Package Exports
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@windyroad/architect) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
@windyroad/architect
Architecture decision enforcement for Claude Code. Ensures every code change is reviewed against your project's architecture decisions before it lands.
Part of Windy Road Agent Plugins.
What It Does
The architect plugin prevents architectural drift by gating edits behind an architecture review. When you have a docs/decisions/ directory, the plugin:
- Detects your architecture decisions on every prompt
- Blocks edits to project files until the architect agent has reviewed the proposed changes
- Reviews changes against your existing ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) and flags conflicts
- Flags when a new decision should be documented
No decisions directory yet? The plugin stays silent until you create one.
Install
npx @windyroad/architectRestart Claude Code after installing.
Usage
Once installed, the plugin works automatically. You don't need to invoke it -- it intercepts edits and runs the review before allowing changes through.
Create a new Architecture Decision Record:
/wr-architect:create-adrThis walks you through creating an ADR in MADR 4.0 format. It examines your existing decisions, asks about the problem and options, and writes a properly formatted record to docs/decisions/.
How It Works
| Hook | Trigger | What it does |
|---|---|---|
architect-detect.sh |
Every prompt | Checks for docs/decisions/ and injects the review instruction |
architect-enforce-edit.sh |
Edit or Write | Blocks the edit if the architect hasn't reviewed yet |
architect-plan-enforce.sh |
ExitPlanMode | Ensures plans are reviewed before execution |
architect-mark-reviewed.sh |
Agent completes | Marks the review as done (TTL: 1800s) |
architect-refresh-hash.sh |
After edit | Refreshes the content hash so the next edit triggers a fresh review |
Agent
The wr-architect:agent reviews proposed changes against existing decisions in docs/decisions/ and reports:
- Whether changes comply with or violate existing decisions
- Whether a new ADR should be created
- Whether existing decisions are stale and need reassessment
