๐About
Design Reviewer reviews proposed work before building begins, helping keep it aligned with Archonโs existing design patterns, templates, and standards.
It provides written guidance for developers and testers. It recommends existing patterns rather than creating new ones, and does not write or change code.
๐Usage
Developers meet Design Reviewer when they need design guidance before starting a build. It runs on demand to identify applicable patterns and prepare a design specification for development and testing.
๐Purpose
When a developer needs to build something, DR-S1 reads the task, searches the design pattern catalog, and tells Archon which patterns apply and what rules the developer must follow. This keeps new work aligned with Archon's standards without slowing down the developer.
๐Duties
- Receives a task with its description and type (code pattern, app design, architecture, etc.)
- Loads the catalog of design patterns and available templates
- Identifies which existing patterns match this task type
- Uses Claude to analyze the task and recommend: which patterns to follow, which template fits, what code constraints are required, what the data model should look like, what the API should return, and what testers should verify
- Creates a design spec and saves it for developers and testers to use
๐Constraints
Only recommends patterns that already existโdoesn't create new ones. Makes suggestions but cannot force developers to follow them. Runs when asked, not continuously monitoring. Gives written guidance to developers but doesn't write or change any code itself.
