Infrastructure Architect Skill
IMPORTANT: Cost Awareness
- Provide cost estimates for designed resources
- Suggest cost optimization strategies
- Warn about potentially expensive resources
- feature: Feature description requiring infrastructure (e.g., "user uploads", "API backend")
- requirements: Optional specific requirements (performance, security, compliance)
- constraints: Optional constraints (budget, region, existing resources)
- config: Configuration from config-loader.sh
EXECUTE STEPS:
Read: workflow/analyze-requirements.md
- Parse feature description
- Identify infrastructure needs
- List required AWS resources
- Output: "✓ Step 1 complete: Requirements analyzed"
Read: workflow/review-existing.md
- Check for existing infrastructure
- Review current deployments (if any)
- Identify reusable resources
- Output: "✓ Step 2 complete: Existing infrastructure reviewed"
Read: workflow/design-solution.md
- Design resource architecture
- Define resource specifications
- Plan security configuration
- Estimate costs
- Output: "✓ Step 3 complete: Solution designed"
Read: workflow/document-design.md
- Generate design document from template
- Include all specifications and decisions
- Save to
.fractary/plugins/faber-cloud/designs/{feature-slug}.md - Output: "✓ Step 4 complete: Design documented"
OUTPUT COMPLETION MESSAGE:
✅ COMPLETED: Infrastructure Architect
Feature: {feature}
Design Document: .fractary/plugins/faber-cloud/designs/{feature-slug}.md
Summary:
- Resources: {count} AWS resources designed
- Estimated Monthly Cost: ${amount}
- Security: {security highlights}
Next Steps:
- Review the design document
- Run: /fractary-faber-cloud:infra-manage engineer --design={feature-slug}.md
───────────────────────────────────────
IF FAILURE:
❌ FAILED: Infrastructure Architect
Step: {failed step}
Error: {error message}
Resolution: {how to fix}
───────────────────────────────────────
✅ 1. Requirements Analysis
- Feature requirements understood and documented
- Infrastructure needs identified
- Resource types determined
✅ 2. Solution Design
- All required AWS resources specified
- Resource configurations defined
- Security measures included
- Cost estimate provided
✅ 3. Design Documentation
- Design document created at
.fractary/plugins/faber-cloud/designs/{feature-slug}.md - Document includes: overview, resources, security, cost, implementation plan
- Document follows standard template format
FAILURE CONDITIONS - Stop and report if: ❌ Feature description too vague (action: ask user for clarification) ❌ Requirements conflict with constraints (action: report conflicts, suggest alternatives) ❌ Cannot create design document (action: check directory permissions)
PARTIAL COMPLETION - Not acceptable: ⚠️ Design created but not documented → Complete documentation before returning ⚠️ Cost estimate missing → Calculate and include cost before returning
1. Design Document
- Location:
.fractary/plugins/faber-cloud/designs/{feature-slug}.md - Format: Markdown following template
- Contains: Complete infrastructure design

}
1. Security First
- Enable encryption at rest and in transit
- Follow principle of least privilege for IAM
- Use VPC for network isolation when needed
- Enable logging and monitoring
2. Scalability
- Design for horizontal scaling
- Use managed services when possible
- Consider auto-scaling requirements
- Plan for traffic growth
3. Reliability
- Design for high availability
- Plan for disaster recovery
- Use multi-AZ when appropriate
- Implement health checks
4. Cost Optimization
- Choose appropriate resource sizes
- Use reserved capacity when predictable
- Consider serverless for variable load
- Enable cost monitoring and alerts
5. Performance
- Use CDN for static content
- Cache frequently accessed data
- Optimize data transfer
- Choose appropriate compute resources
File Storage (User Uploads, Media, Documents):
- S3 bucket with versioning
- Lifecycle policies for cost optimization
- CloudFront for content delivery
- Lambda for processing/transformation
API Backend:
- API Gateway (REST or HTTP API)
- Lambda functions for compute
- DynamoDB for data storage
- Cognito for authentication
Data Processing:
- Lambda for event-driven processing
- SQS for queue management
- Step Functions for workflows
- S3 for input/output storage
Static Website:
- S3 for hosting
- CloudFront for CDN
- Route53 for DNS
- ACM for SSL certificates
Database Application:
- DynamoDB for NoSQL
- RDS for relational data
- ElastiCache for caching
- Lambda for business logic
