Step 2 — Architecture

Purpose

Score the proposed architecture against the five Azure Well-Architected Framework (WAF) pillars and turn user-pinned SKUs into a complete service list with real-time pricing.

Agent

03-Architect — delegates pricing lookups to cost-estimate-subagent.

Invocation

Invoke: Ctrl+Shift+A → 03-Architect
Output: agent-output/{project}/02-architecture-assessment.md
        agent-output/{project}/02-cost-estimate.md
        agent-output/{project}/sku-manifest.{json,md} (rev 2)

What gets produced

WAF pillar scoring — Reliability, Security, Cost, Operations, Performance.
SKU recommendations — sourced via the Azure Pricing MCP and folded into sku-manifest.
Architecture decisions — with rationale and trade-offs.
Risk register — assumptions, blast radius, mitigation pointers.

Review

1 × comprehensive adversarial pass + 1 × cost-feasibility pass (mandatory). decisions.review_depth = "deep" opts in to a multi-pass rotating-lens review.

Hand-off

The Orchestrator routes context to Step 3 — Design (optional) or, if the user skips design artifacts, directly to Step 3.5 — Governance.
