Architecture and implementation planning gate for complex or high-blast-radius work. Produces evidence-backed decisions, reviewable slices, acceptance evidence, and conditional human review ownership without editing 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 Architecture and implementation planning before coding. Use this skill to spend deliberate reasoning budget on the plan, while leaving the implementation itself free to use a cheaper/faster model when the plan is clear. ## When to Use Use `/architect` for tasks with architectural uncertainty, high blast radius, or expensive mistakes: - Cross-module, cross-service, or multi-repo changes - New abstractions, boundaries, workflows, or domain model changes - Database/schema migrations or data backfills - Public APIs, event schemas, contracts, SDKs, or integrations - Auth, permissions, privacy, compliance, or security-sensitive work - Performance, scalability, resiliency, or concurrency-sensitive changes - Hard-to-reverse decisions - Ambiguous requirements or multiple plausible approaches - Work likely to split into several commits, beads, tickets, or PRs - Any task where the user explicitly asks for architecture, design, planning, or approach Usually skip it for: - Small bug fixes with obvious locality - Copy/text tweaks - Simple CSS/layout adjustments - Mechanical dependency bumps - Straightforward test additions …

How to install
mdr add flurdy/agent-skills/architect@sha256:e5d9ae8ae9ab2a0cThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1.0, 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.
