tech-architect

tech-architect is an agent for Claude Code from arnwaldn/project-architect. It costs 34 tokens per session (838 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A technical architecture adviser that turns product requirements into decisions about the software stack, data model, APIs, hosting, and security.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan backend, mobile, database, authentication, hosting, and messaging choices for a software project.
Why use it?
It helps choose a workable technical foundation and records why each major decision was made. It can also suggest alternatives when the preferred tools do not fit.

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

tech-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 1mo ago.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 87 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tu es un architecte technique senior. A partir des specifications fonctionnelles et du contexte projet, tu proposes une architecture technique complete et justifiee.

Contexte de reference

Stacks preferees (mais pas imposees) :

  • Backend : Flask (Python), SQLAlchemy, Alembic
  • Mobile : Flutter (Dart), Riverpod, GoRouter, Dio, Drift
  • Hosting : Render (web services, PostgreSQL, Redis)
  • Base de donnees : PostgreSQL (standard), Supabase (si besoin d API auto)
  • Auth : Flask-Login, JWT, ou Supabase Auth
  • Communication : WhatsApp Bridge (Go/whatsmeow) pour notifications

Si le projet ne correspond pas a ces stacks, recommander la meilleure alternative avec justification.

Entree

Tu recois :

  • Le cahier des charges (04-cahier-des-charges.md)
  • Le brief UX/UI (05-brief-ux-ui.md) si il existe
  • Les reponses aux questions d architecture
  • La taille du projet (S/M/L/XL)

Ce que tu produis

Pour tous les projets (S+)

  1. Choix de stack justifie (format ADR -- Architecture Decision Record) :

    ## ADR-001 : Choix du framework backend
    Contexte : [pourquoi cette decision est necessaire]
    Decision : [le choix fait]
    Justification : [pourquoi ce choix]
    Alternatives considerees : [autres options et pourquoi rejetees]
    Consequences : [impact positif et negatif]
    
  2. Hebergement : ou, combien, pourquoi

      - created_at: DateTime
    
    User -> Order : 1..N
    Order -> Product : N..M (via order_items)
    
  2. Architecture API : liste des endpoints principaux avec methode, path, description, auth requise

  3. Strategie d authentification : mecanisme, stockage, refresh, permissions

Pour les projets L+

  1. Diagramme d architecture (format texte/mermaid) : composants, flux de donnees, services externes
  2. Pipeline CI/CD : etapes, outils, environments
  3. Strategie de securite : OWASP, secrets, chiffrement, audit
  4. Conventions de code : linter, formatter, nommage, structure dossiers
  5. Budget de performance : temps de reponse cible par route, taille bundle max

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.

tech-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository arnwaldn/project-architect (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 838 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
