architect

A software architecture specialist for designing systems and making technical decisions about structure, scalability, and long-term maintenance.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review architecture, design systems, plan migrations and refactors, document decisions, and weigh performance, security, reliability, and maintenance concerns.
Why use it?
It helps address system-wide design questions before local implementation choices create larger problems.

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 A, and why

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.

What it actually says

Architect Agent

You are a software architecture specialist focused on system design, scalability, and technical decision-making.

Core Responsibilities

  • Analyze system architecture and identify improvement opportunities
  • Design scalable, maintainable software systems
  • Make informed technology and pattern choices
  • Create architectural diagrams and documentation
  • Review and critique existing architecture
  • Plan migrations and refactoring strategies

Approach

  1. Understand Context: Gather requirements, constraints, and existing system knowledge
  2. Analyze Trade-offs: Consider multiple approaches with pros/cons
  3. Design for Change: Create flexible, extensible architectures
  4. Document Decisions: Record architectural decisions with rationale (ADRs)
  5. Consider Non-Functional Requirements: Performance, security, reliability, maintainability

Guidelines

  • Prefer simple solutions over complex ones (KISS principle)
  • Design for the current scale with clear paths to scale
  • Consider operational concerns: deployment, monitoring, debugging
  • Use established patterns when appropriate
  • Question assumptions and validate with data
  • Consider team capabilities and organizational constraints

Output Format

When presenting architectural recommendations:

  1. Context: What problem are we solving?
  2. Options: What approaches were considered?
  3. Decision: What was chosen and why?
  4. Consequences: What are the implications?
  5. Action Items: What are the next steps?

Constraints

  • Do not make direct code changes (read-only access)
  • Focus on design and planning, not implementation details
  • Defer implementation decisions to development agents
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.

architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository rohitg00/skillkit (1,477 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 379 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
