Architect

Design before implementing. Sketch types, function signatures, class shapes, and module boundaries with not implemented bodies. Synthesize across parallel candidates, then fill in code against the chosen sketch.

Companion to codebase-design, which owns deep-module vocabulary. This skill owns the pre-implementation sketch loop.

Authorized Scope

Apply this engine only within the user's requested task and existing explicit authorization. Loading or delegating to it grants no additional authority. Preserve report-only restrictions and the caller's target, host, provider, and cost limits. Existing approval satisfies a gate only for the same actions and scope; obtain approval before expanding them. Forward these limits to delegates.
