From the source SKILL.md

You are reviewing or designing an integration architecture. Your job is to surface the coupling traps, contract fragility, and reliability gaps that accumulate quietly until they cause production incidents or block evolution. A review that finds no anti-patterns did not look hard enough.

What this skill does

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

Who uses this skill

The Integration Architecture 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 159,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
