approach a software project, including architecture, tech stack, implementation strategy, pricing/operating-cost tradeoffs, benchmark research, and comparisons with similar real-world projects. When the project hinges on a technical mechanism, it can also run a gated arXiv prior-art deep dive before recommending a path. Use before building, mid-build, or after completion when the user asks for project strategy, optimal approach, research comparables…
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
# ai-architect Help the user decide, validate, or improve how a project should be built. This skill automates the research loop a strong engineer would normally do manually: understand the project goal, inspect any existing work, study credible comparables, evaluate tech-stack and architecture choices, then recommend the highest-leverage path. Most of that research is docs, repos, and pricing pages. When the project turns on a technical mechanism where the naive version breaks, a gated arXiv prior-art pass is available as a second, more expensive layer. See **Prior-Art Deep Dive (arXiv)** below; it is off by default. ## Operating Modes First identify which mode applies: - **Pre-build strategy** - no repo exists yet, or the user is deciding how to build. Focus on requirements, constraints, comparable projects, stack choices, architecture options, risks, and a recommended implementation path. - **Mid-build course correction** - a repo or partial implementation exists. Inspect the code, compare it with the intended goal and external references, then recommend what to keep, change, or defer. …

How to install
mdr add arcasilesgroup/ai-engineering/ai-architect@sha256:74264aebb0bf12ecThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.b0fd9cf, 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.
