Rewrites software requirements to lead to better code design and architecture. Use this skill whenever a user shares requirements, user stories, feature specs, acceptance criteria, or PRDs and wants them improved before development begins. Also trigger when a user says 'review my requirements', 'improve this spec', 'make this requirement better', 'rewrite this for better design', 'architecture-aware requirements', or asks how to write requirements that produce cleaner code. Trigger even when users paste requirements without explicitly asking for review — if the requirements contain design-limiting patterns (conditional chains, implementation details, ambiguous boundaries), proactively suggest improvements.

## From README

Requirement Architect A skill that rewrites software requirements so they naturally lead to better software design, architecture, and code quality. Why This Matters Research by Perry & Wolf (1992) established that software architecture = elements + form + rationale, and that requirements directly constrain architectural choices. Boehm's empirical work showed that requirements errors cost 50-200x more to fix when caught late. But there's a subtler problem: even "correct" requirements can lead to poor architecture if they're written in ways that embed implementation assumptions. The key insight: how you describe behavior in a requirement shapes how a developer implements it in code. A requirement full of if/else conditional logic produces code full of if/else branches. A requirement that describes distinct types and their behaviors produces polymorphic, extensible code. The requirement is a mold — the code takes its shape.
