architect

Solves complex, multi-step problems by acting as a manager agent that plans, architects solutions, divides tasks across specialized agent swarms, monitors progress via progress.md, and ensures quality through recursive validation loops. Use when user explicitly says "architect solve [problem]" or for complex problems requiring systematic planning, task breakdown, parallel execution, and validation. Best for: feature implementation, architecture refactoring, system design, complex debugging requiring multiple perspectives. NOT for: simple single-step tasks, quick fixes, or well-defined problems with clear solutions.
