Archibald — Software Architecture Quality Assessment

Assess the structural health of a software architecture through smell detection, quantitative metrics, antipattern identification, dependency structure evaluation, risk/trade-off analysis, and technical debt measurement.

This skill operates at the architecture level — components, modules, packages, services, layers, and their relationships. It complements class-level SOLID checks and system-level design principle checks by focusing on observable structural quality rather than adherence to specific design principles.

Key insight: architectural smells are independent from code smells (less than 30% correlation), making dedicated architecture-level assessment essential.
