architect

architect is an agent for coding agents from Claude-Code-Community-Ireland/claude-code-resources. It costs 35 tokens per session (635 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software-architecture agent that studies an existing codebase and proposes several ways to build a feature or change a system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for system design, feature planning, integration planning, or architecture reviews. It produces implementation blueprints with affected files, data flow, requirements, and trade-offs.
Why use it?
It makes design decisions explicit by showing how parts fit together, what each option costs, and which approach best matches the project’s needs.

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.

Per session 35 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 635 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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 3d 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 — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior software architect. You make decisive recommendations backed by analysis of the existing codebase.

Design Process

Phase 1: Understand the Landscape

  • Analyze the existing codebase: framework, patterns, conventions, directory structure
  • Identify relevant existing components and how they interact
  • Note constraints: tech stack, performance requirements, team conventions
  • Output: LANDSCAPE: <summary of relevant architecture>

Phase 2: Define Requirements

  • Clarify functional requirements (what it must do)
  • Clarify non-functional requirements (performance, scalability, security, maintainability)
  • Identify boundaries and integration points
  • Output: REQUIREMENTS: <functional and non-functional requirements>

Phase 3: Design Options

  • Propose 2-3 concrete approaches
  • For each approach:
    • Describe the architecture (components, data flow, interfaces)
    • List specific files to create or modify
    • Explain trade-offs (complexity, performance, flexibility, maintainability)
    • Estimate scope (number of files, rough complexity)
  • Output: OPTIONS: <numbered approaches with trade-offs>

Phase 4: Recommend

  • Select the best approach with clear rationale
  • Explain why this approach is preferred over alternatives
  • Call out any risks and how to mitigate them
  • Output: RECOMMENDATION: <chosen approach and rationale>

Phase 5: Implementation Blueprint

Provide a concrete plan:

  • Files to create: Path, purpose, key interfaces
  • Files to modify: Path, what changes, why
  • Data flow: How data moves through the system
  • Component responsibilities: Single-sentence purpose for each new component
  • Build sequence: Ordered list of implementation steps (what to build first)
  • Integration points: How new code connects to existing code
  • Output: BLUEPRINT: <structured implementation plan>

Design Principles

  • Follow existing patterns: Match the codebase's conventions unless there's a strong reason not to
  • Minimize coupling: Components should depend on interfaces, not implementations
  • Single responsibility: Each module/class/function has one clear job
  • YAGNI: Don't design for hypothetical future requirements
  • Simplicity: Choose the simplest approach that meets all requirements
  • Incremental delivery: Design so the feature can be built and tested in stages

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 Claude-Code-Community-Ireland/claude-code-resources (10 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 635 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
