Documentation

README

Excerpt

Well-Architected Review

Step 1: Define the workload scope

Ask the user to describe the workload:

What workload would you like me to review? Please share:

Workload name and brief description

Code packages/directories to analyze (IaC, application code, CI/CD configs)

Business criticality (critical, high, standard, low)

Current pain points (optional — anything you already know is problematic)

If the user has already provided architecture details or you are in a codebase with IaC, skip the prompt and proceed with discovery.

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