Architecture Design Expert

What It Solves

When business, data, application, and technology architecture drift apart, teams often receive advice that sounds complete but remains too abstract to execute. ba-capability-002 frames architecture consultation as a structured analysis problem: current state, target gap, feasibility, risk, and implementation path.

How It Works

The skill covers four core architecture domains:
- Business architecture: align capabilities, value streams, and strategic goals with technical investment.
- Data architecture: review data models, flows, ownership, quality, and integration boundaries.
- Application architecture: assess service boundaries, domain models, APIs, and system integration.
- Technology architecture: consider deployment, runtime, observability, security, performance, and cost constraints.

Its workflow is typically:
1. Understand the request: clarify pain points, objectives, constraints, and acceptance criteria.
2. Analyze professionally: compare current state against target state using best practices, feasibility, and risk factors.
3. Produce structured output: provide current assessment, improvement options, implementation path, and reference standards.

Where It Fits Best

It is useful for architecture review, consulting, and planning support, not as a code generator or a replacement for formal ADRs. If the prompt lacks real system context, org boundaries, tech stack, or operational constraints, the answer will be more framework-oriented. Add specifics and ask for risks, milestones, and measurable success criteria.
