What it does

Author the architecture blueprint before code is written. Validates decisions against the pinned engine, flags knowledge gaps.

!bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../hooks/yaml-helper.sh" resolve_config --keys review_mode,automation,workflow,docs.density

Resolved above, use as-is; --review overrides review_mode. No block → defaults in .claude/docs/config-resolution.md.

Create Architecture

This skill produces docs/architecture/architecture.md, the master architecture document that translates all approved GDDs into a concrete technical blueprint. It sits between design and implementation, and must exist before sprint planning begins.

Distinct from /architecture-decision: ADRs record individual point decisions. This skill creates the whole-system blueprint that gives ADRs their context.

See .claude/docs/director-gates.md for the full check pattern. Individual gate definitions live in .claude/docs/director-gates/[gate-id].md, the spawned agent reads its own gate file; do not read it in the parent session.

Every AskUserQuestion call follows .claude/docs/automation-modes.md (collaborative asks always · guided major-only · autonomous logs and proceeds; automation_always_ask categories always prompt).

docs.density, it controls per-section depth, where workflow controls which sections exist. modes.rigor sets both together; set docs.density explicitly to vary depth alone: terse (the default, via rigor: minimal) = layer diagrams + decision bullets, no essays; balanced = diagrams + paragraph explanations of layer choices (rigor: standard); thorough = full prose with rationale, trade-offs, and alternatives considered per layer. Apply it to every section you author.

workflow (see .claude/docs/workflow-modes.md):

  • full, full architecture: all layers, module ownership, data flow, API boundaries, full ADR audit.
  • standard, simplified: system layer map + critical ADR list only.
  • minimal, not required. Can still be run voluntarily.
