AI-Powered Hex Architect for Scalable System Design

AI-Powered Hex Architect for Scalable System Design

The AI-Powered Hex Architect skill orchestrates architecture decisions, evaluates trade-offs, and generates architecture decision records (ADRs) or system designs. This skill operates through four phases: discovery, research, design, and adversarial review, providing structured guidance for complex architecture development.

What this skill does

• Parses and classifies architecture decision tiers: low, medium, high, xhigh, max, or auto (default).
• Conducts trade-off analysis for architecture decisions.
• Organises system design processes from discovery to adversarial review phases.
• Generates ADRs with focus areas such as scalability, availability, and security.
• Automates design delegation to architect workers based on decision tier.
• Uses the hex-core reference library for shared protocols and vocabulary.

Who it is for

This skill is designed for developers and teams working with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. It benefits architects involved in system design, as well as engineers making tiered architecture decisions or assessing non-functional requirements (NFRs).

Use cases

• Supporting architecture decision-making in agile product development.
• Generating ADRs for new software projects focusing on scalability and operability.
• Conducting phased reviews for system designs, ensuring thoughtful trade-off analysis.
• Designating architecture tasks to appropriate team members based on system complexity.

Technical details

• Integrates with Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, enhancing AI-based design processes.
• Operates via tiered architecture-decision strategies, using hex-core for shared contracts and vocabulary.
• Phase plans and review loops utilise markdown files for easy documentation.
• Requires installation of hex-core using the command: grim add ghcr.io/michael-herwig/arcana/hex-core:latest.
