## What architecture-skills does, in the publisher's words

A plugin that ships architecture and design workflow skills for AI agents. The skills cover decision records, tradeoffs, interface contracts, dependency choices, failure behavior, type-safe design, and development container planning.

The root plugin.json declares this package using the portable Agent Plugins 1.0 schema. Skill definitions live in the shared skills/ directory. Host discovery and invocation behavior depend on the installed client and its configuration.

The skills are not hooks and do not intercept anything. Their descriptions state when each skill applies; a compatible host can use those descriptions for discovery.

- skills/architecture-decision-record/: write, rewrite, or audit an architecture decision record against an eight-field contract (title, status, context, decision drivers, real options with costs, decision, positive and negative consequences, revisit triggers) so decisions stay reconstructible.
