## What code-architect does, in the publisher's words

A NanoClaw template with one architecture skill and two modes:

- Architecture Planning for systems, features, refactors, and technology choices.
- Architecture Review for existing systems and codebases.

The coordinator reads the request, records the scope, and seats the smallest panel the evidence justifies from thirteen lenses: design principles, pragmatic engineering, systems, data, reliability, testing, algorithms, change management, security, cloud, AI, ML, and one programming-language expert per language whose semantics materially affect a risk. Every panel also seats a Tech lead, which does query-driven web research instead of using books and returns source-backed insights, technology signals, and tradeoffs rather than recommendations.

A shared Librarian selects two to four exact book editions for each book-guided expert, matched to both its field and the concrete problem, and returns book identity and fit only. The experts then apply their pretrained knowledge of those books, naming the chapters, sections, and practices used and tracing each to architecture evidence.

## Skills

- architecture: Plan or review software architecture through a small expert panel. Use when the user explicitly asks for architecture planning, system design, technical strategy, an architecture assessment, a design review, or a system health review. Do not use for ordinary PR review, debugging, or implementation.

Descriptions come from the frontmatter of each SKILL.md, punctuation lightly normalized.
