Architect

What it does

Runs a dedicated architecture pass against a structured brief for a new subsystem or a batch of requirements, producing a versioned Architecture Decision Record that is independently reviewed before any code is written.

When to use it

Reach for this before implementation whenever a change introduces a new subsystem, a new data layer, or a scale-sensitive path — design first, build second.

Inputs

• ›subsystem / REQ-batch brief

Outputs

• ›versioned ADR document
• ›independent architecture review

Example

/eng-org:architect "Design the webhook delivery subsystem" — produces an ADR with the chosen approach, the rejected alternatives, and a reversibility note, reviewed for architecture, security, and performance before Stage 1.
