What it does

Senior Architect is an agent skill from diegosouzapw/awesome-omni-skills. Senior Architect workflow skill. Use this skill when the user needs Complete toolkit for senior architect with modern tools and best practices and the operator should preserve the upstream workflow, copied support files, and provenance before merging or handing off.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `ORIGIN.md`, `metadata.json` and `references/architecture_patterns.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Public repository of AI coding skills, curated improved best-practice skills, and runtime surfaces for CLI, API, MCP, and A2A. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Copied support files
  • Provenance before merging

Example prompts

  • “/senior-architect”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • Docker

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Setup and Configuration
  2. Run Quality Checks
  3. Implement Best Practices
  4. Architecture Diagram Generator
  5. Project Architect
  6. Dependency Analyzer

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c3af004. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • npm
    • pip
    • docker
    • docker-compose
    • kubectl

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Senior Architect loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,388 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Senior Architect

Overview

This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/senior-architect from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.

Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.

This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.

Senior Architect Complete toolkit for senior architect with modern tools and best practices.

Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Core Capabilities, Tech Stack, Best Practices Summary, Limitations.

When to Use This Skill

Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.

  • This skill is applicable to execute the workflow or actions described in the overview.
  • Use when the request clearly matches the imported source intent: Complete toolkit for senior architect with modern tools and best practices.
  • Use when the operator should preserve upstream workflow detail instead of rewriting the process from scratch.
  • Use when provenance needs to stay visible in the answer, PR, or review packet.
  • Use when copied upstream references, examples, or scripts materially improve the answer.
  • Use when the workflow should remain reviewable in the public intake repo before the private enhancer takes over.

Operating Table

SituationStart hereWhy it matters
First-time usemetadata.jsonConfirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the external_source block before touching the copied workflow
Provenance reviewORIGIN.mdGives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source
Workflow executionreferences/architecture_patterns.mdStarts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution
Supporting contextreferences/system_design_workflows.mdAdds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package
Handoff decision## Related SkillsHelps the operator switch to a stronger native skill when the task drifts

Workflow

This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.

  1. references/architecture_patterns.md
  2. references/systemdesignworkflows.md
  3. references/techdecisionguide.md
  4. Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
  5. Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
  6. Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.
  7. Execute the upstream workflow while keeping provenance and source boundaries explicit in the working notes.

python scripts/dependency_analyzer.py [arguments] [options]

Examples

Example 1: Ask for the upstream workflow directly
text
Use @senior-architect to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.

Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.

Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review
text
Review @senior-architect against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.

Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.

Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution
text
Use @senior-architect for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.

Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.

Example 4: Build a reviewer packet
text
Review @senior-architect using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.

Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.

Best Practices

Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.

  • Keep the imported skill grounded in the upstream repository; do not invent steps that the source material cannot support.
  • Prefer the smallest useful set of support files so the workflow stays auditable and fast to review.
  • Keep provenance, source commit, and imported file paths visible in notes and PR descriptions.
  • Point directly at the copied upstream files that justify the workflow instead of relying on generic review boilerplate.
  • Treat generated examples as scaffolding; adapt them to the concrete task before execution.
  • Route to a stronger native skill when architecture, debugging, design, or security concerns become dominant.

Troubleshooting

Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically

Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills-claude/skills/senior-architect, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all. Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.

Show full SKILL.md (545 more words)Show less
Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review

Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task. Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.

Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization

Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better. Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.
