Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Architecture Patterns Master proven backend architecture patterns including Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, and Domain-Driven Design to build maintainable, testable, and scalable systems. ## Use this skill when - Designing new backend systems from scratch - Refactoring monolithic applications for better maintainability - Establishing architecture standards for your team - Migrating from tightly coupled to loosely coupled architectures - Implementing domain-driven design principles - Creating testable and mockable codebases - Planning microservices decomposition ## Do not use this skill when - You only need small, localized refactors - The system is primarily frontend with no backend architecture changes - You need implementation details without architectural design ## Instructions 1. Clarify domain boundaries, constraints, and scalability targets. 2. Select an architecture pattern that fits the domain complexity. 3. Define module boundaries, interfaces, and dependency rules. 4. Provide migration steps and validation checks. 5. For workflows that must survive failures (payments, order fulfillment, multi-step processes), use durable execution at the infrastructure layer

What does the architecture-patterns skill do?
Master proven backend architecture patterns including Clean Architecture, Hexagonal Architecture, and Domain-Driven Design to build maintainable, testable, and scalable systems.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill architecture-patterns --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
