Arch

Arch

Use when design problem broader than one pattern. Need pick right architectural lens first.

Keep arch as single entrypoint. Load only relevant reference file for problem at hand.

Pick the Right Reference

Shared Rules

• keep business rules explicit and testable
• push IO and framework details to edges
• prefer composition before deep inheritance trees
• add abstractions only when they reduce real duplication or coupling
• choose simplest structure that preserves clarity

Quick Checks

• domain model getting muddy -> read references/ddd.md
• layers leaking into each other -> read references/clean-arch.md
• one module doing too much -> read references/solid.md
• need repeatable shape for recurring problem -> read references/patterns.md
• need capture system design before impl -> read references/sdd.md

Workflow

1. identify dominant architecture problem
2. read only matching reference file
3. apply smallest structure that solves that problem
4. combine references only when design truly spans multiple concerns

Adjacent Workflows

• use quality when want TDD to drive structural changes safely or RCA to diagnose failures around boundaries and design
