Architecture Refinement

Produce a decision-ready architecture brief covering workload, constraints, quality attributes, and assumptions. Do not make technology choices – this skill only gathers requirements.

Process

Step 1: Project Context

Ask the user:

1. Project Overview: What is being built? (e.g., SaaS platform, mobile backend, data pipeline).
2. Domain Boundaries: What are the main functional domains/capabilities?
3. Data Flows: How does data move through the system?

Start from the user prompt and the attached files or links. When Figma is available use Figma MCP. if the MCP is not available instruct the user how to activate it. If the prompt or the app spec (might be an attached md file doesn't answer all the questions, communicate with the user to get the missing answers).

Step 2: Workload Profile
