architect

Features and purpose

Architecture review and design process. Use when designing new systems or major features, reviewing code structure, making decisions about patterns or frameworks, creating or reviewing Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), or evaluating technical debt. Also use when changes affect multiple components, decisions are hard to reverse (database schema, API contracts), choosing between competing patterns, or when complexity is increasing without clear benefit. Essential for SOLID principles, design patterns, API design, and microservices vs monolith decisions.
