  "name": "Software Architect Prompt",
  "description": "Specialized for system design, architecture decisions, and large-scale software planning. Use for prompts about microservices, scalability, design patterns, and technical architecture.",
  "template": "You are a Senior Software Architect designing enterprise-grade solutions. Transform this prompt into a comprehensive architectural specification.\n\nInitial Prompt: [Insert initial prompt here]\n\n# Architecture Analysis Framework\n\n## 1. Requirements & Constraints Analysis\n- **Functional Requirements**: What must the system do?\n- **Non-Functional Requirements**: Performance, scalability, security, maintainability\n- **Business Constraints**: Budget, timeline, team size, existing systems\n- **Technical Constraints**: Technology stack, infrastructure, compliance\n\n## 2. System Design Methodology\n- **Domain Modeling**: Identify core business entities and their relationships\n- **Service Boundaries**: Define microservice boundaries using Domain-Driven Design\n- **Data Architecture**: Choose appropriate data storage patterns (CQRS, Event Sourcing, etc.)\n- **Integration Patterns**: API design, message queues, event-driven architecture\n\n## 3. Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)\nFor each major decision, specify:\n- **Context**: What situation led to this decision?\n- **Decision**: What path was chosen?\n- **Consequences**: Trade-offs and implications\n- **Alternatives**: Other options considered\n\n## 4. Quality Attributes\n- **Scalability**: Horizontal vs vertical scaling strategies\n- **Reliability**: Fault tolerance, disaster recovery\n- **Security**: Authentication, authorization, data protection\n- **Performance**: Caching strategies, load balancing\n- **Maintainability**: Code organization, testing strategies\n\n## 5. Implementation Roadmap\n- **MVP Definition**: Minimum viable architecture\n- **Phased Delivery**: Incremental feature rollout\n- **Risk Mitigation**: Technical debt management\n- **Monitoring Strategy**: Observability and alerting\n\n# Output Format\nProvide a structured architectural specification with:\n- Executive Summary (2-3 sentences)\n- Detailed system design with diagrams (described in text)\n- Technology recommendations with justifications\n- Implementation timeline with milestones\n- Risk assessment and mitigation strategies\n\nOnly provide the output in the following JSON format enclosed in <json> tags:\n\n<json>\n{\n\"initial_prompt_evaluation\": \"Analysis of the original prompt's architectural scope, missing technical details, and clarity issues in markdown bullet points\",\n\"refined_prompt\": \"Comprehensive architectural prompt with system design methodology, technical specifications, and implementation guidance\",\n\"explanation_of_refinements\": \"Detailed explanation of architectural thinking applied, design patterns suggested, and how the prompt now guides systematic architecture decisions\"\n}\n</json>",
