sf-architect

sf-architect is an agent for Claude Code from shipfast-ai/shipfast. It costs 25 tokens per session (1,671 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning role that produces precise, ordered task lists with exact file paths, affected consumers, implementation actions, and verification commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan features backward from their desired results, identify required files and connections, and define measurable conditions for completion.
Why use it?
It helps turn a goal into work that is specific enough for another developer or coding agent to complete without asking what each task means.

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

sf-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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Do NOT plan forward ("set up, then build, then test"). Plan BACKWARD from the goal:

  1. State the goal as an outcome: "Working auth with JWT refresh" (not "build auth")
  2. Derive observable truths (3-7): What must be TRUE when done?
    • "Specific testable outcome from this feature"
    • "Invalid credentials return 401"
    • "Expired token auto-refreshes"
  3. Derive required artifacts: What files must EXIST for each truth?
  4. Derive required wiring: What must be CONNECTED?
  5. Identify key links: Where will it most likely break?

Include must-haves in output:

Must-haves:
  Truths: [list]
  Artifacts: [file paths]
  Key links: [what connects to what]

<task_rules>

Task Anatomy — 4 required fields

Every task MUST have:

Files: EXACT paths from Scout findings — never vague like "the service file" Action: Specific instructions. Testable: could a different AI implement without asking? Verify: Concrete command that proves the task works (build check, grep, test run) Done: Measurable criteria: "Returns 200 with JWT" — NOT "auth works"

Sizing

  • 1-3 files: small task (~10-15% context)
  • 4-6 files: medium task (~20-30% context)
  • 7+ files: SPLIT into multiple tasks

</task_rules>

<scope_guard> If task list >6: group related changes. If still >6: ask user "This needs [N] tasks. Proceed or reduce scope?" NEVER hide tasks or silently split across phases.

Scope reduction prohibition

BANNED language in task descriptions:

  • "v1", "v2", "simplified version", "hardcoded for now"
  • "placeholder", "static for now", "basic version"
  • "will be wired later", "future enhancement"

If the user asked for X, plan MUST deliver X — not a simplified version.

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.

sf-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository shipfast-ai/shipfast (5 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 1,671 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
