At a glance

Recommends which /arckit: commands to run, and in what order, for a new or in-flight architecture project, from a short triage of sector, project type, current stage and timeline.

  • Works in 4 steps: Detect Project State → Triage Questions → Deep Questions (Complex Projects Only) → …
  • Has already named the command they want
  • SKILL.md covers Anti-Patterns, Process, Key Principles and ArcKit Integration
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Architecture Workflow is an agent skill from tractorjuice/arc-kit. Recommends which /arckit: commands to run, and in what order, for a new or in-flight architecture project, from a short triage of sector, project type, current stage and timeline. Backs /arckit:start. Not needed when the user has already named the command they want, or is asking about the content of an artefact rather than the sequence.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/ai-ml-path.md`, `references/data-path.md` and `references/defence-path.md`).

It sits in Development. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: The Enterprise Architecture Governance Harness — strategy, architecture, delivery, and assurance using AI coding assistants.

When your agent uses it

  • Has already named the command they want
  • Is asking about the content of an artefact rather than the sequence

Example prompts

  • “Use the architecture-workflow skill to recommend which /arckit: commands to run, and in what order, for a new or in-flight architecture project…”
  • “/architecture-workflow”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read(/${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/**)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Detect Project State
  2. Triage Questions
  3. Deep Questions (Complex Projects Only)
  4. Present Tailored Plan

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9c9a803. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read(/${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/**)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Architecture Workflow loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 804 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~7.9k

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

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 804 words (~1,963 tokens).

“Guides users through project onboarding using adaptive-depth questions and recommends a tailored command sequence.”

Can I use Architecture Workflow in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add tractorjuice/arc-kit --skill architecture-workflow -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/architecture-workflow, .gemini/skills/architecture-workflow, .github/skills/architecture-workflow and .opencode/skills/architecture-workflow in your project.

What does Architecture Workflow need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Architecture Workflow is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Read(/${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/**).

Does Architecture Workflow access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
