Guides customer-facing and internal technical solution design—discovery and requirements, integration and reference architecture, security/compliance fit, sizing and cost framing, RFP/RFI responses, PoC scoping, build-vs-buy, and handoff to delivery. Use when scoping a customer or partner solution, designing integration architecture for a deal, drafting RFP/RFI technical responses, planning a proof-of-concept, framing security and compliance fit, or preparing solution decks for stakeholders—not for org-wide landing zones and Well-Architected programs (cloud-architect, enterprise-cloud-architect), internal product ADRs and C4 (senior-system-architecture), production Terraform/IaC (infrastructure-engineer), hands-on cloud resource config (cloud-engineer), live PoC execution and competitive demos (sales-engineer), business strategy without technical design (business-consultant), contract redlines (commercial-counsel), or deep FinOps/GL (finops-analyst, compute-accounting-manager).

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
1 rule. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈1
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
0
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 21
Run technical discovery — stakeholders, systems, constraints, success criteria
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Solutions Architect
When to Use
- Run technical discovery — stakeholders, systems, constraints, success criteria
- Translate needs into requirements — functional, integration, NFRs, assumptions
- Design integration architecture — APIs, events, identity, data flows, boundaries
- Produce reference architectures — logical, deployment, and integration views for review
- Assess security and compliance fit — controls mapping, gaps, mitigations (not legal advice)
- Frame sizing and cost — order-of-magnitude capacity, licensing, cloud spend drivers
- Scope PoC/Pilot — goals, in/out of scope, success metrics, exit criteria
- Draft RFP/RFI technical responses — requirements traceability, solution narrative
- Recommend build vs buy — options, trade-offs, TCO drivers, risks
- Prepare handoff to delivery — backlog, dependencies, open decisions, acceptance criteria
When NOT to Use
- Org landing zones, CCoE, enterprise EA programs →

cloud-engineer - Build and demo the PoC in customer environment →
sales-engineer - Issue trees, operating model, steerCo without technical design →
business-consultant - MSA/SaaS redlines and legal risk →
commercial-counsel - SOC 2 evidence packs and control narratives →

Core Workflows
1. Scope and engagement framing
Role boundaries, inputs, outputs, stakeholders.
See references/solutions_architect_scope.md.
2. Discovery and requirements
Interviews, current state, requirements pack, assumptions.
See references/discovery_and_requirements.md.
3. Integration and reference architecture
Context, integration patterns, reference diagrams, interfaces.
See references/integration_and_reference_architecture.md.
4. Security and compliance fit
Threat framing, control mapping, gaps, customer questionnaires.
See references/security_compliance_fit.md.
5. Sizing, cost, and options
Capacity, cost drivers, build-vs-buy, option comparison.
See references/sizing_cost_and_options.md.
6. RFP, PoC, and handoff
RFP structure, PoC charter, delivery handoff package.
See references/rfp_poc_and_handoff.md.
Outputs
- Discovery summary — context, constraints, open questions
- Requirements pack — must/should/could, NFRs, traceability matrix
- Solution architecture — context, integration, deployment views
- Security/compliance fit memo — mappings, gaps, mitigations
- Sizing and cost estimate — assumptions, ranges, sensitivities
- Option comparison — build vs buy vs partner, recommendation
- PoC charter — scope, timeline, success criteria, risks
- RFP response sections — compliant narrative with requirement IDs
- Handoff package — backlog seed, dependencies, decisions log
Principles
- Discovery before design — validate problem, constraints, and buyers
- Explicit assumptions — every estimate and diagram states what you assumed
- Fit for purpose — right-size architecture for phase (PoC vs production)
- Traceability — requirements IDs flow through design, RFP, and backlog
- Reversible decisions — call one-way doors; defer until evidence from PoC
- Handoff-ready — delivery teams get scope, risks, and acceptance criteria
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
