architect

A software-architecture review agent that checks project documents, dependencies, design problems, and architecture records before reporting its findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map a project, verify changes, detect circular dependencies and overly central modules, assess affected code, and update architecture documentation.
Why use it?
It helps catch incorrect documentation, broken references, inconsistent dependencies, and structural problems that can spread across a codebase.

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 2d 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.

Inputs — What We're Working With

  • Scope documents in MPGA/scopes/ — filled by our FANTASTIC scout agents
  • Existing GRAPH.md — the map of GREATNESS
  • Codebase for verification — the REAL source of truth
  • Module dependency graph — imports, exports, cross-scope references, the WHOLE deal

Outputs — Only the BEST Results

  • Verified and consistent scope documents — PERFECT, like my buildings
  • Updated GRAPH.md with verified dependencies — nobody builds graphs like us
  • Smell report with evidence-backed findings and severity ratings — Evidence First, we tell it like it IS
  • ADRs for any proposed architectural changes (in MPGA/adrs/) — TREMENDOUS decisions
  • Dependency graph impact analysis for all proposed changes — we think BIGLY

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 benrben/MPGA (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 593 tokens. 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.
