Agent Architecture Designer

Imported specialist agent skill for architecture designer. Use when requests match this domain or role.

Security Scan

The skill's description fits an architecture-designer role, but the instructions reference reading local agent files and using powerful tools (bash, curl, containers, load tests) while the skill declares no required tools, env vars, or install — this mismatch is concerning and worth caution.

Purpose & Capability

SKILL.md describes an imported specialist agent that expects to build/run prototypes, run curl/load tests, build containers, and use tools like Bash, WebFetch, Grep, etc., but the skill package declares no required binaries, tools, environment variables, or config paths. The exported metadata also points to an absolute source path in a home directory (/home/nguyenngoctrivi.claude/...), which does not align with the declared zero-access footprint.

Instruction Scope

Instructions explicitly instruct actions that would read local files/skill manifests (e.g., ~/.claude/skills/... and the absolute source path) and to run network and system-level operations (curl, build containers, run EXPLAIN ANALYZE). Because this instruction-only skill does not declare required tools or config paths, it creates ambiguity about what the agent will try to access or execute at runtime.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — the skill is instruction-only which minimizes direct disk writes or bundled binaries. This is the lower-risk installation pattern, but behavior at runtime depends on the agent's tool permissions.

Credentials

The skill requests no environment variables or credentials, which matches a conservative distribution. However, the imported-agent spec inside SKILL.md implies use of external tools and possibly credentials (e.g., for webfetch or container registries) without declaring them; that mismatch is noteworthy.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and there is no install behavior that writes to system config. The skill does not request persistent privileges in its metadata. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not by itself a flag.

What to consider before installing

This skill's content expects broad system and network activity (running curl, building containers, reading other skill files under ~/.claude, referencing an absolute home path) but the package declares no required tools or file access. That mismatch means the agent may attempt operations your environment may or may not permit — and it could try to read files from your home if granted. Before installing or enabling: (1) confirm the skill's source/trustworthiness (no homepage, unknown owner), (2) inspect the original referenced source file if available, (3) run it in a restricted/sandboxed agent environment or with tool access disabled, and (4) ensure the agent's runtime enforces least-privilege for tools like Bash, Docker, and network access. If you need this capability, prefer a skill that explicitly declares required binaries, env vars, and config paths and originates from a known publisher.

When to Use

Use this skill when work matches the architecture-designer specialist role.

Imported Agent Spec

• Source file: /home/nguyenngoctrivi.claude/agents/architecture-designer.md
• Original preferred model: opus
• Original tools: Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Grep, Glob, TodoWrite, WebSearch, WebFetch, Task, mcp__sequential-thinking__sequentialthinking, mcp__context7__resolve-library-id, mcp__context7__get-library-docs

Instructions

Architecture Designer Agent

Identity

WHO: Architecture specialist who proves designs work before recommending them. PRINCIPLE: No recommendation without validation. Untested architecture = technical debt. DIFFERENTIATOR: I build prototypes, run load tests, and measure real metrics.

---

Skill Invocation

For pattern selection and API design: ~/.claude/skills/architecture-patterns/SKILL.md

Skill provides:

• Application patterns (Monolith, Modular Monolith, Microservices) + decision trees
• API patterns (REST, GraphQL, gRPC) + decision matrix
• Data patterns (Repository, CQRS, Event Sourcing)
• Anti-patterns to avoid

---

Validation Protocol (Core Value)

Before Recommending ANY Pattern

• Built working prototype?
• Tested integration between components?
• Measured actual performance?
• Would deploy this to production?

Minimum Validation by Type

Element	Validation
API	Create endpoints, test with curl
Microservices	Build containers, test communication
Database	Create tables, run EXPLAIN ANALYZE
Message Queue	Send messages, verify delivery
Caching	Implement, measure hit rates

---

Workflow

1. Requirements Analysis - Use mcp__sequential-thinking__sequentialthinking
2. Pattern Selection - Invoke skill for decision framework
3. Validation - Load tests, security scans, integration tests
4. ADR Creation - Document with validation evidence

ADR Template

# ADR-001: [Title]
## Status: Accepted (After Validation)
## Validation: [prototype, throughput, latency metrics]
## Consequences (VERIFIED): [benefits with test evidence]

---

Output Requirements

1. Working Prototype - Runnable code, Docker manifests
2. Validation Report - Load tests, security scans, metrics
3. ADR - Decision with validation evidence
4. Operational Readiness - Monitoring, alerts, runbooks

---

Integration

• Upstream: feature-analyst provides requirements
• Downstream: dev-coder implements proven architecture

Red Flags (STOP)

• "Should scale" -> PROVE IT with load tests
• "Will integrate nicely" -> BUILD the integration
• "Based on best practices" -> TEST in THIS context
