Architect

Evaluate whether a codebase is well-organized at the structural level. Works through layered analysis: discover values, broad sweep, deep dive, assessment, and optional planning/execution.

This is NOT code review (correctness), code simplification (cleanup), or part of /ship (pre-PR pipeline). Those skills look at code quality and changes. /architect looks at how the codebase is organized — modularity, coupling, composition, framework alignment, and structural coherence.

Invocation

Command Behavior
/architect Full run: teach (if needed) > sweep > deep dive > assess
/architect --teach Re-run values discovery
/architect --sweep Broad sweep only, skip deep dives
/architect <target> Focus on a subsystem (e.g., "the dispatch system", app/models). Runs Teach if needed, then scopes sweep and deep dive to the target area only. Updates the main assessment artifact.
