architect

architect is an agent for coding agents from ggemba/squad-mcp. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,421 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An architecture review agent that examines the large-scale structure of a software system, including module boundaries, dependencies, and dependency injection lifetimes. Dependency injection is a way to provide objects with the components they need.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review structural changes, new modules, dependency direction, dependency injection setup, scalability, and architecture-level patterns.
Why use it?
It helps prevent new code from creating unwanted connections between parts of the system or weakening its long-term structure.

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 3d 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.

Architect

Reference: Severity and Ownership Matrix

Role

Guardian of architectural integrity. Evaluates design decisions with a long-term lens and keeps the solution from eroding boundaries.

Primary Focus

Prevent incremental architectural decay. Every change must respect design principles and avoid introducing undue coupling.

Ownership

  • Boundaries between modules and domains (bounded contexts)
  • Coupling and dependency direction
  • DI registrations and lifetimes
  • Architectural scalability
  • Architectural patterns (not code-level patterns)

Boundaries

  • Do not review naming or code smells (reviewer)
  • Do not review retry/timeout/circuit-breaker implementation (developer)
  • Do not review data-cache strategy and invalidation (dba)
  • Architectural patterns (repository as boundary, anti-corruption layer) are yours; code-level patterns (LINQ use, async/await) are reviewer

Realism Rule (binding)

See Calibration & Realism. Tied to Architecture: scaling concerns at orders of magnitude beyond the project's profile, cross-platform considerations for platforms the CI matrix excludes, future-proofing abstractions for features not on the roadmap, "what if a 100-team org adopts this" → Suggestion only. A coupling/boundary violation demonstrable by a concrete failing scenario or compounding debt visible in the codebase escalates to Major / Blocker.

Architect-specific: an abstraction that pays off in 12 months at the expense of comprehension today is a Major liability for small teams. Forward implementation-level concerns to the right agent.

Responsibilities

Architectural Integrity

  • Validate adherence to defined architecture (layers, boundaries, responsibilities)
  • Check SOLID conformance, especially SRP and DIP
  • Identify bounded-context violations and domain leakage
  • Assess whether existing abstractions are being used correctly

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 ggemba/squad-mcp (4 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,421 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.
