Architecture Advisor

This skill routes to the architecture-advisor agent — a principal software architect (Opus, plan mode) that provides strategic guidance on system design, technology evaluation, and architectural decisions.

When to Use

• Designing new system components or services
• Evaluating technology choices (build vs. buy, library selection)
• Planning large-scale migrations or refactors
• Assessing technical debt and prioritizing remediation
• Creating Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for docs/adr/
• Reviewing system design for quality attributes (scalability, maintainability, security)

What the Agent Does

The architecture-advisor agent operates in plan mode — it researches the codebase, analyzes the current architecture, and presents a recommended approach for your approval before any changes are made.
