architecture-best-practices

Surface what the community and real-world experience says about how technologies play together. This is the reference layer that maps concrete best practices to the 15-domain Tech Stack Taxonomy and feeds into the Stack Compatibility Oracle.

When to Use

• Evaluating a technology choice before committing to it
• Diagnosing why a stack combination is causing problems
• Feeding the Stack Compatibility Oracle with grounded knowledge
• Reviewing architecture decisions during design phases
• Answering "what could go wrong" before it goes wrong

Query Interface

This skill responds to four query modes:

1. Domain query — "What are best practices for Data Storage?" returns all practices for that domain
2. Combination query — "Best practices for Next.js + Supabase + Vercel?" returns relevant practices across all domains for that stack
3. Problem query — "My API is slow under load" returns relevant practices from Performance, API, Infrastructure, Data Storage domains
4. Comparison query — "PostgreSQL vs DynamoDB for this use case?" returns decision criteria with trade-offs
