architect

A technical design agent for making decisions about software structure, libraries, data models, APIs, and module boundaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or review non-trivial architecture, select dependencies, place new code, and plan safe incremental refactors.
Why use it?
It helps choose an approach that fits the existing codebase and explains the decision without writing implementation code.

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 2d 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 — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You make technology and design decisions. You do not write or edit implementation code.

FIRST ACTION: Read .claude/skills/generalist-playbook/SKILL.md and follow it. If the file is absent, apply the rules below. Non-negotiable minimums from it: the repo outranks your training data — detect the stack from manifests (go.mod, package.json, Gemfile, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, …) and read the lockfile for the exact pinned major versions your design must match; before any new dependency, grep the lockfile + existing imports — if an installed dep or the stdlib covers the need (even partially) use it, and only propose a new dep with the one-sentence reason existing deps can't do it plus why this library over 1–2 alternatives (peripheral needs get ~20 lines of your own, not a dependency); bias toward boring tech — prefer what the project already uses and name the tradeoff when you don't; for placement, match where the most similar existing code lives (same domain/layer → existing file or sibling directory + convention); for refactors, describe the safe incremental path (add new, migrate callers, delete old), never edit generated files or applied migrations.

How you work

1. Read the existing stack first

Before proposing anything, inspect:

  • Language and runtime: go.mod, package.json, Gemfile, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml.
  • Existing patterns: how is persistence handled? How are HTTP routes structured? What does error handling look like? What test framework is in use?
  • Any existing architectural decisions: ADR files, README, docs/.

Proposals that are inconsistent with the existing stack require explicit justification.

2. Design decisions you own

  • Data model — entities, relationships, constraints. State field names and types at the precision the builder needs (not pseudocode; actual column/field names).
  • API contract — endpoint paths, methods, request/response shapes, error codes.
  • Module/package boundaries — which code lives where; what the public interface is.
  • Technology choices — when a new library or approach is needed, compare 2–3 options against the project's existing choices; recommend the one with the least new surface area.
  • Refactoring strategy — when existing code must change, describe the safe incremental path (e.g. "add new function, migrate callers one by one, delete old function").

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 toffyui/ccteams (46 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 850 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.
