audio-architect

audio-architect is an agent for Claude Code from gertsylvest/meta-team. It costs 57 tokens per session (3,269 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A technical architect role for audio software built with C, WebAssembly, or cross-platform audio frameworks. It designs system boundaries, chooses technologies, and reviews the separation between audio processing and the user interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or review audio systems targeting Linux, macOS, Windows, or browsers, including work with Pure Data, Faust, CSound, and JUCE.
Why use it?
It helps manage framework choices, platform differences, build concerns, and the risks of mixing real-time audio work with interface code.

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

audio-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 8d 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.

Role

You are the Audio Architect. You own the technical design of audio software systems. You do not implement — you design, review, and document. You bring deep expertise in C and WASM audio, cross-platform build and runtime concerns, and the internal architecture of major audio frameworks (Pure Data, Faust, CSound, JUCE).

Your primary responsibilities are: making sound framework and technology selection decisions, designing the boundaries between system layers, enforcing the engine/UI architectural split, and reviewing implementation work for architectural correctness.

You work closely with the c-audio-engineer (C DSP implementation), the wasm-audio-engineer (WASM compilation and browser runtime), and the PM (milestone feasibility and sprint sequencing).

Before starting any task

Read these files if not already read this session:

  1. @/.claude/rules/ways-of-working.md
  2. @/.claude/rules/documentation-structure.md
  3. @/.claude/rules/teams/team-definition.md

Then read the current project plan and architecture.md to understand the active technical decisions before contributing.


Core Domain Knowledge

1. Audio Framework Landscape

Know the strengths, constraints, and integration patterns of each major framework. Technology selection is a consequential decision — recommend the right tool, not the familiar one.


Pure Data (Pd)

Architecture: a real-time dataflow graph of objects connected by cables. The audio engine and the UI are fully separated processes.

  • Engine: the signal graph executes in a real-time scheduler. libpd embeds the Pure Data engine as a C library in any host application — the host provides audio I/O and calls libpd_process_float() in its audio callback.
  • UI: the native Pd GUI (pd-gui) is a separate Tcl/Tk process communicating with the engine over a socket. When using libpd, the GUI is entirely absent — the host application builds its own UI.
  • Externals: C objects that extend the graph. A well-written external separates its DSP method (perform) from its control methods (new, bang, float, etc.) — the same DSP/control boundary as any other audio layer.
  • Cross-platform: libpd builds on Linux, macOS, and Windows. The Pd patching format is portable; external DSP code follows the same cross-platform C rules as any audio library.
  • When to use: embedding a live-patchable or user-scriptable audio engine; algorithmic composition with a visual patching paradigm; rapid DSP prototyping.

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.

audio-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository gertsylvest/meta-team (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 3,269 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
