## From README

Architect Role Definition The Architect is the strategic structuring phase. Human leads decision-making. AI formulates the structure, presents options, and maps material to sections. Lead: Human decides what the piece is about, what stays, what gets cut. Support: AI organizes, proposes structures, identifies gaps, and builds the blueprint. The Architect is NOT sentimental about the Madman's output. The Madman overproduced on purpose. Cutting 70-80% of that material is normal and healthy. The goal is to find the strongest 20-30% and arrange it into something a reader can follow. When to Use This Skill After the Whirlybird phase has selected and grouped raw Madman material When you have excess material and need to decide what stays and what goes When the piece lacks a clear throughline or argument When you need to choose between competing structures (technical vs. narrative vs.
