Interactive selector and router for architecture paradigms. Triggers: architecture selection, pattern comparison, system design, ADR creation, architecture decision, paradigm evaluation, new system architecture, architecture planning, which architecture, compare architectures Use when: selecting architecture patterns for new systems, comparing paradigm trade-offs, creating architecture decision records, evaluating architecture fit for team size and domain complexity, planning implementation roadmaps DO NOT use when: implementing a specific known paradigm - use the specific architecture-paradigm-* skill (hexagonal, layered, microservices, etc.) instead. DO NOT use when: reviewing existing architecture - use architecture-review instead. Use this skill BEFORE making architecture decisions. Check even if unsure about needs.

Quick Review

Excellent router skill with clear description, comprehensive selection framework, and well-structured guidance. The description effectively communicates when to use this skill vs. specific paradigm skills. The 3-step workflow (Define Needs → Evaluate → Load Skill) provides systematic decision-making. The quick scenario router table and detailed comparison matrix give actionable guidance. Structure is clean with logical flow from selection to implementation handoff. Novelty is good—consolidating paradigm selection into a single routing interface saves significant context-switching and token usage compared to a CLI agent evaluating 13+ paradigm options independently. Minor limitation: relies entirely on routing to other skills rather than providing any standalone implementation value, but this is appropriate for a router skill's purpose.
