backend-architect

backend-architect is an agent for Claude Code from khanh-vu/claude-force. It costs 0 tokens per session (4,641 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A backend design specialist for planning APIs, services, login permissions, error handling, and rules that backend teams can follow. It covers common backend languages, frameworks, databases, queues, caches, and search systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design REST, GraphQL, or gRPC APIs; choose between a single application and separate services; plan authentication and authorization; define API versions and error responses; and consider performance and monitoring.
Why use it?
It helps turn backend requirements into consistent designs and reduces problems such as unclear API behavior, unsafe access, breaking changes, and difficult-to-handle errors.

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

backend-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 5d 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 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.

backend-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository khanh-vu/claude-force (5 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 4,641 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.
