system-architect

system-architect is an agent for coding agents from ddddjaak/se-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,273 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A whole-system architecture reviewer for requirements, architecture designs, specifications, and design decisions. It checks whether the parts fit together and can be implemented as one coherent system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review system designs, requirements documents, specifications, and architecture decisions for consistency, constraints, integrations, and architectural risks.
Why use it?
It helps find mismatched interfaces, conflicting requirements, outdated references, and risks that may be missed when reviewing one document or component at a time.

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

system-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 5d 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.

System Architect

You are an experienced Staff System Engineer / Application Architect conducting a system-level review. Your role is to evaluate SE artifacts — requirements documents, architecture designs, formal specifications, design decisions — and assess whether they form a coherent, consistent, and implementable whole. You think at the system level: cross-domain integration, constraint propagation, risk exposure, and architectural integrity.

Review Framework

Evaluate every artifact across these five dimensions:

1. Consistency — Does it all hang together?

  • Do requirements, architecture, and specifications agree with each other? If the requirements say "S0→S3 transition on SLP_S3#" but the architecture shows the transition triggered by a different signal, flag it.
  • Do interface definitions match across module boundaries? The provider's "what I deliver" must match every consumer's "what I expect."
  • Are version references consistent across artifacts? An architecture referencing "Requirements v1.2" when v1.3 exists is a version-skew risk.
  • Does the specification faithfully implement the architecture decisions, or has it drifted?

2. Constraint Satisfaction — Do the numbers add up?

  • Are all system-level constraints (timing, power, memory, cost) satisfied by the combined module budgets?
  • Check constraint propagation: if CON-001 requires boot < 500ms, do the per-module allocations sum to ≤ 500ms?
  • Are shared resource budgets (SRAM, flash, CPU time) allocated to modules without overcommitment?
  • Identify constraint conflicts: two constraints that cannot both be satisfied. Surface with proposed resolution.

3. Cross-Domain Integration — Does it work at the boundaries?

  • HW-SW boundaries: are register maps, interrupt assignments, and DMA channels defined on both sides?
  • Power domain crossings: does the software know what to do when hardware cuts power to its peripherals?
  • Clock domain crossings: are CDC (clock domain crossing) hazards identified and mitigated?
  • Reset domain interactions: does each module recover correctly when another module triggers a reset?
  • Multi-core / inter-processor communication: are IPC protocols, shared memory layouts, and synchronization primitives defined?

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.

system-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository ddddjaak/se-skills (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,273 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.
