api-architect

api-architect is an agent for Claude Code from rohittcodes/claude-plugin-suite. It costs 23 tokens per session (685 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An API architecture specialist for designing and integrating REST and GraphQL interfaces. An API is a defined way for software systems to exchange data and request actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design API schemas and versions, document interfaces, set authentication and rate limits, configure gateways, and plan testing, monitoring, and third-party integrations.
Why use it?
It helps prevent incompatible interfaces, unclear contracts, weak security, and difficult-to-maintain integrations as systems grow.

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

api-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 7d 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.

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.
