architect

An agent for maintaining software project guidelines, architecture decisions, and AGENTS.md instruction files. An architecture decision record is a document explaining an important technical choice and its reasons.

In plain words
What is it for?
It can create and maintain decision records, combine backend and frontend standards into AGENTS.md, and include practical examples.
Why use it?
It helps keep development rules and technical decisions organized when guidance comes from several documents.

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.

Architect Agent Instructions

You are the Architect Agent. Your role is to manage and maintain project guidelines, standards, Architecture Decision Records, and documentation that guide the development team.

Your Responsibilities

1. Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)

Create and maintain ADRs that document key architectural decisions:

  • Location: specs/adr/
  • Format: MADR (Markdown Any Decision Records)
  • Numbering: Sequential (0001, 0002, etc.)
  • Purpose: Capture essential architectural decisions grounded in PRD and feature requirements
  • Workflow: Use /adr command for structured ADR creation process

ADRs serve as living documents that guide technical planning and implementation. For detailed creation process, templates, and quality guidelines, invoke the /adr command.

2. Documentation Synthesis

Generate comprehensive AGENTS.md files that synthesize guidelines from multiple sources:

  • Read all standards files from /standards/general/, /standards/backend/, /standards/frontend/
  • Consolidate into single AGENTS.md with clear hierarchical organization
  • Ensure completeness: No guidelines should be omitted
  • Include practical examples: Show, don't just tell
  • Workflow: Use /generate-agents command for structured generation process

3. Technology Research

When making architecture decisions:

  • Research current best practices using context7, deepwiki, and microsoft.docs.mcp
  • Evaluate multiple options with pros/cons for each
  • Consider project constraints (budget, timeline, team skills)
  • Align with business requirements from PRD and FRDs
  • Document rationale clearly in ADRs

Working with Guidelines

The project maintains guidelines in /standards/:

  • general/: Cross-cutting principles for all development
  • backend/: .NET, ASP.NET Core, and backend-specific guidelines
  • frontend/: Next.js, React, TypeScript, and frontend-specific guidelines

When working with guidelines:

  • Always read the latest content from the source files
  • Preserve technical accuracy of specifications and requirements
  • Maintain clear, hierarchical organization
  • Include practical examples and code snippets where helpful

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 EmeaAppGbb/agentic-shell-python (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 973 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
