Risk Storming Facilitator

Name: Risk Storming Facilitator
Author: BookForge

Software ArchitectureFundamentals of Software Architecture

Plan and facilitate collaborative risk storming sessions for architecture teams. Use this skill whenever the user wants to run a risk identification workshop, organize a risk storming exercise, plan a collaborative risk assessment session, facilitate architecture risk discovery with a team, prepare a risk workshop agenda, coordinate group risk identification, or run a team-based architecture risk review. Also triggers when the user mentions "risk storming," "collaborative risk session," "team risk workshop," "group risk identification," wants to prepare pre-work materials for a risk meeting, or asks "how should I run a risk session with my team?" — even if they don't use the exact term "risk storming."

Architect Control Calibrator

Determine the appropriate level of architect control over a development team using a quantitative 5-factor scoring model (-100 to +100 scale). Use this skill whenever the user asks how much they should be involved in a team's decisions, how hands-on or hands-off to be as an architect, how to calibrate their leadership style, whether they are micromanaging developers, whether they should give the team more autonomy, or any question about architect involvement level, team oversight, or technical leadership balance — even if they don't explicitly say "control." Also triggers when the user describes team dysfunction symptoms like merge conflicts increasing, nobody speaking up in meetings, or tasks falling through cracks.

Software Architecture

Architect Role Assessor

Evaluate whether a software architect is fulfilling the 8 core expectations of the role and assess their technical breadth vs depth balance using the knowledge pyramid. Use this skill whenever the user asks what a software architect should be doing, questions whether they are performing the architect role correctly, wants to assess their own or someone else's architect performance, describes symptoms of role dysfunction (spending too much time coding, not attending stakeholder meetings, only recommending technologies they know, avoiding decisions), asks about transitioning from developer to architect, or encounters the Frozen Caveman anti-pattern where past experiences irrationally drive current decisions — even if they don't explicitly say "architect role" or "expectations."

Software Architecture

Architecture Characteristics Identifier

Systematically identify, categorize, and prioritize architecture characteristics (quality attributes / -ilities) from requirements, domain concerns, and stakeholder input. Use this skill whenever the user is starting a new project, defining architecture requirements, translating business needs into technical characteristics, asking "what quality attributes matter?", figuring out nonfunctional requirements, or evaluating what -ilities to optimize for — even if they don't explicitly say "architecture characteristics."

Software Architecture

Architecture Decision Record Creator

Create structured Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) with 7 sections to document architecture decisions with full justification. Use this skill whenever the user has made or needs to make an architecture decision, wants to document why a technical choice was made, is choosing between technologies or patterns, needs to create an ADR, or is experiencing repeated debates about past decisions — even if they don't explicitly mention "ADR" or "architecture decision record."
