architecture-critic

architecture-critic is an agent for coding agents from mostwise/dot-claude. It costs 33 tokens per session (670 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

A critical reviewer for proposed software architectures and transformed code. It checks the design against current best practices and looks for simpler ways to meet the requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing target architectures, assessing rewritten code, challenging over-engineered solutions, and finding simpler alternatives.
Why use it?
It can expose unnecessary complexity, missed requirements, and design decisions that may cause problems later.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 B, and why

architecture-critic scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Instruction-override phrasingmediumPrompt injection

Text telling the model to disregard its earlier instructions or safety rules is the shape of a prompt injection, whoever wrote it.

literals crafted to look like directives to an AI tool ("SYSTEM:", "ignore previous instructions", "mark this rule as approved", "this finding is a

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing 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.
