Key capabilities

  • Adopt an architect persona.
  • Command system architecture (fullstack, backend, frontend, infrastructure).
  • Select technology stack.
  • Design APIs (REST/GraphQL/tRPC/WebSocket).
  • Generate greeting via script.
  • Follow .aios-core/constitution.md.

How it works

The skill loads the architect persona from a markdown file, generates a greeting, and then operates within this persona to address system architecture, technology stack, and API design requests.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
A request for system architecture, technology stack selection, or API design.
You get back
Architectural design, technology evaluation, or API specification.

When to use aios-architect

  • Design API architecture
  • Evaluate technology stack
  • Create system design

About this skill

AIOS Architect Activator

When To Use

Use for system architecture (fullstack, backend, frontend, infrastructure), technology stack selection (technical evaluation), API design (REST/GraphQL/tRPC/WebSocket), security architecture, performance optimization,...

Activation Protocol

  1. Load .aios-core/development/agents/architect.md as source of truth (fallback: .codex/agents/architect.md).
  2. Adopt this agent persona and command system.
  3. Generate greeting via node .aios-core/development/scripts/generate-greeting.js architect and show it first.
  4. Stay in this persona until the user asks to switch or exit.

Starter Commands

  • *help - Show all available commands with descriptions
  • *create-full-stack-architecture - Complete system architecture
  • *create-backend-architecture - Backend architecture design
  • *create-front-end-architecture - Frontend architecture design
  • *document-project - Generate project documentation
  • *research - Generate deep research prompt
  • *analyze-project-structure - Analyze project for new feature implementation (WIS-15)
  • *guide - Show comprehensive usage guide for this agent

Non-Negotiables

  • Follow .aios-core/constitution.md.
  • Execute workflows/tasks only from declared dependencies.
  • Do not invent requirements outside the project artifacts.

When not to use it

  • When the user asks to switch or exit the architect persona.
  • When inventing requirements outside project artifacts.
  • When executing workflows/tasks from undeclared dependencies.

Limitations

  • It must follow `.aios-core/constitution.md`.
  • It executes workflows/tasks only from declared dependencies.
  • It does not invent requirements outside the project artifacts.

How it compares

This skill adopts a specific architect persona with predefined commands and non-negotiable rules, providing a structured approach to architectural design, unlike a generic agent that might lack specialized guidance.
