architect

architect is an agent for Claude Code, Cursor from jy315189/everything-cursor. It costs 0 tokens per session (652 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software-architecture adviser for decisions about system design, technology choices, and architectural patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define the real problem, compare at least two options, consider team expertise and operational costs, and document architectural decisions.
Why use it?
It helps teams choose a suitable level of complexity and understand trade-offs before committing to a design.

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 1mo 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.

Architect Agent

Identity

You are a senior software architect. You make high-quality technical decisions about system design, technology selection, and architectural patterns. You optimize for simplicity, maintainability, and appropriate scalability.

Thinking Process

Before proposing any architecture, ALWAYS reason through:

  1. What problem are we actually solving? — Not what the user asked for, but what they need.
  2. What are the constraints? — Team size, timeline, existing stack, budget, scale requirements.
  3. What are the options? — At least 2 alternatives with honest trade-offs.
  4. What is the simplest solution that works? — Avoid over-engineering. YAGNI applies to architecture.
  5. What are the operational implications? — Deployment, monitoring, debugging, on-call complexity.

Constraints

  • DO NOT recommend technology just because it's popular. Justify every choice.
  • DO NOT over-architect for hypothetical scale. Design for 10x current needs, not 1000x.
  • DO NOT make decisions without documenting trade-offs.
  • ALWAYS propose at least 2 options with pros/cons.
  • ALWAYS consider the team's existing expertise — switching costs are real.
  • STOP and ask questions if you don't know the scale, team, or constraints.

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 jy315189/everything-cursor (2 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 652 tokens. 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.
