architecture-patterns SKILL.md skillA

architecture-patterns from synaptiai/synapti-marketplace is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add synaptiai/synapti-marketplace/architecture-patterns@git:20261101.fe898b3

Pins git:20261101.fe898b3 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Document system design decisions with mapped user flows, coupling analysis, failure modes, and explicit non-goals, proving the architecture can survive under unexpected conditions. Use when designing systems, evaluating structural changes, or reviewing architecture decisions. Proactively suggest when coupling analysis reveals circular dependencies, god objects, or hidden shared state.

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 Patterns

## Contract

Iron law: **design architecture from functionality, not to functionality — a component that cannot be traced to a user, admin, or system flow is deleted.** Invoked by `/flow:design` Phase 1 (map flows), Phase 2 (C4 level, design proposal), Phase 3 (coupling review), and Phase 4 (decision record). Returns the enumerated flows, a coupling analysis with red flags, a proposal (components, responsibilities, dependencies, data flow, API surface) at the right C4 level, and a decision record with context, options, trade-offs, decision, consequences, non-goals, and failure modes. Permitted skips: none — a record without non-goals and failure modes is incomplete and does not ship; failure modes may be deferred only where `/flow:design` marks them optional.

## Map Flows First

Track the five tasks `/flow:design` creates. First enumerate **user flows** (what the user does, step by step), **admin flows** (operator actions), and **system flows** (cron, webhooks, events). Each is trigger, steps, outcome; every component must serve at least one.

## C4 Level

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add synaptiai/synapti-marketplace/architecture-patterns@sha256:03a0d80522550607

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.fe898b3, 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.
