When the user needs to design or evaluate system architecture — service boundaries, data models, API contracts, infrastructure topology, database selection, or dependency analysis. Also activate for "design the system", "how should I architect this", "monolith vs microservices", or architecture decision records.

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 Design

## When to Use
- Starting a new product or major feature that needs system design
- Choosing between monolith, modular monolith, microservices, or event-driven patterns
- Selecting a database (SQL vs NoSQL vs specialized) for a new project
- Analyzing dependencies for circular references, coupling issues, or outdated packages
- Creating architecture diagrams (Mermaid, PlantUML, ASCII) for documentation or review
- Writing Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for technical choices
- Evaluating scalability bottlenecks or planning capacity

## Context Required
From `startup-context`: product description, tech stack, current state (prototype/beta/scaling), team size, expected scale (users, requests/sec, data volume). If missing, ask:
- What does this system need to do? (core use cases)
- What scale are you targeting? (users, requests/sec, data size)
- What is your team size and backend experience level?
- Are there hard constraints? (compliance, latency, budget, existing infra)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add maudeunfledged834/startup-founder-skills/architecture-design@sha256:edbd79d7414053b3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260403.b0c6483, 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.
