3## Use this skill when
4 
5- Reviewing system architecture or major design changes
6- Evaluating scalability, resilience, or maintainability impacts
7- Assessing architecture compliance with standards and patterns
8- Providing architectural guidance for complex systems
9 
10## Do not use this skill when
11 
12- You need a small code review without architectural impact
13- The change is minor and local to a single module
14- You lack system context or requirements to assess design

181. Gather system context, goals, and constraints.
192. Evaluate architecture decisions and identify risks.
203. Recommend improvements with tradeoffs and next steps.
214. Document decisions and follow up on validation.
22 
23## Safety
24 
25- Avoid approving high-risk changes without validation plans.
