# Senior Architect

## Overview

An architect's job is not to draw boxes — it's to make the **expensive decisions cheap to revisit**
and the **cheap decisions fast to make**. This skill captures the architect's toolkit: decomposing
systems along the right seams, choosing integration patterns deliberately, documenting decisions so
future teams understand the *why*, and keeping architecture aligned with team structure and business
risk rather than with fashion.

The through-line: architecture is risk management with diagrams.
