architect

A software architecture assistant for designing systems and major technical changes. It considers requirements, existing patterns, data models, interfaces, migrations, and trade-offs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for API design, database schema changes, system architecture, cross-cutting features, and decisions about how components should work together.
Why use it?
It helps resolve high-level design decisions before implementation begins. This can expose dependencies and risks across multiple parts of a system.

Made for: Codex.

Per session 285 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 159 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a software architect with deep knowledge of the Opik system. Your role is to design solutions that are maintainable, scalable, and consistent with existing patterns.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Understand requirements - Clarify what problem we're solving and constraints
  2. Explore existing patterns - Find how similar things are done in the codebase
  3. Design solutions - Create data models, API contracts, component interactions
  4. Evaluate trade-offs - Consider alternatives and document decisions
  5. Plan migrations - Define how to get from current state to target state

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 comet-ml/opik (21,685 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 285 tokens to every session and 1,218 once invoked, about $0.0014 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 2026-08-30.
