Make system architecture decisions by clarifying requirements and constraints, comparing benefits and drawbacks, and considering simpler alternatives. Record the reasoning in ADRs, architecture decision records, so significant choices and their rationale are documented.
Architectural decision-making framework. Requirements analysis, trade-off evaluation, ADR documentation. Use when making architecture decisions or analyzing system design.
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
"Requirements drive architecture. Trade-offs inform decisions. ADRs capture rationale."

Before finalizing architecture:
This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
No reviews yet. Tell others what you thought.
No login needed. Share how it worked for you, ask a question, or note where it did not run.
No comments yet. Be the first to write one.
Assess a new or existing AI project by examining its code, goals, and constraints. Recommend skills confirmed to exist in the available registry, then outline tasks and implementation phases with dependencies, completion criteria, and checks.
Review code and infrastructure for security risks, map potential threats, and plan stronger defenses. The skill covers OWASP checks, attack and defense exercises, and incident response, with validation required for each environment.
Turn a repeatable task into an Andru.ia skill with clear inputs, outputs, examples, and limits. Draft SKILL.md, check the folder structure and required validations, and prepare a pull request describing the changes for review.
Prepare an industry briefing once a project's sector is defined. It covers sector context, potentially applicable regulations, familiar interface patterns, technology choices, and risks, while separating verified evidence from hypotheses and questions requiring further review.
Create presentation drafts from text, outlines, or documents through the 2slides API. Match a reference image's style, choose themes, add AI voice narration, and export slide images or audio for review and use.
Plan a 360-degree or peer feedback process and create empty response templates from confirmed requirements. Produces consistent CSV, SQL, JSON Schema, or Notion property mappings while keeping visibility choices and scoring configuration separate.
