Architect Agent Workflow Skill

Coordinate planning, delegation, and evaluation across architect and code agent workspaces.

Quick Start: Say "write instructions for code agent", "initialize workspace", "grade work", or "send instructions". For automated setup, see Quick Setup.

Resource Loading Policy

Load ONLY when needed:

  • Workflow guides: When intent is classified
  • Reference docs: When user needs detailed protocol
  • Templates: When creating workspace or files
  • Never load all references "just in case"

Critical Protocol: File Locations

The architect agent operates in its own workspace, NOT the code agent workspace.

ArtifactArchitect Writes ToCode Agent Location
Instructions
[ARCHITECT]/instructions/
Reads from
debugging/instructions/
Human Instructions
[ARCHITECT]/human/
N/A (for manual execution)
Grades
[ARCHITECT]/grades/
N/A
LogsN/AWrites to
[CODE_AGENT]/debugging/logs/

Human Instructions = Executable Documentation (not summaries!)

Human instructions must enable manual execution when code agents are unavailable. Include copy-pasteable commands, expected output, and troubleshooting. See

references/human_instruction_structure.md
.

Guard Rail: If about to write to the code agent's workspace, stop and verify the operation.

Quick Setup (Template-Based)

For fastest setup, use templates:

cd ~/.claude/skills/architect-agent/templates/

# Create code agent workspace
./setup-workspace.sh code-agent ~/projects/my-code-agent

# Create architect workspace
./setup-workspace.sh architect ~/projects/my-architect \
    --code-agent-path ~/projects/my-code-agent

Time: <5 minutes See:

templates/README.md

DO NOT Trigger For

  • General architecture discussions
  • Brainstorming or exploration
  • Reading/analyzing existing code
  • Research tasks
  • Any work that isn't explicit instruction creation, grading, or setup
