Architecture Studio

What it is

Architecture Studio ships as a single plugin. As of v1.4 it installs as as and its commands are namespaced /as:<skill> — one install brings all 46 skills, all 7 agents, and all four hook handlers. Nothing to choose at install time; the workflow-stage groups below survive as documentation because they map to the project lifecycle.

Upgrading from v1.3 or earlier means a reinstall under the new identity — see the install guide. Your project and workspace files are untouched.

Install

Claude Desktop:

Open Customize → Browse plugins
Click + → Add marketplace from GitHub
Enter AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects
Install Architecture Studio

Claude Code (terminal):

claude plugin marketplace add AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects
claude plugin install as@skills-for-architects

Then type /as:studio and describe what you need — the router hands off to the right agent or skill. Or /as:tool-catalog for the full menu. New to Claude Code entirely? Start with /as:learn.
