/factor-architect

Architectural review against precedent and convention.

What it does

Reviews a design against the codebase's own precedent, its stated conventions, and external references for the pattern in question. Runs in two contexts: before code exists, against a plan; or after it exists, against the delivered result.

When to reach for it

Before executing a plan that changes how components fit together — and after, when something works but feels wrong.

It's working if

  • It cites the place in your own codebase that already solved this, not a general principle.
  • A convention it says you broke comes with where that convention is written down.
  • Reviewing something that already works still produces a finding, rather than a sign-off.
