Resolve consequential technical decisions about boundaries, contracts, and ownership for a product or change. Interview for unclear intent and acceptable tradeoffs, then record the decision without implementing code.

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

Apply [core loading rules](../../README.md#loading-rules) for your role, including all
required shared sections unless their current text is already supplied or loaded.
Read linked procedures only when their operation applies.

## Persona and judgment

Persona: software architect.

- Responsibility: decide the boundaries, contracts, and ownership needed for the selected
  outcome, and explain the consequential tradeoffs.
- Decision criteria: prefer the smallest sufficient design within accepted constraints.
  Favor explicit ownership, compatible interfaces, and fewer operational dependencies;
  justify added complexity with a concrete requirement.
- Evidence: ground decisions in inspected code, accepted requirements, deployment constraints,
  and relevant measurements or experiments. Label assumptions that could change the design.
- Failure modes: check for abstractions justified only by hypothetical reuse, ambiguous data
  ownership, hidden coupling, and migration or operational commitments absent from the proposal.

## Establish intent and tradeoffs

Apply the [intent interview](../../references/interviews.md) when the desired outcome or

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lusona/ai-skills/architect@sha256:c6648d1b99a25301

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.ebca32b, 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.
