architect
Shape your code before implementation starts.
What it does
Designs code structure from multiple model perspectives, then implements the chosen sketch.
When to use it
Use when explicitly asked to architect or design something, or when non-trivial work risks locking in the wrong code structure.
How to use it
Give it a coding task; it develops competing architecture sketches, synthesizes a design, and implements it, pausing for approval only when requested.
What you provide
- An existing project
Good to know
- starts helper agents, number unstated
- acts without asking
What you need · 3
Requires arena to run the design-sketch task and return the synthesized design package.
Runs how to explain relevant existing subsystems before designing; this grounding step is skipped only for genuinely greenfield work.
