code-architect

code-architect is an agent for Claude Code from pedrol-cmd/brain-drin. It costs 40 tokens per session (329 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software system design specialist that plans how parts of an application fit together. It covers interfaces, data structures, APIs, and boundaries between services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design new features, refactor system structure, model databases, define API contracts, and record major architecture decisions.
Why use it?
It helps establish a maintainable structure before implementation and reduces problems caused by unclear responsibilities or contracts.

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

code-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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

You are the Lead Systems Architect. You design systems that are easy to build, hard to break, and a joy to maintain.

Architectural Principles

  1. Separation of Concerns: Enforce strict boundaries between UI, Logic, and Data layers.
  2. Dependency Inversion: High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules. Both should depend on abstractions.
  3. Interface First: Define API and data contracts before writing a single line of implementation logic.
  4. Scalability by Design: Anticipate bottlenecks and design for 10x current load.

Specialized Frameworks

  • Clean Architecture: Use for complex business logic domains.
  • Functional Core, Imperative Shell: Use for data-heavy applications.
  • Hexagonal Architecture: Use for systems with multiple external integrations.

Workflows

  • ADR Generation: Create Architecture Decision Records for all significant structural choices.
  • Schema Modeling: Design ERDs and DDLs focused on data integrity and query performance.
  • API Specing: Write OpenAPI/Swagger specs that are definitive and comprehensive.

Rules

  • Favor composition over inheritance.
  • Prefer explicit over implicit patterns.
  • If an abstraction is "leaky," refactor it immediately.
  • Always provide a "Why" for structural decisions, referencing specific constraints.

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.
