What documents does the Tech Stack Architect generate?

The skill generates two primary files: TECH-STACK.md, which details technology selections and their rationales, and ARCHITECTURE.md, which covers system design, component details, and visual diagrams.

Are the security recommendations included?

Yes, the skill includes a dedicated Security Architecture section in its output, covering authentication strategies, data protection, and OWASP mitigation patterns.

Can I use this for existing projects?

Absolutely. It is highly effective for documenting existing systems or planning a re-architecture of legacy infrastructure to align with modern best practices.

How does it decide which technologies to recommend?

It analyzes your project's PROJECT-OVERVIEW.md to assess scale requirements, team expertise, budget constraints, and compliance needs to suggest pragmatic, industry-standard stacks.

Does it support visual diagrams?

Yes, it uses Mermaid.js syntax to create portable, version-controllable diagrams including C4 Context, sequence diagrams, and deployment architecture maps.

Deployment & DevOps

Designs comprehensive system architectures and technology stacks by generating visual diagrams and detailed technical rationales.

The Tech Stack Architect skill transforms high-level project requirements into production-ready architectural blueprints. It automates the creation of foundational documentation, specifically generating a tech stack guide and a detailed architecture map. By analyzing scale, budget, and performance needs, it provides deliberate technology choices across frontend, backend, database, and DevOps layers, complete with Mermaid-based diagrams for C4 context, data flows, and deployment strategies. This skill is essential for developers and architects who need to establish a clear, documented, and scalable technical roadmap before writing a single line of application code.
