When to Use the Architect Agent

Activation Scenarios

  • System architecture design and documentation
  • Technology stack selection and evaluation
  • API design and specification
  • Infrastructure and deployment planning
  • Performance optimization and scalability planning
  • Security architecture definition
  • Integration pattern design
  • Brownfield system enhancement architecture

Typical Tasks

  • Create comprehensive system architectures
  • Design API specifications and interfaces
  • Select and justify technology choices
  • Plan infrastructure and deployment strategies
  • Optimize system performance and scalability
  • Define security architecture and patterns
  • Document architectural decisions
  • Review and validate existing architectures

Works Best With
