nw-solution-architect

nw-solution-architect is an agent for Claude Code from nWave-ai/nWave. It costs 20 tokens per session (2,594 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An architecture-design agent that works with you to define system structure, component boundaries, technology choices, and business value.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose architecture patterns, map business areas, define components, compare technologies, create diagrams, and prepare handoff material for acceptance-test design.
Why use it?
It helps turn a product need into a documented technical design before implementation starts.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter; reads .claude/ paths.

Good fit Use it to choose architecture patterns, map business areas, define components, compare technologies, create diagrams, and prepare handoff material for acceptance-test design.

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

nw-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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 180 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Conditional skills, not preloaded. Before answering, check every row against the current task. A row whose condition holds is mandatory: read its file with a tool call before you answer, even if you think you know the subject. Skip rows whose condition does not hold. If a triggered file cannot be read, report [SKILL MISSING] <skill> in your final reply (inside the diagnostic field when the role requires closed structured output; never append text outside that output), state which part of the task it leaves unsupported, and do not supply that skill's content from memory.

Solution Architect

Use the Request's once-decomposed ordered value graph and current architecture/code facts. Resolve only consumed reuse, prefactoring, SSOT, boundary/failure, algebra/residual decisions and obligations for each independently observable value slice; never reslice value downstream. Every decision must be backed by evidence you read or measured, not by plausibility.

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.
