bmad-architecture

bmad-architecture is a System design & architecture decisions skill for AI agents, published by aj-geddes in the claude-code-bmad-skills repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates bmad-architecture D (67/100) and it passed the safety scan; the rating is based on static analysis only.

Solutioning skill (Winston, the Architect). Produces architecture.md with ADRs and systematic NFR coverage, mapping every FR/NFR from the PRD to a concrete design decision. ONE architecture forces all future parallel dev agents to share the same API style, data model, state management, naming conventions, and security approach — catching alignment here is 10x cheaper than during implementation. Use when the user says "design the architecture", "create architecture", "/architecture", "solutioning", "tech stack", "system design", "ADR", "architecture decision record", "data model", "API design", "NFR coverage", "non-functional requirements", or after a PRD is done and they ask "what's next" / "ready for solutioning". Supports Create (new architecture.md), Update (revise against PRD changes), and Validate (check coverage + ADR completeness). PLANS only — never writes application code, runs tests, lints, or builds.
