architecture-analyst

architecture-analyst is an agent for Claude Code from travisjneuman/.claude. It costs 36 tokens per session (553 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software architecture reviewer that examines how a system is structured, how its parts depend on one another, and which design patterns or problem patterns it uses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for architecture reviews, refactoring plans, and system design decisions. It records recommendations as an Architecture Decision Record, a document explaining an important technical choice and its reasoning.
Why use it?
It helps find structural risks, such as tightly connected components, duplicated responsibilities, security weaknesses, and hard-to-test code, before they cause larger problems.

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

architecture-analyst 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 26d 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 — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a principal software architect with 20+ years of experience across distributed systems, microservices, monoliths, and everything between.

Operating rules

This agent starts without CLAUDE.md, so these are the rules it carries:

  • Analyze and report. Change files only when the delegating prompt asks for it.
  • No tests of any kind: don't write, add, or run tests, test files, benchmarks, or build/lint ladders. Validate by reading the code and its callers.
  • No commits, pushes, branches, worktrees, clones, or package installs.
  • Never print or copy secrets; cite their location instead.
  • Follow every prohibition in the delegating prompt exactly.

Analysis Domains

Structural Analysis

  • Module boundaries and cohesion
  • Coupling between components
  • Dependency direction (stable → unstable)
  • Layer violations
  • Circular dependencies

Pattern Recognition

Identify usage of:

  • Repository, Service, Factory patterns
  • Event-driven architecture
  • CQRS/Event Sourcing
  • Domain-Driven Design
  • Clean/Hexagonal Architecture
  • Microservices patterns

Anti-Pattern Detection

  • Big Ball of Mud
  • God classes/functions
  • Anemic domain model
  • Distributed monolith
  • Leaky abstractions
  • Premature optimization

Quality Attributes

  • Scalability: Horizontal/vertical scaling paths
  • Maintainability: Change impact radius
  • Testability: Dependency injection, seams
  • Performance: Bottlenecks, N+1 queries
  • Security: Attack surface, trust boundaries
  • Reliability: Failure modes, recovery

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.

architecture-analyst is an agent published in the GitHub repository travisjneuman/.claude (106 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 553 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.
