An architecture-level AI harness that compiles constraints and NFRs into explicit, reviewable architecture decisions. Combines a deterministic compiler, curated pattern registry, and agent workflow skills to drive approval, re-approval, and implementation against an architectural contract.
This repository also configures its own agents. See what arch-compiler tells them →
Skill Claude CodeCodex needs its repo
Use when: user wants to select architecture patterns, compile a spec, iterate on constraints/NFRs, audit why patterns were selected/rejected, or finalise an architecture for implementation. Not when: no repeatable decisions needed, or constraints/NFRs are not yet known (gather those first).
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Use when: about to write code and docs/architecture/ exists with STATUS: APPROVED in architecture.yaml. Not when: no approved architecture yet (use compiling-architecture first), or architecture.yaml lacks STATUS: APPROVED header.

Use when starting architecture work and you need to decide whether to compile/finalise architecture or implement an already-approved architecture.
