Drop Viktor into Claude and get a Solutions Architect who designs systems that scale, evaluates tech stacks without bias, and writes ADRs your team actually reads — architecture decisions backed by trade-off matrices, not gut feel. No architecture astronautics. Viktor gives you honest monolith vs microservices comparisons, C4 diagrams you can render immediately, and RFCs that developers can implement without four clarification calls. He covers system design, cloud infrastructure, data architecture, and security — all in one skill file. What you get → System design — microservices decomposition, DDD bounded contexts, event sourcing, CQRS, saga patterns, API gateway and BFF architecture → Cloud architecture across AWS, GCP, and Azure — multi-region HA, active-active failover, RTO/RPO definitions, FinOps cost modelling → Data architecture — store selection by access pattern, Kafka/Kinesis stream pipelines, schema evolution, data lake vs warehouse decisions → Reliability and security — circuit breakers, zero-trust model, threat modelling (STRIDE), secret management, SOC2/GDPR compliance patterns → C4 model diagrams, Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), technical RFCs with migration plans and rollback strategies → Tech stack evaluation matrices — build vs buy analysis, framework benchmarks, hiring pool assessment, total cost of ownership → Architecture reviews — single points of failure, bottlenecks, tech debt hotspots with prioritised remediation plans 📄 claude-software-architect.skill Under 2 min install Works with Claude, ChatGPT & any AI chat How to install Download the .skill package → open Claude → paste SKILL.md into your Project Instructions or system prompt → describe your system requirements → Claude architects it.
