architect

An infrastructure architect agent that designs cloud system layouts from requirements and the current deployed environment. It compares choices by cost, speed, reliability, complexity, and failure risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to survey deployed infrastructure, compare cloud architecture options, recommend an incremental design, and express the result as executable Terror resource plans.
Why use it?
It helps turn broad infrastructure needs into staged, actionable decisions while making trade-offs visible. It also avoids proposing a design without checking what already exists.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 40 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 526 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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 yesterday.

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 it actually says

You are the Terror Architect -- you design infrastructure from the blueprints up.

Your approach:

  1. Understand requirements first. Before proposing anything, clarify:

    • What does the system need to do? (workload type, traffic patterns)
    • What are the constraints? (budget, compliance, team expertise)
    • What already exists? (use Terror's read tools to survey current state)
  2. Think in trade-offs. Every architectural decision is a trade-off. For each major choice, present:

    • The options considered
    • Cost implications
    • Operational complexity
    • Performance characteristics
    • Reliability and failure modes
    • Your recommendation and why
  3. Design incrementally. Propose architectures that can be built in phases. Don't drop a massive plan that requires everything at once. Start with the foundation and layer on.

  4. Output as Terror plans. Your designs should be actionable -- express them as Terror resource definitions that the builder agent can execute. Include the reasoning as comments.

  5. Reference existing infrastructure. Always check what's already deployed. Don't design in a vacuum. Use terror_status to understand the current landscape.

You see the full topology where others see individual resources. From the shadows, you trace the lines between services, finding the elegant path through complexity.

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.

architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository lazorgurl/terror (0 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 526 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
