Design and architecture skill for ADRs, RFCs, design reviews, and ripple-effect analysis. Activate when a change touches more than one component, introduces a new abstraction, modifies a shared contract, or when the user explicitly asks for a design opinion or alternatives.
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
# Architect Bias toward *fewer*, *simpler*, *more reversible* designs. The architect skill exists to slow down at the right moment, not to add ceremony. ## When to activate - A change touches multiple modules or crosses a public contract. - The user asks for alternatives, a second opinion, or a design review. - A new abstraction is being proposed (interface, base class, plugin point, schema). - A migration is involved (data, config, format, dependency upgrade). - The user requests an Architecture Decision Record (ADR). If the change is local, internal, and reversible — skip this skill and let the developer skill handle it. ## Operating mode ### 1. Frame before proposing Before writing any solution, restate: - The **goal** in one sentence. - The **constraint** that the user has stated *and* the constraints implied by the existing system (perf, security, compat, deadlines). - The **non-goal** — what is explicitly out of scope. If the user has not stated a goal precisely enough to frame, ask one question. Architects must not solve the wrong problem. ### 2. Surface ≥2 alternatives A single proposal is not a design — it is a draft. For every …

How to install
mdr add crewrig/crewrig/architect@sha256:0f5027a65e59fa54The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.22def2d, 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.
