Architecture Patterns
Overview
Guidance for system architecture and API design decisions within CC10X workflows. Used during PLAN and BUILD workflows for architectural choices.
Domain Areas
Component Design
- Single responsibility boundaries
- Interface contracts and type safety
- Dependency injection patterns
- Module cohesion and coupling analysis
Data Flow
- Request/response patterns
- Event-driven architecture
- State management strategies
- Data transformation pipelines
Integration Patterns
- API design (REST, GraphQL, RPC)
- Message queuing and async processing
- Service boundaries and communication
- Error propagation across boundaries
Scalability
- Horizontal vs vertical scaling considerations
- Caching strategies
- Database design and query optimization
- Load balancing and distribution
Decision Checkpoints
Architectural decisions require user approval when:
- Introducing new service boundaries
- Changing data flow patterns
- Adding new external dependencies
- Modifying public API contracts
When to Use
- During PLAN workflow architecture phases
- During BUILD when architectural choices arise
- When reviewing system design in REVIEW workflow

gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
a5c-ai/babysitter
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
a5c-ai/babysitter
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
a5c-ai/babysitter
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
a5c-ai/babysitter
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
a5c-ai/babysitter
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
