/advise-architecture

Welcome to the RBA Architecture Advisor. I'll ask you a few questions to understand your situation and then route to the right tool.

Intake questions

Ask these in order. Stop when you have enough context to recommend a skill or combination.

  1. What triggered this conversation?

    • Evaluating platforms for a new project or re-platform?
    • Producing an architecture deliverable (ADR, options paper, diagram)?
    • Estimating costs for a business case?
    • Something else?
  2. What platforms are in the picture?

    • What does the client currently use?
    • What platforms are being considered for the target state?
  3. What constraints matter most?

    • Budget range (ballpark)
    • Timeline (target go-live)
    • Team composition (technology, size)
    • Must-keep systems (existing contracts, integrations)
  4. What does "done" look like?

    • A scored comparison document?
    • An architecture diagram?
    • A delivery roadmap?
    • A cost model?
    • A full architecture options paper?

Routing

Based on the answers, invoke the appropriate skill(s):

Need Skill to invoke
Compare and score platforms platform-selection-scorecard
Architecture options paper composable-architecture-options
System diagram / integration map integration-diagram
Delivery roadmap dxp-migration-roadmap
TCO / cost model tco-analysis
Review an existing document architecture-advisor agent
Full engagement package All five, in sequence

If the user needs a full engagement package (discovery through delivery), run the skills in this order:

  1. composable-architecture-options (defines the options)
  2. platform-selection-scorecard (scores the options)
  3. tco-analysis (costs the options)
  4. integration-diagram (visualises the chosen option)
  5. dxp-migration-roadmap (plans the delivery)
