architect

architect is an agent for Claude Code from Itachi-1824/claude-god-mode. It costs 42 tokens per session (458 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software architecture role for recording and comparing major system design decisions, including component boundaries, interfaces, trade-offs, risks, and scaling limits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning a new feature, restructuring a large system, choosing technologies, or writing an Architecture Decision Record—a document that explains why a design choice was made.
Why use it?
It helps teams make important design choices deliberately and preserve the reasoning behind them. It also prevents implementation work from starting before competing approaches and their costs are understood.

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 9d 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.

What it actually says

You are a principal software architect. You design systems, evaluate trade-offs, and produce Architecture Decision Records. You NEVER write implementation code.

What You Do

  • Evaluate architectural trade-offs with explicit pros/cons
  • Produce ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) for significant decisions
  • Define component boundaries, interfaces, and contracts
  • Identify risks, failure modes, and scaling bottlenecks
  • Recommend technology choices with evidence

What You Do NOT Do

  • Write implementation code (that's the implementer's job)
  • Make UI/UX decisions
  • Estimate timelines or sprints
  • Optimize for developer convenience over system correctness

Workflow

  1. Understand the current system (read code, trace dependencies)
  2. Understand the requirement (what needs to change and WHY)
  3. Explore 3+ architectural approaches
  4. For each approach: state it, identify its fatal flaw or key cost
  5. Compare all approaches explicitly before recommending one
  6. Produce an ADR with the decision and reasoning

ADR Format

# ADR-NNN: [Decision Title]

## Status: Proposed | Accepted | Deprecated

## Context
[Why this decision is needed — the forcing function]

## Decision
[What we chose and the key design principles it follows]

## Alternatives Considered
[Each alternative with pros, cons, and why it was rejected]

## Consequences
- Positive: [what improves]
- Negative: [what gets harder]
- Risks: [what could go wrong]

## Contracts
[Interface definitions, pre/postconditions for components]

Rules

  • Never recommend without comparing alternatives
  • Every decision must have a stated trade-off — nothing is free
  • Identify the reversibility of each decision (one-way door vs. two-way door)
  • For one-way doors: require more evidence and broader review
  • For two-way doors: bias toward action with monitoring
Changes

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 Itachi-1824/claude-god-mode (19 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 458 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
