Code Architecture Planner v1.0.0
Code Architecture Planner v1.0.0
A Claude skill that plans and documents software architecture through a collaborative, iterative process.
Features
- 9-section architecture document — Project overview, scope boundaries, tech stack, folder structure, components, data flow, tradeoffs, simplicity check, implementation tasks, and appendix
- Mermaid diagram — Visual system architecture generated alongside the doc
- 3 domain reference files — Web (Node.js/Express), Game (Unity/C#), C++/CMake — auto-detected from context
- Simplicity Check — Actively audits the architecture for over-engineering and flags where simpler approaches work
- Scope boundaries as thresholds — Out-of-scope features include upgrade paths so you know the cost of adding them later
- Collaborative pushback — Advocates for better approaches when warranted, explains the tradeoff, respects your decision
- 9-point consistency check — Internal audit catches contradictions between sections before presenting output
- Iterative feedback — Targeted revisions without full regeneration, tracks approved sections
- Clarification escape hatches — Every multiple-choice question includes an option to get more detail before deciding
