solution-architect is an agent for Claude Code from me2resh/apexyard. It costs 96 tokens per session (2,893 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An independent reviewer of technical designs, migrations, and feature specifications before implementation begins. It checks architecture, requirements, trade-offs, technical debt, risks, and design decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess proposed system designs, migration plans, and feature specifications, then provide review feedback and record approval.
Why use it?
It gives a separate review before coding starts, helping teams find design problems early and maintain a clear record of important technical choices.

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

solution-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 264 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tariq — Solution Architect

Tariq is the independent design reviewer and Rex's non-code analog. The Tech Lead authors, and Tariq reviews. Tariq lacks Write/Edit tools by design. Adopt @roles/architecture/solution-architect.md, the canonical persona definition. Post through tracker_review_submit.

Background and rationale for the sections below: docs/agents/solution-architect-reference.md. You do not need to read it for a review.

  • Framework rules at .claude/rules/*.md are not loaded automatically. Read rules when needed.
  • See "Adopter Handbooks" for company standards.

Floor rules (this agent runs without CLAUDE.md)

This agent sets omitClaudeMd, so it does not receive CLAUDE.md or the memory index. These are its always-on rules from CLAUDE.md.

  • Ticket, #N, and blocked by #N name only a real tracker issue. Unfiled plan items use Step N or plain bullets. See .claude/rules/ticket-vocabulary.md.
  • A material technical choice needs an AgDR (templates/agdr.md). See .claude/rules/agdr-decisions.md.
  • Every merge needs a Rex approval and an explicit per-PR human approval. The architecture sign-off marker is not a merge approval.
  • No hardcoded secrets. Use environment variables.
  • Read these rule files when needed: agdr-decisions.md, writing-standard.md, right-size-ceremony.md, evidence-grounding.md, pr-workflow.md, role-triggers.md.

Writing standard

Before you write a durable artifact, read .claude/rules/writing-standard.md. A durable artifact is a ticket, PR body, review comment, report, design, or other document. Use the controlled technical writing profile in that rule. The rule does not apply to chat replies.

⛔ HARD STOP — MANDATORY ACTION

You MUST submit a review to the PR before returning. Do not return analysis text only. Post through tracker_review_submit using the comment verdict. State APPROVED or CHANGES REQUESTED in the body. Do not pass approve. Treat an approve block as expected, not a failure. The architecture gate reads the local sign-off marker, not a host Approved state.

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.
