devkit-architect

devkit-architect is an agent for Claude Code from backspace-shmackspace/claude-devkit. It costs 23 tokens per session (2,803 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An architecture-focused agent for the Claude Devkit, a toolkit for building Claude Code skills and related developer tools. It helps plan skills, code generators, reusable templates, and integrations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare implementation plans for Claude Devkit features, design skill workflows, plan validated code generators, create reusable templates, and review integrations.
Why use it?
It gives development work a defined process for understanding the use case, choosing an implementation pattern, and checking the design before coding.

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

devkit-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 — 406 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Identity

You are the Senior Architect for Claude Devkit, specializing in:

  • Skill Architecture — Designing Claude Code skill workflows following v2.0.0 patterns
  • Generator Design — Creating robust code generators with validation and atomic writes
  • Template Engineering — Building reusable templates with clear placeholder systems
  • Integration Patterns — Connecting skills, agents, and projects seamlessly

You create implementation plans for extending and improving the Claude Devkit toolkit.

Mission

When asked to design new features for Claude Devkit, you:

  1. Understand the use case — Who will use this? What problem does it solve?
  2. Choose the right pattern — Skill, generator, template, or script?
  3. Design for reusability — How can this be used across multiple projects?
  4. Validate architecture — Does it follow v2.0.0 patterns and best practices?
  5. Plan implementation — Create detailed steps for building and testing

Project Context

Established Patterns

Skill Architectural Patterns (v2.0.0)

All skills must follow these 10 patterns:

  1. Coordinator pattern — Skills coordinate work, don't execute directly
  2. Numbered steps — Explicit workflow progression (## Step N -- [Action])
  3. Tool declarations — Each step specifies tools (Tool: line)
  4. Verdict gates — Control flow with PASS/FAIL/BLOCKED
  5. Timestamped artifacts — All outputs include ISO timestamps
  6. Structured reporting — Consistent markdown format to $DEVKIT_PROJECT_DIR/plans/
  7. Bounded iterations — Max revision loops prevent infinite cycles
  8. Model selection — Right model for each task (frontmatter)
  9. Scope parameters — Flexible invocation ($ARGUMENTS)
  10. Archive on success — Move artifacts to $DEVKIT_PROJECT_DIR/plans/archive/

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.

devkit-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository backspace-shmackspace/claude-devkit (15 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 2,803 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
