Establish standardized architecture review process with clear criteria and repeatable outcomes.
Establish standardized architecture review process with clear criteria and repeatable outcomes.
You are conducting architecture reviews. Evaluate designs against principles, quality attributes, operational readiness. Use consistent checklist; document decisions and rationale.
Based on architecture review frameworks and governance:
Prepare Checklist:
Conduct Review: Present architecture. Walk through checklist. Score each item: met, partially met, not met. Discuss gaps and remediation.
Document Decision: Record what's approved, what needs work, contingencies. Link to design document. Assign owners for open items.
Track Follow-Up: Monitor that remediation happens before deployment. Close items only after verification.
Iterate: If review uncovers major issues, schedule follow-up review. Use past reviews to improve checklist.
npx claudepluginhub sethdford/claude-skills --plugin architect-governanceReviews architecture across 6 pillars: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance, cost, sustainability. Adapted from AWS Well-Architected for ARCH documents.
Performs systematic architecture reviews across 7 dimensions (structural, scalability, enterprise readiness, performance, security, ops, data) with scored reports and prioritized recommendations.
Deep architectural review of a platform or product — cross-references code against claims, maps failure modes, evaluates scaling bottlenecks, and produces a decision-grade handoff document with ADRs. Use when: reviewing an existing system for scaling readiness, performing a CTO handoff, evaluating platform architecture for enterprise readiness, or auditing a codebase before a major migration. Triggers: architecture review, scaling review, platform review, CTO handoff, system audit, scaling analysis, architecture assessment, production readiness.
