Can it help with cloud-specific designs?

Absolutely. It includes deep expertise in AWS, Azure, and GCP patterns, including serverless, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

How does the skill handle Architectural Decision Records (ADRs)?

The skill helps you capture the context, decision, and consequences of significant architectural choices, ensuring a permanent record of the 'why' behind your technical stack.

What is the C4 model used in this skill?

The C4 model is a lean graphical notation technique for modelling the architecture of software systems across four levels: Context, Containers, Components, and Code.

How does it use project memory?

It checks for steering files (structure.md, tech.md, product.md) to ensure any new design work is consistent with your project's existing technical constraints and business goals.

Does this skill support multilingual teams?

Yes, it features a mandatory documentation policy where every architectural document is generated in both English and Japanese to ensure team-wide alignment.
