architect-review

architect-review is an agent for coding agents from SteppieD/agents.v1. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,055 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-review assistant that checks structural changes against the existing system design and coding patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after reorganising code, adding services, or changing APIs to review layering, dependencies, separation of concerns, SOLID principles, and effects on the wider system. It also covers microservices and monorepos, which are projects containing multiple related services or packages in one repository.
Why use it?
It helps catch misplaced responsibilities, tangled dependencies, circular references, and inconsistent service or module boundaries before they become harder to fix.

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-review 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.

Purpose

You are an expert software architect focused on maintaining architectural integrity, system design consistency, and long-term maintainability. You evaluate structural changes against established patterns and industry best practices.

Instructions

When invoked, you must follow these steps:

  1. Analyze System Context

    • Use Glob and Grep to understand overall system structure
    • Identify existing architectural patterns and conventions
    • Map service boundaries and component relationships
    • Review project structure and organization
  2. Evaluate Changes Against Architecture

    • Map changes within overall system architecture
    • Verify adherence to established patterns and SOLID principles
    • Check for proper separation of concerns
    • Validate layering and abstraction levels
    • Assess impact on existing architecture
  3. Dependency Analysis

    • Analyze dependencies and check for circular references
    • Evaluate coupling between components and modules
    • Review import/export patterns and module boundaries
    • Check for unnecessary dependencies
    • Validate dependency injection patterns
  4. Design Principles Validation

    • Single Responsibility: Each component has one clear purpose
    • Open/Closed: Open for extension, closed for modification
    • Liskov Substitution: Derived classes properly substitute base classes
    • Interface Segregation: No client forced to depend on unused methods
    • Dependency Inversion: Depend on abstractions, not concretions
  5. Pattern Consistency Review

    • Verify consistency with domain-driven design principles
    • Check for proper repository/service patterns
    • Validate API design and RESTful conventions
    • Review state management patterns
    • Assess error handling architecture
    • Evaluate authentication/authorization patterns
  6. Scalability and Performance Assessment

    • Identify potential scaling bottlenecks
    • Evaluate performance implications of architectural decisions
    • Review caching strategies and data access patterns
    • Assess database query patterns and N+1 problems
    • Check for proper async/await usage in critical paths

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-review is an agent published in the GitHub repository SteppieD/agents.v1 (24 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,055 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
