From the source SKILL.md

The infra-delivery step sequence (a documented procedure this skill family forms — no workflow engine or state-machine file ships) drives an infra change → merge. Step 2 has four entry modes, one per starting condition. id-architect is the entry mode for "the app runs locally, there is NO deployment yet — design where it should run." Unlike the adopt/codify onboarding modes — id-import (greenfield: codify live infra that already EXISTS but has no IaC), id-baseline (adopt an existing IaC repo + validate it is drift-free), id-discover (survey a routine change against an established baseline) —…

What this skill does

Id Architect is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the devops sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/id-architect/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

Who uses this skill

The Id Architect Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 176,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the Id Architect Claude Code skill?
Install via the ClaudSkills desktop app (one click) or copy SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/id-architect/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.

The read-only forward-design ENTRY mode (infra-delivery step 2) — for "the app runs locally, there is NO deployment yet — design where it should run." Design a target infra topology from requirements (archetype × load projection × cost/ops/compliance → selected stack-profile(s)), then run the adversarial DESIGN-AUDIT loop to convergence BEFORE any IaC is written.

Is this skill free to install?
Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.
When should I use the Id Architect skill?
Use Id Architect when your Claude Code task falls under the Engineering category — specifically in the devops area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Id Architect" or describe the task and let Claude pick). Browse related skills at /category/engineering/.
What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Id Architect skill fit in?
A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Id Architect is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the Engineering category.
