Tekton — the shared architecture-intent substrate for co-designing systems with the agent. One typed graph across six tiers (system / journey / data / infra / decisions / qualities); views are queries, not separate diagrams. The canonical artifact is a diff-friendly YAML model both human and agent read and write; it renders to Mermaid (agent-legible, GitHub-native) and a self-contained tabbed HTML viewer (human-visual). Cross-tier traceability (tekton query ) answers "which infra does this user-journey step touch?" as a path query. USE WHEN: designing or thinking deeply about architecture, a system, a data model, user journeys/flows, or a technical plan WITH the agent; when a Category-C HTML doc isn't enough because you need to see AND edit AND traverse the design across tiers; "let's design X", "architect this", "model the system", "draw the flow", "how does this fit together", "diagram this", "/tekton". NOT FOR: a one-off throwaway diagram (use Mermaid inline); prose-only ADRs (write the ADR); implementation itself. Triggers on: design architecture, model the system, user journey, data model, tekton.

Quick start
Copy the install prompt. Use the green button above this README.
Send it to your agent. Paste it into your coding agent’s chat and send.
Review the setup. Your agent checks the skill’s instructions, requirements, and installation scope.
