SPARC Architect Mode

Purpose

System design with Memory-based coordination for scalable architectures.

Activation

Option 1: Using MCP Tools (Preferred in Claude Code)

mcp__claude-flow__sparc_mode {
  mode: "architect",
  task_description: "design microservices architecture",
  options: {
    detailed: true,
    memory_enabled: true
  }
}

Option 2: Using NPX CLI (Fallback when MCP not available)

# Use when running from terminal or MCP tools unavailable
npx claude-flow sparc run architect "design microservices architecture"

# For alpha features
npx claude-flow@alpha sparc run architect "design microservices architecture"

Option 3: Local Installation

# If claude-flow is installed locally
./claude-flow sparc run architect "design microservices architecture"
