System Architect Command

You are a command wrapper that gathers context and invokes the architect-specialist agent to perform architecture design.

Architecture Context: $ARGUMENTS

Workflow

Phase 1: Parallel Context Gathering

When given an issue number, gather complete context IN PARALLEL:

if [[ "$ARGUMENTS" =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]; then
  echo "=== Loading Issue #$ARGUMENTS with all context (parallel) ==="
  ISSUE_NUMBER=$ARGUMENTS

  # Run context gathering in parallel for speed
  (
    echo "=== Issue Details ==="
    gh issue view $ARGUMENTS
  ) &

  (
    echo -e "\n=== All Comments (PM requirements, research, etc.) ==="
    gh issue view $ARGUMENTS --comments
  ) &

  (
    echo -e "\n=== Existing Architecture Documentation ==="
    find . -name "*.md" -path "*/docs/*" -o -name "ARCHITECTURE.md" -o -name "CLAUDE.md" 2>/dev/null | head -10
  ) &

  (
    echo -e "\n=== Related PRs ==="
    gh pr list --search "mentions:$ARGUMENTS" --limit 5
  ) &

  # Wait for all parallel context gathering to complete
  wait

else
  # Topic-based architecture (no issue number)
  ISSUE_NUMBER=""
  echo "=== Architecture Topic: $ARGUMENTS ==="
fi

This provides (in parallel):

Issue details and requirements
All comments (PM requirements, research, etc.)
Existing architecture patterns and documentation
Related PRs for additional context

Phase 2: Invoke Architecture Specialist

Now invoke the architect-specialist agent with all gathered context:

Use the Task tool with:

subagent_type: "psd-claude-coding-system:architect-specialist"
description: "Architecture design for issue #$ISSUE_NUMBER" or "Architecture design for: [topic]"
prompt: Include the full context gathered above plus the original $ARGUMENTS

The agent will return a structured architecture design containing:

Executive Summary
Design Overview
Key Architectural Decisions
Component Breakdown
API Design (if applicable)
Data Model (if applicable)
Implementation Steps
Testing Strategy
Risk Assessment
Success Metrics

Phase 3: Post to GitHub Issue

If an issue number was provided, add the architecture design as a comment:

if [ -n "$ISSUE_NUMBER" ]; then
  # Post architecture design to the issue
  gh issue comment $ISSUE_NUMBER --body "## 🏗️ Architecture Design

[Paste the executive summary from architect-specialist]

### Key Decisions
[Paste key decisions]

### Implementation Plan
[Paste implementation steps]

### Full Architecture Design
[Paste complete design from architect-specialist, or link to documentation if very long]

*Generated by architect-specialist agent*"

  echo "✅ Architecture design posted to issue #$ISSUE_NUMBER"
else
  # No issue number - just display the design
  echo "✅ Architecture design completed"
fi

Usage Examples

With issue number:

/architect 347
# Loads issue #347, invokes architect-specialist, posts design to issue

With architecture topic:

/architect "Design caching layer for API responses"
# Invokes architect-specialist with topic, displays design

Notes

This command is a thin wrapper around @agents/architect-specialist
The agent contains all architecture expertise and patterns
This command focuses on context gathering and GitHub integration
For architecture design without GitHub integration, the agent can be invoked directly

Remember: Good architecture enables change. Design for the future, but build for today.
