npx claudepluginhub bmad-labs/skills --plugin bmad-skillsResearches and advises on software project approach including architecture, tech stack, implementation strategy, cost tradeoffs, and comparisons with similar projects. Use before building, mid-build, or for post-build review.
Builds weighted decision matrices, analyzes trade-offs, and generates ADRs for architectural, technical, and process decisions like database selection or framework choice.
Analyze architectural trade-offs systematically using decision matrices. Use when comparing design options or justifying architectural choices to stakeholders.
