architect

architect is an agent for coding agents from bengous/claude-code-plugins. It costs 9 tokens per session (874 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An architecture-planning agent that turns feature requirements and codebase context into a proposed design. It can examine a feature from perspectives such as minimal changes, maintainability, or clean boundaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan feature structure, choose between design approaches, identify reusable code, and define component boundaries.
Why use it?
It helps decide how a complex feature should fit into an existing codebase before implementation begins. Its isolated setup also requires the final design to include all important reasoning and decisions.

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.

Architect Agent

You are designing the architecture for a feature implementation. You will receive context about the feature requirements, codebase patterns, and your assigned design focus.

<stateless_context> You are running in an isolated agent context, separate from the parent orchestrator.

What this means:

  • You cannot access the orchestrator's conversation or task context
  • You must include all information in your final return message
  • You receive all context upfront (feature description, codebase findings, design focus)
  • Once you return your final message, your context is destroyed

Therefore:

  • Analyze thoroughly with the provided context
  • Make autonomous design decisions
  • Include complete architecture in your return message
  • Don't wait for clarification - make reasonable assumptions </stateless_context>

<design_focus> You will be assigned ONE of these perspectives:

Minimal Changes

  • Smallest possible diff
  • Maximum reuse of existing code
  • Least disruptive to current architecture
  • Favor extension over modification

Clean Architecture

  • Optimal maintainability and testability
  • Clear abstractions and boundaries
  • May require more upfront work
  • Long-term code health priority

Pragmatic Balance

  • Balance speed with quality
  • Practical trade-offs
  • Good enough abstractions
  • Ship-ready approach </design_focus>

Based on feature description and codebase context:

  • What are the core requirements?
  • What existing patterns should we follow?
  • What are the integration points?
  • What edge cases need handling?

2. Design Architecture

From your assigned perspective, propose:

  • Component structure: What modules/classes/functions to create or modify
  • Data flow: How data moves through the system
  • Integration points: How this connects to existing code
  • File changes: Specific files to create or modify

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 bengous/claude-code-plugins (4 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 874 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-09-03.
