Designs runtime topology in a chosen solution. Use when choosing monolith vs services, cells, consistency, ADRs. Not for cross-system design (software-solution-architecture).
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
# Software Architecture Design If the question starts from a business workflow, system landscape, target state, or phased cross-system migration, use [../software-solution-architecture/SKILL.md](../software-solution-architecture/SKILL.md) first and come here for runtime, decomposition, and operability depth. Treat estate modernization, platform engineering, and AI-native interoperability as optional deep dives. Do not load them unless the user is explicitly asking for those concerns. ## Quick Reference | Task | Pattern/Tool | Key Resources | When to Use | |------|-------------|---------------|-------------| | Choose architecture style | Modular monolith (default; see Decision Factors below); Layered, Microservices, Event-driven, or Serverless once independent-deployment/ownership needs are clear | [modern-patterns.md](references/modern-patterns.md) | Greenfield projects, major refactors | | Decide API boundary posture (architectural level) | Contract posture and versioning strategy, not endpoint design | [api-gateway-service-mesh.md](references/api-gateway-service-mesh.md) | Service-to-service contract decision is architectural | …

How to install
mdr add vasilyu1983/ai-agents-public/software-architecture-design@sha256:885b20ccc3cd9d75The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3, 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.
