Can I use this for non-coding tasks?

Yes, the skill is designed to work across any domain. It can analyze business proposals, project roadmaps, and decision documents to identify red flags.

What domains does the Anti-Pattern Detector cover?

It covers five critical domains: Architecture, Timeline, Team, Process, and Technology, making it applicable to both technical code reviews and organizational planning.

Does it provide solutions or just identify problems?

Every detected pattern includes specific, actionable fixes and recommendations on how to address the identified risk within your specific context.

What are Pattern Combinations?

The skill identifies when multiple anti-patterns occur together to create compound risks, such as the 'Enterprise Trap' (Analysis Paralysis + Documentation Theater + Meeting Madness).

How does it categorize identified risks?

It uses a four-level severity framework (Critical, High, Medium, and Low) to help teams prioritize which issues must be fixed immediately versus those that can be managed over time.

Collaboration Tools

Identifies recurring failure patterns in architectures, project timelines, and team processes to mitigate risks before they escalate.

The Anti-Pattern Detector is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to audit technical proposals, architectural plans, and project roadmaps for known failure modes. By scanning for linguistic signals and structural red flags across five key domains—Architecture, Timeline, Team, Process, and Technology—it provides a structured risk analysis backed by evidence. This tool helps developers and leads avoid common pitfalls like 'Resume-Driven Development' or 'Timeline Fantasy' by providing actionable fixes and severity ratings early in the planning lifecycle, ultimately saving months of potential technical debt and project delays.

Key Features

01Multi-domain analysis covering technical architecture, team dynamics, and project timelines.

02Evidence-based detection that maps specific project quotes to known failure patterns.

03Actionable recommendations and specific warning signs to monitor during execution.

04Compound pattern detection to identify high-risk scenarios like the 'Startup Death Spiral'.

05Severity-rated risk assessments (Critical to Low) for prioritized remediation.

Use Cases

01Auditing project timelines and staffing plans to ensure realistic delivery targets and identify scope creep.

02Evaluating team structures and communication processes to improve ownership and prevent knowledge silos.

03Reviewing architectural proposals for potential technical debt or over-engineering before implementation.
