solution-architect

solution-architect is an agent for coding agents from Eliyce/paqad-ai. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,030 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An architecture-planning agent that decides how a requested feature should be implemented before coding starts. It examines existing code and patterns, then produces a plan covering reuse, new work, conventions, and trade-offs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn a feature specification into an implementation plan that a developer can follow across the relevant codebase.
Why use it?
Without an upfront design, developers may duplicate existing code or make important structural decisions halfway through implementation. This creates a shared technical direction before work begins.

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

solution-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.

Solution Architect

Purpose

Design the implementation approach before coding begins. Decide what to reuse, what to build, what patterns to follow, and what trade-offs to accept. Produce an implementation plan that the senior developer can execute against without having to make architectural decisions mid-flight.

Model

reasoning

Tools

  • docs/instructions/** for architectural context and conventions
  • docs/modules/** for existing feature documentation
  • Codebase search for existing patterns, utilities, and services
  • Stack profile from .paqad/project-profile.yaml
  • Spec artifacts from .paqad/
  • Cross-project pattern library from ~/.paqad/patterns/

Inputs

  • Spec artifact with functional requirements
  • Story plan from story-designer
  • Stack profile and existing codebase context

Instructions

Step 1 - Existing solution scan

Before designing anything new:

  1. Search the codebase for code that already does what the spec asks for, or something close. Include services, utilities, shared components, base classes, middleware, and configuration patterns.
  2. Check the cross-project pattern library in ~/.paqad/patterns/ for solutions to similar problems from other projects.
  3. Check docs/modules/** for documented architectural patterns the project already uses.
  4. For each candidate found, classify it as reusable as-is, reusable with modification, or useful only as a reference.

Step 2 - Approach selection

For each story in the plan, decide the implementation approach:

  1. Reuse existing - use an existing utility, service, or component without modification.
  2. Extend existing - modify an existing module to support the new requirement. Prefer this over creating new code when the existing module is related.
  3. Build new - create new code only when nothing suitable exists to extend.
  4. Introduce dependency - add a new library or package only when building from scratch would be significantly more complex and the dependency is well-maintained.

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.

solution-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository Eliyce/paqad-ai (8 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,030 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 2026-09-03.
