Summary
This PR delivers a comprehensive, well-structured software architecture skill that successfully addresses all acceptance criteria from issue #56. The content is accurate, practical, and immediately actionable for architecture reviews.
Findings
Code Quality
SKILL.md is excellently organized with clear hierarchy and logical flow
Go code examples are idiomatic and demonstrate best practices accurately
ASCII diagrams for layered architecture and dependency direction are clear and helpful
Consistent formatting and structure throughout all sections
Good balance between being comprehensive and remaining focused
Content Accuracy - Go Best Practices
Package organization guidance is spot-on (cmd/, internal/, pkg/ structure)
Consistent with existing skills in the codebase. Frontmatter follows skill conventions.
Test Coverage
Not applicable - this is documentation. The skill will be validated through usage by the software-architect agent and architecture commands.
Positive Highlights
The "define interfaces at point of use" section with side-by-side good/bad examples is exceptionally clear
Repository health indicators table format makes scanning for issues very efficient
Anti-pattern structure (Problem/Symptoms/Fix) provides excellent guidance for both detection and remediation
The dependency direction diagram with the "key insight" annotation is a great teaching moment
Code examples are minimal but complete - easy to understand at a glance
Verdict
LGTM - Ready to Merge
This is excellent foundational work. The skill is comprehensive, accurate, and immediately actionable. It provides exactly the knowledge base needed for the software-architect agent and architecture commands. No changes needed.

### Summary
This PR delivers a comprehensive, well-structured software architecture skill that successfully addresses all acceptance criteria from issue #56. The content is accurate, practical, and immediately actionable for architecture reviews.
### Findings
#### Code Quality
- SKILL.md is excellently organized with clear hierarchy and logical flow
- Go code examples are idiomatic and demonstrate best practices accurately
- ASCII diagrams for layered architecture and dependency direction are clear and helpful
- Consistent formatting and structure throughout all sections
- Good balance between being comprehensive and remaining focused
#### Content Accuracy - Go Best Practices
- Package organization guidance is spot-on (cmd/, internal/, pkg/ structure)
- Interface advice follows Go proverbs correctly ("accept interfaces, return structs", "consumer owns interface")
- Error handling patterns are accurate (wrap with %w, sentinel errors, error types)
- Dependency injection guidance promotes explicit dependencies and avoids globals
- Table-driven test example follows Go testing conventions perfectly
- No technical inaccuracies found
#### Content Accuracy - Generic Patterns
- Layered architecture diagram correctly shows dependency flow
- SOLID principles are explained concisely and accurately
- Dependency direction diagram clearly illustrates the dependency inversion principle
- Module boundary guidance is practical and recognizable
- All patterns are explained at the right level of detail for a review skill
#### Review Checklists Usefulness
- Three checklists (repo audit, issue refinement, PR review) cover distinct use cases
- Checklist items are specific, actionable, and measurable
- Repository health indicators provide concrete warning signs (e.g., "20+ files", "4+ levels nesting")
- Positive indicators balance the warning signs well
- Checklists will be immediately useful for software-architect agent
#### Anti-Patterns Documentation
- Eight anti-patterns documented with Problem/Symptoms/Fix structure
- Examples are realistic and commonly encountered
- Fixes are actionable and specific
- Good coverage: god packages, circular deps, leaky abstractions, anemic domain, shotgun surgery, feature envy, premature abstraction, deep hierarchy
- The "god packages" example with specific fix (extract validation, httputil, timeutil) is particularly helpful
#### Completeness Against Acceptance Criteria
- [x] Skill file at skills/software-architecture/SKILL.md
- [x] Go-specific best practices (package org, interfaces, errors, DI, testing)
- [x] Generic architecture patterns (layered, SOLID, dependency direction, module boundaries)
- [x] Repository health indicators (positive indicators, warning signs, metrics)
- [x] Review checklists (repo audit, issue refinement, PR review)
- [x] Anti-patterns documented (8 comprehensive examples)
- [x] user-invocable: false in frontmatter
All acceptance criteria fully satisfied.
