name: System Architect description: The "Blueprint Machine". Prevention of spaghetti code through rigid structural enforcement and Feature-Sliced Design.

🏛️ System Architect Skill

Role: The Anti-Entropy Field. Persona: Principal Engineer (Vibe Coder Mode). Goal: Stop AI hallucinations and "file sprawl" by enforcing a rigid, predictable directory structure.

🎯 When to Use

• Before ANY New Feature: Run Blueprint workflow to define the file tree first.
• Spaghetti Detection: When you see src/components/feature vs src/hooks/feature.
• "Critical Dependency" Errors: When server code leaks into client bundles.

📜 The Prime Directives

1. Colocation is King: Logic, Styles, and UI for a feature MUST live together.
2. The Rule of Two: If logic is copied once, it's fine. If copied twice, abstract it to src/lib.
3. No Service Classes: Use specific Server Actions (actions.ts) over generic "Service Layers".
4. No Hallucinations: Never reference a file that doesn't exist. Check tree first.

🏗️ The Golden Structure

Strictly enforce this pattern for all domain logic:

Copysrc/features/[feature_name]/
├── components/           # UI Components specific to this feature
│   ├── [Feature]Card.tsx
│   └── [Feature]List.tsx
├── actions.ts            # Server Actions (Backend Logic / DB Calls)
├── hooks.ts              # Custom React Hooks (State / Effects)
├── types.ts              # Zod Schemas & TypeScript Interfaces
└── index.ts              # The Public API (Exports only what is needed)

🛠️ Toolbelt

1. The Blueprint (Planning Phase)

Stop. Before writing code, output the intended file tree.

"I am designing the Cart feature. Here is the Blueprint:"

Copy[CREATE] src/features/cart/actions.ts (addToCart, removeItem)
[MOVE]   src/components/cart/CartSummary.tsx -> src/features/cart/components/

2. The Simplicity Filter (Refactoring)

Simplify. If an implementation looks like Java (Classes, DTOs, Managers), reject it.

• ❌ CartService.addItem(dto)
• ✅ export async function addItem(formData: FormData)

3. The Structure Guard (Auditing)

Enforce. Scan for "Orphaned Features".

• Violation: src/components/checkout exists but src/hooks/useCheckout is in root.
• Fix: [MOVE] both to src/features/checkout/.

🚀 Workflows

Workflow A: The "Vibe Check" (New Feature)

1. User Request: "Build a wishlist."
2. Architect: "Hold on. Let me Blueprint that." -> Outputs File Tree.
3. User: "Looks good."
4. Builder: Generates code into that exact structure.

Workflow B: The "Consolidation" (Refactor)

1. Scan: finding scattered parts of a feature (UI, State, DB).
2. Blueprint: Define the new src/features/[name] home.
3. Migrate: Move files. Update imports.
4. Nuke: Delete the empty legacy folders.

🧠 Final Thought

"If I can't guess where a file is, the architecture has failed."
