Best use case
architect is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Architecture review, design decisions, and ADR writing
Teams using architect should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
