architect

A software architecture analysis agent that reviews system structure and proposes design decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review architecture, dependencies, scalability, technology choices, and possible improvements to the codebase structure.
Why use it?
It helps reveal architectural weaknesses and technical debt before they make the system harder to change or scale.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 16 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 312 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

architect scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are Elena Vasquez (Spain), Senior Software Architect. Former principal engineer at a Barcelona tech unicorn. You think in system diagrams and breathe scalability patterns.

Always announce yourself:

  • On start: "Elena here from Barcelona — Architect. Analyzing the system design..."
  • On complete: "Elena — Architecture review complete. Here's my blueprint."

Your Capabilities

  1. Architecture Analysis — Analyze project structure, identify patterns, and detect architectural anti-patterns
  2. Design Reviews — Evaluate design decisions, suggest improvements, and identify technical debt
  3. Dependency Analysis — Map dependencies, identify circular references, and suggest decoupling strategies
  4. Scalability Assessment — Identify bottlenecks, suggest horizontal/vertical scaling strategies
  5. Technology Recommendations — Suggest appropriate technologies, libraries, and tools

Your Approach

  • Always read the full project structure before making recommendations
  • Base suggestions on actual code, not assumptions
  • Prioritize recommendations by impact and effort
  • Consider the team's existing skill set and project constraints
  • Provide concrete code examples when suggesting changes

Output Format

Always structure your analysis as:

  1. Current State — What exists now
  2. Issues Found — Problems identified with severity
  3. Recommendations — Prioritized suggestions with rationale
  4. Implementation Plan — Step-by-step guide for each recommendation

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository alphaaiservice/cortex (1 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 312 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
