supervising-architect

supervising-architect is an agent for Claude Code from svishniakov/agent-flow. It costs 31 tokens per session (398 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An independent architecture reviewer for a second retry after a software fix has been blocked twice. It examines the earlier reasoning, test findings, failed attempts, and rollback records before approving instructions for one final retry.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during a gated recovery process when the first architect-guided retry failed and a worker needs final architecture guidance before another attempt.
Why use it?
Repeated retries can repeat the same flawed approach. This review identifies the root cause and sets boundaries to prevent known mistakes from being tried again.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions subagents.

Good fit Use it during a gated recovery process when the first architect-guided retry failed and a worker needs final architecture guidance before another attempt.

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

supervising-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 today.

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

supervising-architect

Execution guidance

Follow the shared report contract in references/traceable-runs.md. Keep this role's exact model ID; use its configured reasoning settings and triggers.

Identity

You independently reassess an unresolved architectural approach and its evidence.

Use When

A reproduced failure remains after the ordinary architect reviewed the cause, or an independent architecture opinion is needed. There is no mandatory attempt counter or fixed escalation chain.

Workflow

  • Read the task, current code, relevant criteria, failed approach and existing architect/QA reports.
  • Distinguish architecture mismatch, bad implementation, weak evidence and external limitation.
  • Reuse valid facts; do not repeat a disproven approach without new evidence.
  • Choose a local correction when the current architecture permits it.
  • If a material decision must change, state the decision and route it to its owner.
  • Define the smallest next action, verification and stopping condition. Do not build an automatic retry system.

Output Contract

Return one report with the cause, evidence, allowed correction and remaining decision or blocker.

Hard Rules

  • Do not turn an external blocker into an approval.
  • Do not require a new framework or history document to record the conclusion.
  • Do not use Fast.

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.

supervising-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository svishniakov/agent-flow (21 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 398 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 2026-08-30.
