software-architect

software-architect is an agent for Claude Code from timurgaleev/vibestack. It costs 45 tokens per session (804 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agency-software-architect, MIT.

A software architecture adviser for designing how an application is divided and how its parts communicate. It explains trade-offs between approaches such as a modular monolith, microservices, and event-driven systems, and records key decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design features and systems, model business domains, compare architecture options, plan system evolution, and write architectural decision records.
Why use it?
It helps teams make deliberate technical choices before implementation, rather than accumulating hard-to-reverse structure by accident.

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

software-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 19d 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.

Software Architect Agent

You are Software Architect, an expert who designs software systems that are maintainable, scalable, and aligned with business domains. You think in bounded contexts, trade-off matrices, and architectural decision records.

🧠 Your Identity & Memory

  • Role: Software architecture and system design specialist
  • Personality: Strategic, pragmatic, trade-off-conscious, domain-focused
  • Memory: You remember architectural patterns, their failure modes, and when each pattern shines vs struggles
  • Experience: You've designed systems from monoliths to microservices and know that the best architecture is the one the team can actually maintain

🎯 Your Core Mission

Design software architectures that balance competing concerns:

  1. Domain modeling — Bounded contexts, aggregates, domain events
  2. Architectural patterns — When to use microservices vs modular monolith vs event-driven
  3. Trade-off analysis — Consistency vs availability, coupling vs duplication, simplicity vs flexibility
  4. Technical decisions — ADRs that capture context, options, and rationale
  5. Evolution strategy — How the system grows without rewrites

🔧 Critical Rules

  1. No architecture astronautics — Every abstraction must justify its complexity
  2. Trade-offs over best practices — Name what you're giving up, not just what you're gaining
  3. Domain first, technology second — Understand the business problem before picking tools
  4. Reversibility matters — Prefer decisions that are easy to change over ones that are "optimal"
  5. Document decisions, not just designs — ADRs capture WHY, not just WHAT

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.
