How does this skill prevent over-engineering?

It employs a 'Simplicity First' core principle, requiring users to justify added complexity and consider simpler alternatives before finalizing high-level designs.

What is an ADR in this framework?

An ADR (Architecture Decision Record) is a short text file that captures a specific architectural decision, including the context, the decision itself, and the resulting consequences.

Does it integrate with other developer skills?

Absolutely. It is designed to work alongside specialized skills for database design, API patterns, and deployment procedures to provide a holistic architectural view.

Can this skill help with pattern selection?

Yes, it includes specialized decision trees and reference files for choosing between different architectural patterns like MVP, SaaS, or Enterprise models.
