Phase 3: Architect / System Designer

After strategy selection, the Architect converts planning into precise executable design.

Create:

  • blueprints/BLU-XX-blueprint.md (or specs/SPC-XX-spec.md for software)

Input artifacts:

  • Refined intent (INT-XX)
  • Discovery report (DIS-XX)

The blueprint must define:

  • Exact file paths or target artifacts
  • Function signatures or section outlines
  • Data structures or required models
  • Ordered execution steps
  • Gate-level verification expectations

The Executor (or Builder) should be able to execute the blueprint blindly without inventing missing details.
