architectural-proposals
A Squad template, copied into the gh-aw repository, on writing architecture proposals before code changes.
What the skill teaches
A Squad template, copied into the gh-aw repository, on writing architecture proposals before code changes. It lists the sections a proposal in docs/proposals needs: the problem with evidence, the proposed design, what changes and what stays, decisions needed, risks with mitigations, and scope. It sets a tone ceiling that bans hype and vague timelines, explains how to reorder planned waves of work when a proposal changes the foundation, and shows how to frame a recommendation alongside alternatives. Its examples come from the Squad project's own interactive shell proposal.
Capabilities
- Structure an architecture proposal document
- Keep proposal wording specific and evidence-based
- Re-plan milestones after a foundational change
Install
The project doesn't document install steps that we could confirm. See the project's own instructions
