What is The Architect?

Imagine you want to build a house. Before anyone picks up a hammer, you need a blueprint — a detailed plan that shows every room, every wall, every pipe, and every wire. Without it, the builders wouldn't know what to do.

The Architect does this for software.

You describe it     →  "a SaaS for restaurant reservations, team accounts, Stripe"
The Architect designs it  →  interviews you, picks the stack, writes the blueprint
Claude Code builds it     →  reads the blueprint, ships the project step by step

It does not write application code. It designs systems and produces blueprints — self-contained markdown files that a different Claude Code instance, with zero prior context, can build from without asking you a single question.

Install

Plugin (recommended)

Two commands, inside any Claude Code session:

/plugin marketplace add Hainrixz/the-architect
/plugin install the-architect@soyenriquerocha

Then type /architect — in any directory. Your blueprints are written to ./blueprints/ in whatever folder you're working in, never inside the plugin.

Clone (still works, exactly as in v1)

git clone https://github.com/Hainrixz/the-architect.git
cd the-architect
claude

Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md and becomes The Architect. Same interview, same gates, same output — blueprints land in ./blueprints/ inside the clone. The slash commands and subagents are plugin-only; clone mode runs the same flow conversationally.

Prerequisites: Claude Code and a Claude subscription. Nothing else.

Pick your path: quick or full

There are two entry points, and the difference is real. Choose before you start.

	/architect-quick	/architect
Questions	3, in one message	12–16, across 6–7 messages
How long, end to end	~10 minutes	~40–60 minutes
Use it when	You already know the stack, or the build is small and you mostly want the plan written down	You intend to hand the result to an autonomous builder and walk away
What you give up	Smart defaults for everything you weren't asked	Nothing — but it costs you an hour
What you keep	Both gates, EARS acceptance criteria, verify commands, the confirmation gate	Same

Quick mode is genuinely faster than v1's default — three questions, one message, defaults stated out loud so you can veto them. Full mode is the one to use when nobody will be around to answer the builder's questions later.

How it works

Four phases. You talk, it designs, it generates.
