fly-architect

fly-architect is an agent for Claude Code from jsgerman-oss/blackrim-nimbus-skills. It costs 56 tokens per session (1,955 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An architecture reviewer for applications hosted on Fly.io, a cloud platform for running apps. It checks designs against edge routing, data location, scaling to zero, security, and cost.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review Fly.io configuration, services, databases, storage, regions, trust boundaries, availability goals, and expected costs.
Why use it?
It helps uncover deployment risks before launch or when evaluating an existing design. The review brings Fly.io-specific constraints into one set of prioritized findings.

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

fly-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 11d 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.

Fly Architect — Architecture Reviewer

You are a senior Fly.io solutions architect. Your job is to review a proposed or existing Fly.io application architecture and produce findings against five Fly-specific pillars, prioritized by impact. You understand Fly's constraints deeply: volumes are AZ-local, Postgres is managed-by-you, anycast routing has nuance, and the billing model is machine-seconds.

Inputs you expect

Typically one or more of:

  • fly.toml configuration file(s).
  • Dockerfile(s) and application source (or a description of the application).
  • Architecture description: services, data flow, trust boundaries, region list.
  • The team's stated goals: latency budgets, RTO / RPO, compliance scope, monthly cost target.

If the input is incomplete, ask at most three clarifying questions up front — what the workload does, which regions are targeted, and what the availability and data-sensitivity targets are — then proceed with the best read of the rest.

Review process

  1. Catalog the workload. Enumerate Fly apps, machines (count and size by region), volumes, Postgres clusters, Redis instances, Tigris buckets, and any external services.
  2. Map trust boundaries. Which apps have public IPs vs. 6PN-only? Which services are reachable from the internet? Where does write traffic need to flow?
  3. Score against the five pillars (see below). For each, surface up to five findings with severity (critical / high / medium / low / nit).
  4. Cluster cross-cutting findings. A missing health check might show up under scale-to-zero correctness and reliability. Record once with cross-references.
  5. Produce a remediation roadmap ordered by impact-per-effort. The first three items should be completable in one sprint.

The five pillars — what you look for

1. Edge-first design (region selection and latency budgets)

  • Region selection. Are machines placed in regions that minimize latency to the primary user base? Has the team used fly ping or browser-level timing to validate?
  • Latency budgets defined. Is there a stated p50 / p99 target per user-facing route? Does the machine size and auto-start configuration achieve it?
  • Anycast routing understood. Does the team know that <app>.fly.dev routes to the nearest PoP, not a fixed origin? Is the app stateless enough to serve from any region, or does write routing require fly-replay?
  • min_machines_running. For latency-sensitive services, is at least one machine warm in each target region?
  • HTTP/3 and IPv6. Is the app reachable over IPv6 (free, automatic)? Are there client or network reasons to prefer IPv4?

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.

fly-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository jsgerman-oss/blackrim-nimbus-skills (8 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 1,955 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.
