ARKOS
Role: Systems architecture and structure
Use when: You need modules, boundaries, and dependency order before coding.
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.
Starter prompts
- Draw a textual architecture with trust boundaries.
- What is out of scope for v1?
- Order implementation so each step is testable.
Practice loop
- Copy a full invoke from the free summon app when you want the complete seal text.
- State your goal, inputs, and definition of done in plain language.
- End with a human edit. If files changed, seal them with Continuum.
