Automatically trigger Tree of Thoughts exploration when agents face architectural decisions with multiple valid approaches.
Builds weighted decision matrices, analyzes trade-offs, and generates ADRs for architectural, technical, and process decisions like database selection or framework choice.
Structures architecture decisions with options table (pro/con/complexity), choice, risks, and next steps. Use for technology choices, design decisions, system design questions.
Generates Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) using MADR templates: assessment criteria, options analysis with risk matrices, frameworks like Salesforce Well-Architected or Technical Trade-offs.

Automatically trigger Tree of Thoughts exploration when agents face architectural decisions with multiple valid approaches.
This skill activates the ToT exploration protocol when an agent encounters a decision point with multiple valid architectural approaches. It ensures systematic evaluation rather than defaulting to the first viable option.
When triggered, this skill:
Detects decision context:
Loads ToT protocol:
Generates alternatives:
Evaluates with scoring matrix:
Produces recommendation:
Generates ADR if approved:
