How does it help with documenting technical decisions?

The skill includes a standardized workflow for Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), providing templates to track context, decisions, consequences, and risks.

Can this skill help with performance and security?

Yes, it provides specific guidance on non-functional requirements including caching strategies, circuit breakers, encryption, and query optimization.

What architectural patterns does this skill support?

It provides patterns and ASCII diagrams for Layered Architecture, Hexagonal (Ports & Adapters), Microservices, and Event-Driven architectures.

Does it include object-oriented design principles?

Yes, it integrates SOLID principles, DRY, KISS, and YAGNI into the development workflow to ensure code maintainability.

API Development

Provides structured patterns and principles for designing scalable, maintainable software systems and managing architectural decisions.

About

This skill equips Claude with a comprehensive framework for planning and implementing robust software architectures. It covers everything from high-level patterns like Microservices and Hexagonal architecture to granular design principles such as SOLID. By integrating Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and standardized design patterns like Repository and Factory, it ensures that technical decisions are documented, consistent, and aligned with industry best practices for scalability, security, and reliability.
