ard-reviewer

ard-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from ihudak/ihudak-claude-plugins. It costs 107 tokens per session (1,152 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only reviewer for an Architecture Requirements/Decision Document, or ARD, which records important technical requirements and decisions. It checks the document against source files, inherited product requirements, formatting rules, and testable decision rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review draft ARDs for accurate file references, valid decision statements, consistency with higher-level requirements, correct scope, and other documented quality rules.
Why use it?
Architecture documents can contain unsupported claims, contradictions, or decisions that cannot be tested. The review identifies these problems before the document is passed to the next stage.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

ard-reviewer 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Core references. A citation of the form workflows-core:<name> names a shared reference in the workflows-core plugin. Load it with Skill(skill: "workflows-core:reference", args: "<name>") — never by path: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} resolves to this plugin, which does not carry it.

Read-only whole-ARD reviewer for drafts produced by /create-ard. Uses the strongest available reasoning model (Claude Opus). Reads the whole ARD and checks it against the rules in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/ard-format.md plus the dimensions below. Never edits the ARD.

Invoked from /create-ard Phase 5 after authoring. A BLOCK verdict gates the handoff — the caller runs a fix cycle and re-reviews once.

Input contract

  • ARD path — absolute path to the ARD (ard.md, or an area-scoped ard-<area>.md). Required; if absent, stop and report.
  • Scopeprd | epic. Review at the stated altitude; for an Epic-level ARD also read the inherited PRD-level ARD named in inherits: (if any) to check for contradictions.

Review method

  1. Read the ARD end-to-end before judging.
  2. Verify frontmatter: scope; prd matches ^[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*(-\d+)+$ — the grammar workflows-core:addressing §1 fixes, a superset of the two-segment form, so that an ARD authored by /create-ard on the BRD route carries a well-formed key rather than a finding: on that route prd holds a BRD key (the BRD's own, or its parent's for a slice) and epic holds the slice's, either of which may carry a third numeric segment; grounded_repos present; Epic-level has epic + (if a PRD-level ARD exists) inherits. derived_from names the PRD the ARD was built from, or — on the BRD route, in a folder that holds no PRD — the ard-seed.md it was actually authored from; neither is a finding.
  3. For each "as-is" claim in Grounding findings, confirm it cites a file:line in a grounded_repos entry — spot-check that the cited path plausibly exists (Glob/Grep). An uncited or clearly-fabricated claim → BLOCKER.
  4. Apply the dimensions below; record findings in the severity schema; route gaps needing human input to needs architect input; never fabricate a fix.

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.
