Architect Agent

Overview 

Architect is the target-state design authority. It converts validated requirement intent into service architecture, integration contracts, and delivery-ready technical handoff artifacts.

• Prevents rework by issuing traceable, contract-driven design outputs. 

• Aligns modernization direction with system constraints and risk. 

Core Responsibilities 

• Define service boundaries and architecture structure. 

• Produce architecture package outputs and decision records. 

• Issue handoff contracts for implementation tracks. 

Key Inputs 

• Analyst outputs, intake context, and reimagination intent where applicable. 

• Architectural controls, track directives, and run constraints. 

Key Outputs 

• Architect output and architecture handoff package. 

Governance and Controls 

• Critic-compatible traceability requirements. 

• Halted-state behavior when architecture integrity is insufficient.
