architecture decision brief
Review-ready artifact for software architecture, evidence quality, verification, and controlled next actions.
Read the fileIs this bundle right for your task?
Who it is for
- People performing or supporting Software Architect work, plus teams reviewing its decisions and outputs
- Teams working in Software engineering, Architecture
When to use it
- A Software Architect task needs a structured plan, evidence checklist, or review-ready output.
- A recommendation needs its assumptions, owners, risks, dependencies, and success measures made explicit.
What you need to provide
- The task objective, intended audience, working context, constraints, source material, and decision owner.
- Relevant reports, exports, examples, policies, prior decisions, and success measures available for the task.
Tasks and expected outputs
Questions it helps answer
- Prepare an architecture decision brief without fabricating local facts.
- Separate verified, provided, assumed, and missing evidence.
- Produce a review-ready recommendation with explicit verification and approval boundaries.
What it helps produce
- architecture decision brief
Practical example
Use it with an agent
Load the bundle as context, provide the evidence named above, then adapt this example to your situation.
Provide the task objective, intended audience, working context, constraints, source material, and decision owner. Ask the agent to approach Software Architect work by producing architecture decision brief with a prioritized plan, evidence checks, owners, risks, and unresolved questions. Begin with European Commission ESCO — Classification / Occupation Main, then confirm that the reference is current and applicable. Inspect Software Architect source-backed Guide before drafting.

Limitations and safe use
Do not use this for
- Treating the bundle as a substitute for organization-specific authority, firsthand evidence, or accountable review.
Known limitations
- Use the cited official, originator, standards, or professional sources for general software architecture context; local facts, records, values, states, and permissions require inspected evidence.
- Task-specific work requires current evidence for stakeholders, business requirements, constraints, and quality attributes; system context, components, interfaces, data, and deployment topology; current technology versions, dependencies, and operational evidence; threat model, privacy, reliability, capacity, cost, and compliance requirements; alternatives, tradeoffs, ADRs, validation, ownership, and approval.
- Do not infer requirement priority, system behavior, compatibility, security posture, capacity, cost, or architectural approval.
Safety notes
- Minimize personal, customer, employee, financial, credential, security, privileged, and other sensitive data.
- Require explicit confirmation before committing architecture, selecting vendors, changing security boundaries, approving spend, or modifying production.
- Route legal, privacy, security, compliance, financial, employment, safety, and other qualified judgments to an evidenced accountable reviewer.
