name: architecture-design description: Design system architecture with components, data flow, and boundaries. Use for non-trivial features.

Architecture Design

Design the component structure and interactions for a feature or system.

Process

1. Review spec.md requirements
2. Identify components and their responsibilities
3. Define data flow between components
4. Establish boundaries (APIs, databases, external services)
5. Document patterns and trade-offs

Output

Create architecture.md using the template in templates/architecture.md.

Tips

• Use Mermaid diagrams for visual clarity
• Keep components single-responsibility
• Consider existing patterns in the codebase
• Document why decisions were made, not just what
• Identify integration points with existing code
