# Enterprise Architecture & Engineering Standards
## Why this exists
Most systems don't fail because nobody knew the right pattern — they fail because the right pattern wasn't applied consistently under deadline pressure. This skill makes architectural rigor the default rather than something bolted on after a system already has scaling problems, data integrity bugs, or an unmaintainable service boundary. It complements (doesn't replace) `bdd-comprehensive-testing` and `owasp-secure-coding-bdd`: those cover behavior verification and security; this one covers whether the system is actually well-designed — the right shape, the right data model, the right resilience posture, the right performance characteristics — before those tests even get written.
## The workflow
### Step 1: Classify what's being built
Different work calls for different reference files. Identify which of these apply — most substantial tasks touch more than one:
- **New service or system boundary** (a new microservice, a new bounded context, splitting a monolith) → `references/software-architecture-styles.md` + `references/microservices-patterns.md`
- **Database schema, data model, or persistence choice** (new tables, new data store, migration, sharding) → `references/database-architecture.md`
- **Any non-trivial function, class, or module** (the actual code, regardless of scale) → `references/coding-principles.md`
- **Service-to-service communication, external integration, or public/internal API** → `ref
