CC Architect
Build Claude Code extensions: plugins, skills, workflows, commands, and descriptions.
Entry Point
Use /cc-architect for everything. It analyzes your request and orchestrates the appropriate workflows automatically.
Examples:
- "Create a new plugin for X"
- "Add a skill to the Y plugin"
- "Audit my skill for compliance"
- "Write a description for this component"
The orchestrator reads the workflow catalog, builds an execution plan with optimal model tiers, and coordinates subagents to complete your request.

Legacy Skills (Removed)
The following individual architect skills have been removed; their functionality was folded into /cc-architect's workflows. Some workflow docs still reference these by their old names (skill-architect, slash-command-architect) — treat any such reference as a pointer to the replacement workflow below, not to a live skill directory.
| Legacy Skill | Replacement |
|---|---|
/plugin-architect |
/cc-architect + create-plugin workflow |
/skill-architect |
/cc-architect + create-skill workflow |
/workflow-architect |
/cc-architect + create-workflow workflow |
/slash-command-architect |
/cc-architect + create-command workflow |
/description-architect |
/cc-architect + generate-description workflow |
These no longer exist at skills/{name}/SKILL.md; only skills/cc-architect/SKILL.md remains.
