Recommends which /arckit:* commands to run, and in what order, for a new or in-flight architecture project, from a short triage of sector, project type, current stage and timeline. Backs /arckit:start. Not needed when the user has already named the command they want, or is asking about the content of an artefact rather than the sequence.

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 Workflow

Guides users through project onboarding using adaptive-depth questions and recommends a tailored command sequence.

<HARD-GATE>
Do NOT run any `/arckit:*` commands during this process. Your only output is a recommended command plan. The user decides when and what to execute. This applies regardless of how simple the project seems.
</HARD-GATE>

## Anti-Patterns

### "I already know what I need"

Even experienced architects benefit from the triage. It catches blind spots — missing compliance requirements, forgotten dependencies, stakeholder gaps. The triage is fast (3-4 questions). Skip it and you risk generating artifacts in the wrong order or missing mandatory prerequisites.

### "Just run everything"

A 30-command sequence helps nobody. The skill's job is to recommend the *right* commands for *this* project, in the *right* order. Every project is different — a compliance review needs 6 commands, not 30.

## Process

Follow these steps in order. Ask questions one at a time using AskUserQuestion. Prefer multiple-choice options.

### Step 1: Detect Project State

Automatically check the project context (no questions needed):

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tractorjuice/arckit-claude/architecture-workflow@sha256:79d120efaefc18ac

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.754c23b, 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.
