When should I use the 'Full Guild' command?

Convene the full guild for major architectural shifts or complex system designs where every perspective, from security and performance to developer experience, needs rigorous evaluation.

Can this skill help with microservices and distributed systems?

Yes, it includes specialized agents like Lamport and Erlang specifically for evaluating service boundaries, event-driven patterns, and asynchronous coordination in distributed environments.

What is the Guild methodology in this skill?

It is a framework of 13 reasoning agents, each with a specific lens (e.g., temporal, structural, adversarial), that analyze architectural decisions to provide a comprehensive, multi-dimensional system review.

How does the 'Ratchet' feature work?

The Ratchet captures learnings from previous decisions into a specialized markdown file, ensuring that architectural principles and past lessons inform future design choices automatically.

Evaluates system design and architectural decisions using a 13-agent multi-perspective methodology to ensure robust, scalable software.

About

The Architecture Guild skill transforms Claude into a sophisticated architectural review board using 13 specialized reasoning perspectives. By simulating roles like the 'Burner' for structural integrity, 'Lamport' for temporal consistency, and 'Vector' for security, it provides rigorous feedback on system boundaries, event-driven patterns, and hexagonal architecture. This skill is ideal for developers needing high-level system design validation, service scaffolding, or deep-dives into distributed systems resilience through a structured consensus-based process.

Key Features
