# Architecture Planning Perspective > Apply architecture-first planning lens for module boundaries, dependency direction, and staged refactor/migration safety. Use only when the user explicitly asks for architecture-focused planning. Use when this capability is needed. - Skill: `tomevault-io/architecture-planning-perspective` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 2 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add tomevault-io/architecture-planning-perspective` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/tomevault-io/architecture-planning-perspective/raw - Safety review: pending (external: skill-scanner PASS, skillspector PASS) - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Coding & Dev Tools - Author: tomevault-io (https://skillmd.com/u/tomevault-io) - Updated: 2026-09-17 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/tomevault-io/architecture-planning-perspective --- # Architecture Planning Perspective Use this skill only when the user explicitly asks for architecture-focused planning. ## Focus Prioritize decisions that improve structure and long-term maintainability: - module boundaries and ownership - dependency direction and coupling reduction - contract compatibility between components - staged migration sequencing and rollback safety ## Required Planning Checks 1. Architecture intent and constraints - clarify architectural target and non-negotiable constraints - identify boundaries that must remain stable 2. Dependency map and risk - identify dependency direction problems and cycles - call out blast radius for each planned change 3. Staged refactor path - split work into phases that preserve system operability - define compatibility expectations per phase 4. Rollback and recovery - define rollback trigger conditions - define what state must be restorable per stage 5. Verification - include repository-level checks for each stage - include acceptance criteria tied to architecture outcomes ## Output Adaptation When contributing to a plan, emphasize: - architectural rationale per step - phase-by-phase migration ordering - explicit compatibility notes - risks and mitigations tied to boundaries and dependencies --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/glassesneo) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
