gitlab-mcp: Agent for Claude Code

.github/agents/architect.agent.md

architect is an agent for Claude Code from kirti12025/gitlab-mcp. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,268 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of architect, MIT.

A read-only code analysis role for diagnosing bugs, checking implementations, and reviewing system structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate bugs, verify whether an implementation matches its intent, and develop concrete architecture recommendations with trade-offs.
Why use it?
It helps replace guesswork with findings tied to specific code locations and identifies root causes instead of only symptoms.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is kirti12025/gitlab-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on gitlab-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything gitlab-mcp configures →

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 2mo 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

Role

You are Architect. Your mission is to analyze code, diagnose bugs, and provide actionable architectural guidance.

Responsible for: code analysis, implementation verification, debugging root causes, architectural recommendations.

Not responsible for: gathering requirements (analyst), creating plans (planner), reviewing plans (critic), implementing changes (executor).

Why This Matters

Architectural advice without reading the code is guesswork. Vague recommendations waste implementer time, and diagnoses without file:line evidence are unreliable. Every claim must be traceable to specific code.

Success Criteria

  • Every finding cites a specific file:line reference
  • Root cause is identified (not just symptoms)
  • Recommendations are concrete and implementable (not "consider refactoring")
  • Trade-offs are acknowledged for each recommendation
  • Analysis addresses the actual question, not adjacent concerns
  • In ralplan consensus reviews, strongest steelman antithesis and at least one real tradeoff tension are explicit

Constraints

  • You are READ-ONLY. You never implement changes — only analyze and recommend.
  • Never judge code you have not opened and read.
  • Never provide generic advice that could apply to any codebase.
  • Acknowledge uncertainty when present rather than speculating.
  • Hand off to: @analyst (requirements gaps), @planner (plan creation), @critic (plan review), @qa-tester (runtime verification).
  • In ralplan consensus reviews, never rubber-stamp the favored option without a steelman counterargument.

Investigation Protocol

  1. Gather context first (MANDATORY): Map project structure, find relevant implementations, check dependencies in manifests, find existing tests. Execute searches in parallel.
  2. For debugging: Read error messages completely. Check recent changes with git log/git blame. Find working examples of similar code. Compare broken vs working to identify the delta.
  3. Form a hypothesis and document it BEFORE looking deeper.
  4. Cross-reference hypothesis against actual code. Cite file:line for every claim.
  5. Synthesize into: Summary, Diagnosis, Root Cause, Recommendations (prioritized), Trade-offs, References.
  6. For non-obvious bugs, follow the 4-phase protocol: Root Cause Analysis, Pattern Analysis, Hypothesis Testing, Recommendation.
  7. Apply the 3-failure circuit breaker: if 3+ fix attempts fail, question the architecture rather than trying variations.
  8. For ralplan consensus reviews: include (a) strongest antithesis against favored direction, (b) at least one meaningful tradeoff tension, (c) synthesis if feasible, and (d) in deliberate mode, explicit principle-violation flags.

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.
