Senior Architect
Skill Verified ActiveThis skill should be used when the user asks to "design system architecture", "evaluate microservices vs monolith", "create architecture diagrams", "analyze dependencies", "choose a database", "plan for scalability", "make technical decisions", or "review system design". Use for architecture decision records (ADRs), tech stack evaluation, system design reviews, dependency analysis, and generating architecture diagrams in Mermaid, PlantUML, or ASCII format.
To assist users in designing, evaluating, and visualizing system architecture, making informed technical decisions, and improving project code quality through automated analysis.
Features
- Generates architecture diagrams (Mermaid, PlantUML, ASCII)
- Analyzes project dependencies for coupling and circularity
- Assesses project architecture patterns and code quality
- Provides recommendations for refactoring and improvement
- Supports multiple programming languages and package managers
Use Cases
- Designing new system architectures
- Evaluating microservices vs. monolith patterns
- Creating architecture decision records (ADRs)
- Reviewing system design for scalability and maintainability
- Analyzing project dependencies and identifying technical debt
Non-Goals
- Performing code execution or modification
- Acting as a debugger or test runner
- Providing real-time code completion
- Managing cloud infrastructure deployments
Workflow
- Scan project structure to identify components and dependencies.
- Analyze dependencies for coupling, circularity, and outdated packages.
- Detect architectural patterns and code quality issues.
- Generate diagrams (component, layer, deployment) or reports.
- Provide recommendations for improvement.
Practices
- Architecture Design
- Code Quality
- Dependency Management
Prerequisites

Pathfinder
100Map a codebase into feature-grouped flowcharts, identify duplicated concerns across features, and propose a unified architecture. Use when asked to "find the ideal path," unify duplicated systems, or audit architecture before a refactor. Emits a proposed unified flowchart plus per-system /make-plan prompts.
Understand
100Analyze a codebase to produce an interactive knowledge graph for understanding architecture, components, and relationships
Cleanup Cycles
100Detect and untangle circular dependencies. Runs madge/skott (TS), pycycle (Py), or compiler-only checks (Go/Rust). Auto-fixes leaf-extractable cycles; reports core cycles for human review. Use when the user asks to find circular imports, fix dependency cycles, or untangle module graph. Example queries — "find circular imports", "fix dependency cycles", "untangle our module graph", "why is madge complaining".
System Design
99Design scalable distributed systems using structured approaches for load balancing, caching, database scaling, and message queues. Use when the user mentions "system design", "scale this", "high availability", "rate limiter", "design a URL shortener", "system design interview", "capacity planning", or "distributed architecture". Also trigger when estimating infrastructure requirements, choosing between microservices and monoliths, or designing for millions of concurrent users. Covers common system designs and back-of-the-envelope estimation. For data fundamentals, see ddia-systems. For resilience, see release-it.
Assess Form
99Evaluate a system's current structural form, identify transformation pressure, and classify transformation readiness. Covers structural inventory, pressure mapping, rigidity assessment, change capacity estimation, and readiness classification for architectural metamorphosis. Use before any significant architectural change to understand the starting point, when a system feels stuck without clear reasons, when external pressure from growth or tech debt is mounting, or as periodic health checks for long-lived systems.
V3 Ddd Architecture
100Domain-Driven Design architecture for claude-flow v3. Implements modular, bounded context architecture with clean separation of concerns and microkernel pattern.
