Organize business and technology teams for fast flow using Skelton & Pais's "Team Topologies". Use when the user mentions "team topologies", "Conway's law", "platform team", "stream-aligned team", "team boundaries", "cognitive load", "how should we split teams", "who owns this service", "team dependencies", or "reorg". Also trigger when reorganizing engineering teams, aligning team and service boundaries, splitting a monolith and deciding ownership, reducing cross-team handoffs, or designing an internal platform. Covers the four team types, three interaction modes, the inverse Conway maneuver, and fracture planes. For bounded contexts, see domain-driven-design. For dependency direction in code, see clean-architecture.
Use when designing organizational structure (team topologies, Conway's Law alignment), mapping stakeholders by power-interest for change initiatives, defining team interface contracts (APIs, SLAs, decision rights, handoffs), assessing capability maturity (DORA, CMMC, agile maturity models), planning org restructures (functional to product teams, platform teams, shared services), or when user mentions "org design", "team structure", "stakeholder map", "team interfaces", "capability maturity", "Conway's Law", or "RACI".
Architecture audit that maps module dependencies, checks layering integrity, and flags structural decay across a codebase, drawing on twelve classic engineering books. Triggers when: user asks to audit architecture, review folder/module structure, check for circular imports, understand how the codebase is organized, or asks "does this follow clean architecture?", "why does everything depend on everything?", "are our layers correct?", "where should this code live?". Also triggers for onboarding requests: "explain this codebase to a new developer" or "give me a codebase tour" (use onboarding mode). Also triggers when user mentions: dependency inversion / hexagonal architecture / bounded contexts / circular imports / tangled dependencies / module coupling / package structure / spaghetti code / directory layout. Use this skill proactively when project structure, module boundaries, or architectural decisions are discussed — even without the word "audit". Do NOT trigger for: PR-level code review (use brooks-review) or line-level refactoring questions — this skill analyzes structural/module-level concerns, not individual functions.
