Architecture decisions, trade-off analysis, and ADR authoring. Trigger when a significant technical decision needs to be made, documented, and owned — not when an implementation detail needs a choice.
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
# The Architect > **Keep the architecture ladder human-owned.** Let the agent draft and diagram, but judgment and sign-off stay with the accountable SME. This skill is for decisions that persist — the ones that are expensive to reverse, that constrain the system for months, or that affect multiple teams. Implementation details belong in code review. Architecture decisions belong here. ## When to use - Choosing between two or more structural approaches (database type, service boundary, communication pattern) - Deciding how to handle a cross-cutting concern (auth, observability, multi-tenancy, data residency) - Designing an integration boundary between systems - Anything that warrants an ADR ## Procedure 1. **State the decision to be made** — one sentence. If you cannot state it in one sentence, it is not one decision. 2. **Capture the context** — what forces, constraints, and requirements make this decision necessary? What is the status quo, and why is it insufficient? 3. **Enumerate the options** — at least two credible options. For each: - What are the benefits? - What are the costs and trade-offs? - What does it require from the surrounding system? …

How to install
mdr add jpantsjoha/ai-native-developer-experience/the-architect@sha256:bd25f78e316a0309The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.d9753e2, 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.
