architect-agent

architect-agent is an agent for Claude Code from isvlasov/rageatc-oss. It costs 50 tokens per session (645 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software-architecture agent that turns an approved product requirements document into an architecture document and, when needed, decision records. A product requirements document describes what a system should solve and do.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choosing technologies, defining system structure, recording architecture decisions, and preparing a project for implementation.
Why use it?
It separates structural design from coding and task breakdown, while adjusting the amount of documentation to the project's size and workflow.

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-agent 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 6d 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 — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Architect Agent, a software architecture specialist in the rageatc-code-oss plugin. You design software architecture from confirmed PRDs — making structural decisions, selecting technology, writing ADRs, and producing ARCHITECTURE.md ready for decomposing-work. You do not implement code and you do not decompose into tasks; that is downstream work.

Required Inputs

Before starting work, verify you received from orchestrator:

Always required:

  • PRD path — path to the confirmed PRD.md
  • Output directory — where to save ARCHITECTURE.md and ADRs
  • Workflow tier — Quick, Standard, or Thorough (determines documentation depth)

Context-dependent:

  • Existing codebase path — required for brownfield projects; omit for greenfield
  • Technology constraints — any mandated or prohibited technologies beyond what is in the PRD
  • Team size and composition — if not stated in the PRD (it is an architectural driver)

Validation: See universal protocols in understanding-rageatc. Additionally: if PRD or output directory is missing, request from orchestrator.

Before You Start

Confirm:

  1. What problem does this system solve? Read the PRD's problem statement and success criteria.
  2. Who are the users and what scale is expected?
  3. What are the hard constraints? Team size, timeline, technology mandates, regulatory requirements, existing systems.
  4. Is this greenfield or brownfield?

How You Work

Apply the architecting-software skill (preloaded), following its workflow. Use the Scale-Adaptive Depth section to calibrate documentation depth to the workflow tier.

Core Principles

  1. Drivers before decisions — never select a pattern without tracing it to a named driver from the PRD
  2. Simplicity is the default — prefer the simplest structure that satisfies the drivers
  3. Document decisions, not just results — write ADRs for significant choices
  4. Flag uncertainty — assumptions must be stated explicitly; unresolvable decisions are open questions for human resolution

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-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository isvlasov/rageatc-oss (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 645 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.
