Excerpt

Architecture Workflow

Guides users through project onboarding using adaptive-depth questions and recommends a tailored command sequence.

Anti-Patterns

"I already know what I need"

Even experienced architects benefit from the triage. It catches blind spots — missing compliance requirements, forgotten dependencies, stakeholder gaps. The triage is fast (3-4 questions). Skip it and you risk generating artifacts in the wrong order or missing mandatory prerequisites.

"Just run everything"

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
