When to choose it

Comparing implementation approaches before editing.

Choose it if: You want an implementation proposal that follows the codebase’s conventions and your maintenance constraints.

Look elsewhere if: You expect a proven architecture without reviewing the proposal and integration points.

What the source describes

  • Examines architecture and conventions
  • Proposes components and integration points
  • Outlines an implementation plan

Requirements

  • Install the containing Feature Dev package

This is a component of Feature Dev. Install the containing package once to get its components.

Install the containing plugin

Run the installation command in your shell after reviewing the source. Local scope enables the package for you in this repository. It does not enable it for every collaborator.

Shell • local install scope
claude plugin install feature-dev@claude-plugins-official --scope local

Use it after installation

Ask Claude to use the code-architect with a concrete feature and constraints.

Installation and loading troubleshooting

Limitations & considerations

  • A generated design is a proposal, not a proven architecture
  • Supply real constraints on complexity and maintenance
