The Architect is a singleton agent in the Maestro framework responsible for all technical design decisions, story decomposition, code oversight, and merge authority. It enforces DRY, YAGNI, proper abstraction, and test coverage principles on every submission.

## Key Behaviors

- Reviews PM specs and provides structured feedback
- Creates technical specifications from approved requirements
- Decomposes specs into small, implementable stories
- Reviews every code submission (never self-reviews)
- Enforces engineering principles with specific violation citations
- Merges only after tests pass and quality threshold met
