AI Agent Skills for Architects

Skills in this topic cover the staged work of building architecture: program, schematic design, design development, construction documents, permitting and code, and construction administration. Each stage answers a different question — what the building must do, what shape it takes, how it gets built, what a contractor prices from, which public rules it must survive, and what the architect does once construction starts. Use the ranked list by finding the stage you are actually in. A program skill is not useful during construction administration, and a code skill will not help you shape a concept. Read the description of each skill against your current stage, pick the one whose scope matches the work in front of you, and treat the rest as candidates for later phases of the same project.

    archviz-storyboard

    Notable

    Create architectural visualization storyboards, moodboards, detail boards, film-sequence boards, and keyframe plans.

    archify

    Notable

    Create polished, validated architecture, workflow, sequence, data-flow, and lifecycle/state diagrams as explorable standalone HTML with inline SVG, dark/light themes, optional trace motion, and PNG/JPEG/WebP/SVG/WebM export. Accept plain-language requirements or pasted Mermaid flowchart, sequenceDiagram, and stateDiagram input; inspect repository evidence when the diagram must reflect real code. Use when the user asks to visualize system architecture, infrastructure, cloud/security/network topology, technical workflows, API call sequences, request lifecycles, data pipelines, ETL/ELT, data lineage, state machines, or to convert/beautify Mermaid.

    drawio-skill

    Notable

    Create, edit, synchronize, inspect, test, and publish editable draw.io diagrams. Use when the user explicitly requests draw.io/diagrams.net, needs a polished architecture, ERD, UML, sequence, C4, SysML, BPMN, network, swimlane, ML, or infrastructure diagram, wants code/IaC/SQL/OpenAPI converted into a diagram, or wants an existing diagram queried, reviewed, diffed, restyled, kept in sync, or made interactive. Prefer Mermaid/PlantUML elsewhere when the requested artifact is diagrams-as-code rather than an editable draw.io file.

    diagram-design

    Notable

    Create branded architecture, IT current-state, flowchart, sequence, state machine, ER/data model, timeline, swimlane, quadrant, radar/spider, polar chart (polar/radial lollipop), loop/flywheel, nested, tree, org chart, layer stack, Venn, pyramid/funnel, treemap, bar, waterfall, line, Gantt and scatter charts, high-level, process, medallion, data flow, DP integration, DP security matrix, Sankey, fishbone, Wardley map, kanban, user journey, deployment, dependency graph, UML class, story map, or database schema diagrams as standalone HTML/SVG/PNG. Redraw .drawio/.drawio.png/.drawio.svg, Mermaid .mmd, or Excalidraw .excalidraw sources at a chosen size/detail; onboard brand tokens from a website; add semantic patterns, callouts, accessible motion, or sketchy/hand-drawn styling.

    google-cloud-storage-bucket-architect

    Official

    >- Creates Cloud Storage (Google Cloud Storage, or GCS) buckets. Analyzes the workload (sensitive data, media hosting, ingestion, web hosting, archiving, backup, logging, analytics, AI/ML, or general-purpose), validates project-level security settings, and designs a secure-by-default, cost-effective configuration (location, storage class, uniform bucket-level access, public access prevention, soft delete, lifecycle) before creating it. Use whenever a user wants to create, make, set up, provision, or spin up a bucket, or needs object storage for an app, service, pipeline, or dataset — even a "simple" or "default" bucket, or when bucket creation is one step in a larger workflow. Outputs or executes the creation via gcloud, the JSON/REST API, Terraform, or SDK client libraries (C++, Java, Python, Go). Don't use for anything other than creating new buckets — for uploads, downloads, access changes, or reconfiguring existing buckets, use google-cloud-storage-basics.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

How is this list ordered?
It is ranked by observed search demand, with direct matches to the topic placed first. The ranking also caps how many skills any single publisher can occupy.
Can one skill cover the whole architectural process?
Building architecture is a staged professional service, and the sub-topics here follow that staging from program through construction administration. Skills tend to address a specific stage rather than the entire sequence.
Where should I start if I am early in a project?
Start with program and schematic skills, which deal with what the building must do and the first defensible shape of the project. Move to design development and construction documents once the concept has to become something buildable.
Do I need permitting and code skills before construction documents?
Permitting and code is its own stage covering the public rules the design has to survive. It sits alongside construction documents, which define what a contractor prices and builds from, so both are worth checking before you finalize a set.

How to install an Agent Skill

Start with the first skill on this page. Claude Code reads a SKILL.md once it is in the skills directory:

  • Claude Code — copy the SKILL.md for archviz-storyboard into ~/.claude/skills/archviz-storyboard/ for yourself, or .claude/skills/archviz-storyboard/ to share it with a project.
  • From the registry — run npx skills add felipealmeidasid/Pack-skills-for-archviz@archviz-storyboard.
  • Or download archviz-storyboard from its source and place that SKILL.md in the directory above.

How to choose Check the source and the skill’s own instructions before you install. Official and Notable describe where a skill comes from.
