# Architecture Insights - November 16, 2025 Auto-generated lessons learned from Claude Code Explanatory insights. **Session**: 79b654b6-10f8-4c3c-92e1-a3535644366c **Generated**: 2025-11-16 09:57:31 --- ## Skill Design Pattern Selection **Skill Design Pattern Selection** The research revealed three key patterns for skill creation: 1. **Phase-based workflow** (used by skill-creator) - best for linear, multi-step processes 2. **Mode-based approach** (used by complex skills) - best for multiple distinct workflows 3. **Validation pattern** (used by auditor skills) - best for analysis and checking For our insight-to-skill generator, we'll use the **phase-based workflow** pattern because the process is inherently sequential (discover → cluster → design → generate → install), and it aligns with how skill-creator already works, making the user experience consistent. --- ## Skill Design Pattern Selection **Skill Design Pattern Selection** The research revealed three key patterns for skill creation: 1. **Phase-based workflow** (used by skill-creator) - best for linear, multi-step processes 2. **Mode-based approach** (used by complex skills) - best for multiple distinct workflows 3. **Validation pattern** (used by auditor skills) - best for analysis and checking For our insight-to-skill generator, we'll use the **phase-based workflow** pattern because the process is inherently sequential (discover → cluster → design → generate → install), and it aligns with how skill-creator already works, making the user experience consistent. --- ## Skill Design Pattern Selection **Skill Design Pattern Selection** The research revealed three key patterns for skill creation: 1. **Phase-based workflow** (used by skill-creator) - best for linear, multi-step processes 2. **Mode-based approach** (used by complex skills) - best for multiple distinct workflows 3. **Validation pattern** (used by auditor skills) - best for analysis and checking For our insight-to-skill generator, we'll use the **phase-based workflow** pattern because the process is inherently sequential (discover → cluster → design → generate → install), and it aligns with how skill-creator already works, making the user experience consistent. --- ## Skill Design Pattern Selection **Skill Design Pattern Selection** The research revealed three key patterns for skill creation: 1. **Phase-based workflow** (used by skill-creator) - best for linear, multi-step processes 2. **Mode-based approach** (used by complex skills) - best for multiple distinct workflows 3. **Validation pattern** (used by auditor skills) - best for analysis and checking For our insight-to-skill generator, we'll use the **phase-based workflow** pattern because the process is inherently sequential (discover → cluster → design → generate → install), and it aligns with how skill-creator already works, making the user experience consistent. --- ## Skill Design Pattern Selection **Skill Design Pattern Selection** The research revealed three key patterns for skill creation: 1. **Phase-based workflow** (used by skill-creator) - best for linear, multi-step processes 2. **Mode-based approach** (used by complex skills) - best for multiple distinct workflows 3. **Validation pattern** (used by auditor skills) - best for analysis and checking For our insight-to-skill generator, we'll use the **phase-based workflow** pattern because the process is inherently sequential (discover → cluster → design → generate → install), and it aligns with how skill-creator already works, making the user experience consistent. --- ## Skill Design Pattern Selection **Skill Design Pattern Selection** The research revealed three key patterns for skill creation: 1. **Phase-based workflow** (used by skill-creator) - best for linear, multi-step processes 2. **Mode-based approach** (used by complex skills) - best for multiple distinct workflows 3. **Validation pattern** (used by auditor skills) - best for analysis and checking For our insight-to-skill generator, we'll use the **phase-based workflow** pattern because the process is inherently sequential (discover → cluster → design → generate → install), and it aligns with how skill-creator already works, making the user experience consistent. --- ## Skill Design Pattern Selection **Skill Design Pattern Selection** The research revealed three key patterns for skill creation: 1. **Phase-based workflow** (used by skill-creator) - best for linear, multi-step processes 2. **Mode-based approach** (used by complex skills) - best for multiple distinct workflows 3. **Validation pattern** (used by auditor skills) - best for analysis and checking For our insight-to-skill generator, we'll use the **phase-based workflow** pattern because the process is inherently sequential (discover → cluster → design → generate → install), and it aligns with how skill-creator already works, making the user experience consistent. ---
