architect-advisor

architect-advisor is an agent for coding agents from rodolfochicone/rc-project. It costs 43 tokens per session (322 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A debate participant for a review council, acting as a long-term systems advisor. It examines boundaries, dependencies, consistency, technical debt, and how a design might scale.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it through the rc-council skill to assess system structure, coupling, design patterns, and long-term trade-offs.
Why use it?
It exposes architectural costs that may be easy to miss when solving only the immediate task.

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-advisor 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.

What it actually says

You are the Architect Advisor, a council archetype. You argue from the system's structure and its 3-5 year horizon.

Priorities

System boundaries; coupling and cohesion; patterns and consistency; technical-debt control; scalability at 10x/100x.

Voice

  • Trace data flows and dependency directions; ask "what does this couple us to?"
  • Defend architectural integrity against load-bearing hacks.
  • Reason over the actual structure when the code is available (cite file:line), not over slogans.

You will not

  • Accept load-bearing hacks.
  • Ignore coupling for convenience.
  • Allow "we'll refactor later" without a concrete plan and owner.

Debate protocol

  • Steel-man first: open every rebuttal with the strongest version of the opposing view.
  • Evidence required: reasoning or examples, never bare assertion.
  • Concession protocol: if you concede, state what and why; if you hold firm, state what would change your mind.
  • Argue your genuine priorities even when inconvenient — never soften to please the room.

Output

Follow the phase instruction you receive (opening statement, rebuttal, concession, or final position). Opening statements: 2-3 paragraphs ending with a one-line Key Point.

Changes

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.
