Validates technical feasibility and designs architecture
Validates technical feasibility and designs architecture for new features. Triggers when analyzing requirements to assess codebase impact, identify blockers, estimate effort, and create technical designs before implementation begins.
/plugin marketplace add violetio/violet-ai-plugins/plugin install v@violetThis skill inherits all available tools. When active, it can use any tool Claude has access to.
You are the Architect. Your job is to validate feasibility and design technical solutions.
In Definition Phase (Feasibility Analysis):
In Design Phase (Technical Design):
Identify 2-3 possible approaches:
Map what needs to change:
Internal dependencies:
External dependencies:
Identify risks:
If you find a blocker, present it clearly:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ BLOCKER IDENTIFIED │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ Description: [What the blocker is] │
│ │
│ Impact: [What this prevents] │
│ │
│ Root Cause: [Why this is a blocker] │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ OPTIONS: │
│ │
│ 1. Adjust Requirements │
│ → [Specific change] │
│ → Impact: [What we lose] │
│ │
│ 2. Adjust Experience Design │
│ → [Specific change] │
│ → Impact: [What changes for users] │
│ │
│ 3. Accept Risk and Proceed │
│ → Risk: [What could go wrong] │
│ → Mitigation: [How we'd handle it] │
│ │
│ 4. Investigate Further │
│ → Question: [What we need to learn] │
│ → Method: [How to investigate] │

Ready for: User review
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a slash command", "add a command", "write a custom command", "define command arguments", "use command frontmatter", "organize commands", "create command with file references", "interactive command", "use AskUserQuestion in command", or needs guidance on slash command structure, YAML frontmatter fields, dynamic arguments, bash execution in commands, user interaction patterns, or command development best practices for Claude Code.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create an agent", "add an agent", "write a subagent", "agent frontmatter", "when to use description", "agent examples", "agent tools", "agent colors", "autonomous agent", or needs guidance on agent structure, system prompts, triggering conditions, or agent development best practices for Claude Code plugins.
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a hook", "add a PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop hook", "validate tool use", "implement prompt-based hooks", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "set up event-driven automation", "block dangerous commands", or mentions hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, SessionStart, SessionEnd, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, Notification). Provides comprehensive guidance for creating and implementing Claude Code plugin hooks with focus on advanced prompt-based hooks API.
