Architecture governance strategy for the Principled framework. Consult when working with architecture maps, drift detection, coverage audits, architecture document sync, or module boundary enforcement. Covers dependency direction rules, governance mapping conventions, and the heuristic analysis approach.

This skill provides Claude Code with comprehensive knowledge of how the Principled methodology enforces architectural governance. It is not directly invocable --- it informs Claude's behavior when architecture-related context is encountered.

Guides structured conversations to define repository architecture principles in clean (default), hexagonal/ports & adapters, modular monolith, or custom styles. Produces formal architecture.md document for project standards.
Define foundational architecture principles and decision-making rules. Communicate guidelines across organization. Use when establishing architectural standards or updating strategy.
