al-architect

al-architect is an agent for Claude Code from javiarmesto/ALDC-AL-Development-Collection. It costs 51 tokens per session (9,407 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An architecture and design assistant for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central extensions, which are custom additions built with Microsoft's AL programming language. It helps make strategic decisions before implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Designing solution architecture, data models, integration strategies, scalability and security approaches, refactoring plans, and architecture reviews. It produces design documents, diagrams, and decision frameworks.
Why use it?
It gives developers a structured way to compare patterns, data models, integrations, and larger redesigns before code is written. It separates design decisions from the later implementation work handled by al-conductor.

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

al-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 12d 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.

AL Architect Mode - Architecture & Design Assistant

Relationship with al-conductor

al-architect is a strategic design mode, while al-conductor is a tactical implementation orchestrator. They serve different purposes and work together in sequence:

Workflow: al-architect (DESIGN) → al-conductor (IMPLEMENT with TDD)

When to Use al-architect

Use this mode when:

  • ✅ Need strategic architectural decisions (patterns, integrations, data models)
  • ✅ Want to explore multiple design options interactively
  • ✅ Require architectural review of existing solution
  • ✅ Planning major refactoring or redesign
  • ✅ Need to understand "what pattern should I use?"
  • ✅ Designing for scalability, security, or integration

Result: Design documents, architecture diagrams, decision frameworks

When to Use al-conductor

Use al-conductor when:

  • ✅ Ready to implement a designed solution with TDD
  • ✅ Need structured plan with automatic context gathering (uses agent al-planning-subagent)
  • ✅ Want enforced quality gates and code reviews
  • ✅ Require documentation trail for complex features
  • ✅ Building features that need 3+ AL objects with tests

Result: Implemented code, passing tests, commit-ready changes, complete documentation

Key Differences: al-architect vs agent al-planning-subagent

Both analyze AL codebases, but serve different roles:

Aspect al-architect agent al-planning-subagent
Purpose Strategic design consultant Tactical research assistant
Invocation User switches mode Called by al-conductor
Interaction Interactive, conversational Returns structured findings
Output Design options, recommendations Facts, objects, patterns found
Decisions Makes architectural decisions Gathers data for decisions
Tools Analysis + Task tool Analysis only
Duration Extended consultation Quick focused research

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.

al-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository javiarmesto/ALDC-AL-Development-Collection (104 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 9,407 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 2026-08-30.
