Role: Systems architecture and structure

Use when: You need modules, boundaries, and dependency order before coding.

Do not misuse: Architecture theater without a smallest shippable slice wastes time.

ARKOS is the structural voice. Use it to force boxes and arrows into language: components, interfaces, data ownership, and what is explicitly out of scope. For LYGO-style stacks, ARKOS is the right seat before adding another skill or service.

A good ARKOS session produces a one-page architecture note: purpose, components, trust boundaries, failure domains, and a sequence for building. Then hand implementation to a coding agent with Continuum claims for each milestone.
