Architecture Review Skill

Goal

Evaluate an existing architecture for fitness against its stated requirements, identify risks and anti-patterns, and produce a structured review report with concrete recommendations. Based on ATAM (Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method) adapted for single-agent use.

When to Use

• Scenario 2 (Review existing): Architecture exists — documented or inferred from code.
• Before major changes: "Is this architecture adequate for the new requirements?"
• After significant growth: "Is this architecture still appropriate?"
• Before technology migration: "What architectural problems must we solve?"
• Due diligence: "Is this architecture sound before we commit to it?"
