architecture-design

The architecture-design Claude Code skill enables comprehensive system design by generating detailed component architectures, selecting justified technology stacks, designing data models, defining API contracts, and documenting Architecture Decision Records. Use this skill during initial project planning phases when you need to establish technical foundations, evaluate technology choices with clear rationale, and create reference documentation for implementation teams.

# Architecture Design

Design comprehensive system architecture with technology selection and ADRs.

## Agent
Winston (Architect) - `bmad-architect-winston`

## Workflow
1. Define high-level system architecture with components
2. Select technology stack with justification
3. Design data model and database architecture
