From the author
Use when non-trivial code needs a design, codebase design or architecture needs improving, or one module needs targeted interface narrowing, seams, or testability. Not for diagrams, deploy, or irreversible changes.

Closest to this one by what they do and when they are used.
- agentic-architectureOvid/paadUse when assessing the architectural health of a codebase — before a major refactor, when onboarding to an unfamiliar repo, after rapid growth, when planning a redesign, or to surface structural strengths and risks before they become expensive. Not for fixing what it finds, and not for reviewing a branch diff.Planning★ 143
- improve-architecturerohitg00/pro-workflowAudit an area of the codebase and propose the smallest structural moves that improve it - untangle boundaries, kill duplication, fix seams, break cycles. Produces a prioritized plan and decision records, not a rewrite. Use when a codebase feels tangled, hard to change, or is becoming a ball of mud, or when asked to improve or refactor architecture.Planning★ 2.9K
- codebase-designOyadotAI/oya-browserThis skill should be used when designing a module interface, reducing coupling, choosing dependency seams, improving testability, or comparing architecture alternatives.Design★ 351
- architectural-analysistestdouble/hanPerforms deep architectural analysis of a specified module, directory, or feature area by examining structural coupling, data flow, concurrency patterns, risk, and SOLID alignment. Use when the user wants to assess, evaluate, or review the architecture, design quality, dependency structure, coupling, cohesion, or technical debt of an existing part of the codebase. Not for investigating specific bugs, runtime errors, or failures — use investigate. Not for test planning — use automated-test-planning. Not for file-level code review — use code-review. Not for researching open-ended options, prior art, or how something works — use research. Not for designing a new interface or contract — use design-an-api. Not for planning the change its findings imply — use plan-a-change. Not for discovering bounded contexts, ubiquitous language, or where code boundaries diverge from domain boundaries — use ddd-analysis. Not for writing documentation or architectural decision records.Planning★ 323
- architecture-reviewthiientv/godmodeReviews an existing codebase for structural friction, unclear ownership, leaky or shallow interfaces, excessive coupling, misplaced state, poor testability, and risky dependency direction, then prioritizes evidence-backed improvement candidates. Use for architecture audits, modularization, modernization, or recurring cross-cutting change pain. Not for designing one new interface, simplifying a local function, or fixing a reproduced bug.Planning★ 99
- architecture-designerJeffallan/claude-skillsUse when designing new high-level system architecture, reviewing existing designs, or making architectural decisions. Invoke to create architecture diagrams, write Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), evaluate technology trade-offs, design component interactions, and plan for scalability. Use for system design, architecture review, microservices structuring, ADR authoring, scalability planning, and infrastructure pattern selection — distinct from code-level design patterns or database-only design tasks.Planning★ 12.1K
