Is the Architecture Status skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from codenamev/ai-software-architect. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Architecture Status SkillProof Score?

9.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Architecture Status?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Architecture Status with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Architecture Status

Turns a project's .architecture/ folder into a structured ADR/review/gap report instead of a vague summary.

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.6/10
Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · fc7c789

Fed it a mock .architecture/ folder with 3 ADRs (2 accepted, 1 proposed) and 2 reviews; the skill's process turned a one-line 'looks decent' baseline summary into a structured report with per-status ADR breakdown, activity date, and named gaps/recommendations instead of a vague paragraph.

What Architecture Status does

Scans a project's .architecture/ directory (ADRs, reviews, recalibration plans, team roster) and generates a templated health report with counts, status breakdowns, activity level, and concrete gap-and-recommendation sections. Triggers on explicit status queries like 'what's our architecture status' or 'how many ADRs do we have,' and explicitly defers to sibling skills for listing members, creating ADRs, or running reviews. Part of the larger ai-software-architect framework for engineering teams practicing rigorous architecture documentation.

How to install Architecture Status

git clone https://github.com/codenamev/ai-software-architect
cd ai-software-architect
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/architecture-status ~/.claude/skills/architecture-status

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Architecture Status

/architecture-status Turns a project's .architecture/ folder into a structured ADR/review/gap report instead of a vague summary.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

What's our architecture status, how many ADRs do we have right now
Give me a health report on our .architecture folder and any open gaps
Summarize our architecture reviews and recalibration plans into one report
