Can it help with microservices boundaries?

Absolutely. It is designed to handle domain-driven design principles, helping you define bounded contexts and service boundaries effectively.

What is an Architecture Decision Record (ADR)?

An ADR is a document that captures a significant architectural decision, the context in which it was made, and the consequences it has for the project's future.

How does it handle large architecture projects?

It uses a phased approach with chunked responses and progressive disclosure, ensuring that ADRs and designs are detailed yet manageable within AI token limits.

Does this skill support Mermaid diagrams?

Yes, the Architect skill creates system visualizations using the Mermaid C4 format to help you map out components, containers, and context.

Does it recommend specific frameworks or databases?

Yes, it provides comparative analysis for technology stack selection, weighing the pros and cons of different frameworks and data models based on your specific needs.
