Excerpt

Architecture Refiner

Step 0: Style Selection

Before anything else, ask the user which architecture style their team uses:

"What architecture style does your team use?

Clean Architecture (default) — layers (Domain, Application, Interface, Infrastructure), dependency inversion, command/query separation
Hexagonal / Ports & Adapters — core domain surrounded by ports, adapters on the outside
Modular Monolith — vertical slices, each module owns its own layers
Custom / Define from scratch — you describe the layers and rules"
