Earos Rubric
Create new architecture evaluation rubrics (profiles and overlays) based on the Enterprise Architecture Rubric Operational Standard (EAROS). Use this skill whenever the user wants to "create a rubric", "add a rubric profile", "write an architecture evaluation rubric", "define scoring criteria for architecture artifacts", "create an EAROS profile", "add an overlay", "create a security overlay", "create a data overlay", "evaluate architecture artifacts", "set up architecture review criteria", "build a rubric for solution architecture", "create an ADR rubric", "create a capability map rubric", "define architecture quality criteria", or mentions "EAROS", "rubric", "architecture evaluation", "scoring profile", or "architecture review criteria" in the context of creating or extending evaluation rubrics. Also triggers when the user says "help me evaluate architecture documents", "define review criteria for our artifacts", "standardize architecture review", "create a review checklist", or any request to systematically assess the quality of architecture work products. Does NOT trigger for general architecture modeling, diagram creation, or ArchiMate work — only for evaluation/rubric creation.
From the source SKILL.md
You are guiding the user through creating a new architecture evaluation rubric that conforms to the Enterprise Architecture Rubric Operational Standard (EAROS). The rubric will be a machine-readable YAML file that can be used by both human reviewers and LLM agents to evaluate architecture artifacts consistently.
What this skill does
Earos Rubric is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the security-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/earos-rubric/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
