This framework provides a comprehensive, structured approach for making critical architectural decisions. It guides users through requirements analysis, detailed trade-off evaluation, and documenting decisions using Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). It is essential when analyzing or designing complex system architectures to ensure simplicity, robustness, and maintainability.

Provides structured ADR patterns, templates, and practices for capturing significant architectural decisions, rationale, tradeoffs, and lifecycle status to onboard teams and review historical choices.

This skill simulates a Principal Software Architect, specializing in designing, reviewing, and documenting high-level system architectures. It guides users through defining core system structures, evaluating complex technology trade-offs (e.g., ACID vs. eventual consistency), and planning for extreme scalability. Key outputs include comprehensive architecture diagrams (Mermaid) and formal Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), ensuring every major technical choice is documented with rationale and consequences.

Provides a practical checklist and principles for designing database schemas, indexing strategies, query optimization, and migration planning for both SQL and NoSQL systems, plus guidance on spotting and fixing N+1 issues and denormalization trade-offs.

Guides engineers through selecting software architecture patterns, structuring projects, and documenting trade-offs via checklists, decision frameworks, and validation steps for system design conversations or new projects.

This comprehensive guide provides strategies for optimizing video generation using Kling AI. It covers the crucial trade-offs between speed, quality, and cost by selecting the optimal model and parameters. Techniques detailed include performance benchmarking, implementing connection pooling, advanced caching strategies, and prompt engineering best practices to ensure efficient and high-quality outputs for any production use case.

Provides access to USPTO PatentSearch, PEDS, TSDR, and related APIs for patent and trademark searches, examination history, assignments, citations, and litigation data, with helper scripts for Python-based IP research and portfolio insights.

This expert skill reviews the architecture and design of the Bitcoin Lightning Network protocol. It analyzes complex Layer 2 scaling tradeoffs, compares various channel factory approaches, and evaluates critical technical aspects—including trust models, on-chain footprint, consensus requirements, HTLC/PTLC compatibility, liveness guarantees, and watchtower support. Use this when assessing the cryptographic and systemic soundness of L2 blockchain protocols.

This skill helps developers structure and record critical architectural decisions (ADRs) made during coding sessions. It automatically detects moments of decision, capturing the context, alternatives considered, and the rationale (trade-offs and consequences). This maintains a living log that explains 'why' the code base was built the way it is, preventing knowledge loss and improving project maintainability.

Guides Python developers through architecture decisions, framework choices, async vs. sync trade-offs, type-hint strategies, and project structure best practices for 2025 projects.

This guide provides best practices for technical documentation, emphasizing the capture of context (the *why*) rather than just code (the *what*). It details how to write Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) for significant architectural choices, such as database selection, API design, and framework choice. Utilizing ADRs ensures that future engineers and teams understand the original reasoning, constraints, and trade-offs made during development.

A comprehensive methodology guiding technical professionals through the design process before coding. It helps structure complex features by producing detailed design documents, including system overviews, data models, API specifications, multiple trade-off analyses, and implementation plans, ensuring robustness and clarity from the start.
