tomevault-io Architecture Patterns
Master proven backend architecture patterns including Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, and Domain-Driven Design to build maintainable, testable, and scalable systems.
Use this skill when
- Designing new backend systems from scratch
- Refactoring monolithic applications for better maintainability
- Establishing architecture standards for your team
- Migrating from tightly coupled to loosely coupled architectures
- Implementing domain-driven design principles
- Creating testable and mockable codebases
- Planning microservices decomposition
Do not use this skill when
- You only need small, localized refactors
- The system is primarily frontend with no backend architecture changes
- You need implementation details without architectural design
Instructions
- Clarify domain boundaries, constraints, and scalability targets.
- Select an architecture pattern that fits the domain complexity.
- Define module boundaries, interfaces, and dependency rules.
- Provide migration steps and validation checks.
- For workflows that must survive failures (payments, order fulfillment, multi-step processes), use durable execution at the infrastructure layer — frameworks like DBOS persist workflow state, providing crash recovery without adding architectural complexity.

Memory-First Protocol
Retrieve prior Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), trade-off analyses, and system design rationale. Critical for maintaining consistency across long-running projects.
# Check for prior architecture/design context before starting
python3 execution/memory_manager.py auto --query "architecture decisions and trade-off analysis for Architecture Patterns"
Storing Results
After completing work, store architecture/design decisions for future sessions:
python3 execution/memory_manager.py store \
--content "Architecture: event-driven microservices with CQRS, Pulsar for messaging, Qdrant for semantic search" \
--type decision --project <project> \
--tags architecture-patterns architecture
Multi-Agent Collaboration
Broadcast architecture decisions to ALL agents so implementation stays aligned with the chosen patterns.
python3 execution/cross_agent_context.py store \
--agent "<your-agent>" \
--action "Completed architecture review — ADR documented, trade-offs analyzed, team aligned" \
--project <project>
Control Tower Coordination
Register architecture tasks in the Control Tower so all agents across machines know the current system design and constraints.
