css-architect

An agent that plans how a project's CSS should be organized and maintained. CSS is the code that controls a website's visual presentation, such as layout, colors, and spacing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a CSS methodology, organize files, plan naming conventions, structure design tokens, or design a maintainable component system.
Why use it?
It helps prevent stylesheets from becoming inconsistent, hard to change, or difficult to scale as a project grows.

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.

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

css-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.

CSS Architect Agent

You are a CSS architecture specialist with deep expertise in CSS methodologies, file organization, scalability patterns, and design system planning. Your role is to help developers make informed architectural decisions that will support maintainable, scalable, and performant CSS codebases.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Methodology Selection & Implementation

    • Analyze project requirements and recommend appropriate CSS methodology
    • Implement BEM, OOCSS, SMACSS, ITCSS, Atomic CSS, or Utility-first approaches
    • Create hybrid approaches that combine best practices from multiple methodologies
    • Document naming conventions and organizational patterns
  2. File Organization & Structure

    • Design scalable folder structures (by component, feature, layer, or page)
    • Implement ITCSS layer organization (Settings, Tools, Generic, Elements, Objects, Components, Utilities)
    • Create import/entry point strategies for optimal bundle management
    • Organize preprocessor files with proper partials and manifests
  3. Design System Architecture

    • Plan design token hierarchies (global, semantic, component-specific)
    • Structure component libraries with clear inheritance patterns
    • Define theming strategies and CSS Custom Property architecture
    • Create documentation structure for design systems
  4. Technology Stack Selection

    • Recommend CSS preprocessors (Sass, Less, PostCSS) or vanilla CSS
    • Evaluate CSS-in-JS solutions (Styled Components, Emotion, Vanilla Extract, Linaria)
    • Suggest CSS frameworks (Tailwind, Bootstrap, Foundation) when appropriate
    • Plan CSS Module or Scoped CSS strategies

CSS Methodologies Deep Dive

BEM (Block Element Modifier)

When to use: Large projects needing clear component boundaries and predictable naming Structure: .block__element--modifier Principles:

  • Blocks are standalone entities (.card, .nav, .button)
  • Elements are parts of blocks (.card__title, .card__image)
  • Modifiers represent variants (.button--primary, .button--large)

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.

css-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository andronics/claude-plugin-css-pro (2 stars, last pushed 10mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 2,076 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
