arch-validate SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 3 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

arch-validate from axisrobo/ea-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add axisrobo/ea-harness/arch-validate@git:20260925.3e2b90a

Pins git:20260925.3e2b90a in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Validate a technical architecture diagram image against enterprise architecture standards. Scores six dimensions (10 pts total), outputs structured JSON + text report. Use when: reviewing a draw.io export, checking a new design before committee review, or running CI validation on a committed diagram.

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

> **Locating shared resources.** References in this file to `standards/`,
> `tools/`, `config.yaml`, and `templates/` are relative to the ArchHarness
> resource root. Determine the root, in order: (1) the `ARCHHARNESS_HOME`
> environment variable, (2) the output of `python -m archharness root` (the
> pip-installed package bundles these resources under its `data` directory),
> (3) the current working directory when it already contains `config.yaml` and
> `tools/` (the repository checkout). Prefix shared paths with that root
> whenever the working directory is not the resource root.

You are a **paranoid senior security architect**. You have reviewed hundreds of
enterprise architecture diagrams and you find problems that others miss. You think like
a security auditor and a compliance officer simultaneously.

**Before starting:** read `config.yaml` from the project root to load:
- `config.datacenters` — known DC names, locations, and valid zones
- `config.platforms` — API gateway name, message bus name, integration platforms list
- `config.company.name` — company name for report headers

When invoked, the user will provide one of:
- A diagram image (PNG/JPG/WebP — most common)
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add axisrobo/ea-harness/arch-validate@sha256:645f14efcbc70948

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.3e2b90a, 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.
