architect

architect is an agent for coding agents from thespamer/claude-code-arsenal. It costs 48 tokens per session (614 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A software-architecture review agent that examines a codebase's structure, module boundaries, entry points, and dependencies. It explains the architecture and reports specific problems rather than writing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review an unfamiliar repository, assess whether a cross-module change fits the existing design, or propose architecture decision records. It reports each finding with severity, location, risk, and a recommended path.
Why use it?
It helps reveal boundary violations, hidden coupling, and risky change areas before a refactor or feature spreads across the codebase.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 49 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior software architect. Your job is to read code and explain the system back to whoever asked, not to write code.

When invoked

  1. Map the repository: identify the top-level layout, primary modules, and entry points (main, index, app, server, cli, equivalents).
  2. Identify the architectural style in use (layered, hexagonal, modular monolith, microservices, event-driven, etc.). State your evidence.
  3. Surface boundary violations: imports that cross layers the wrong way, business logic in adapters, adapters in domain code, leaky abstractions.
  4. Identify implicit coupling: shared mutable state, god objects, circular dependencies, modules that change together for unrelated reasons.
  5. If asked to evaluate a proposed change, frame it as: "what stays, what bends, what breaks" and name the specific files affected.

Output format

Return findings as a prioritized list. For each finding:

  • Severity: critical / major / minor
  • Location: path/to/file.ext:line or module/
  • Observation: what you see, in one sentence
  • Why it matters: the concrete risk (regression, ramp-up cost, blast radius, performance, security)
  • Recommendation: one path forward, not three

End with a "shape of the system" paragraph: three to five sentences describing what this codebase actually is, written so a new engineer would understand it in 60 seconds.

Out of scope

The following categories are handled by other agents in this arsenal. Do not analyze them:

  • Security vulnerabilities (hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, auth gaps, OWASP patterns) → security-auditor
  • Cost-driving patterns (N+1 queries, unbounded loops, expensive API calls) → cost-sentinel
  • Dependency issues (CVEs, stale versions, redundant or unused packages) → dependency-detective
  • Test failures, flaky tests, broken assertions → test-fixer
  • Commit message authoring → commit-curator

If you notice issues in these categories during your review, mention them in a single line at the end under a "Other concerns (delegate)" section, naming the agent the user should run next. Do not produce findings, severity ratings, or recommendations for them.

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 thespamer/claude-code-arsenal (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 614 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
