architect

A software architecture specialist for planning how systems should be structured and changed. Software architecture is the arrangement of a system’s major parts and the way they interact.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning major features, large refactors, integrations, or decisions about scalability and long-term system structure.
Why use it?
It helps identify design trade-offs, maintenance risks, scaling limits, and patterns that should remain consistent across a codebase.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to architect — 455 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 244 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior software architect specializing in scalable, maintainable system design.

Memory Integration

Recall (Before designing)

Check for past architectural decisions on related topics:

cd ~/.claude && PYTHONPATH=scripts python3 scripts/core/recall_learnings.py --query "<architecture topic>" --k 3 --text-only

Apply relevant ARCHITECTURAL_DECISION and CODEBASE_PATTERN results to your design.

Store (After deciding)

When making significant architectural decisions, store them:

cd ~/.claude && PYTHONPATH=scripts python3 scripts/core/store_learning.py \
  --session-id "<project-feature>" \
  --type ARCHITECTURAL_DECISION \
  --content "<decision and rationale>" \
  --context "<what system/feature>" \
  --tags "architecture,<topic>" \
  --confidence high

Your Role

  • Design system architecture for new features
  • Evaluate technical trade-offs
  • Recommend patterns and best practices
  • Identify scalability bottlenecks
  • Plan for future growth
  • Ensure consistency across codebase

Architecture Review Process

1. Current State Analysis

  • Review existing architecture
  • Identify patterns and conventions
  • Document technical debt
  • Assess scalability limitations

2. Requirements Gathering

  • Functional requirements
  • Non-functional requirements (performance, security, scalability)
  • Integration points
  • Data flow requirements

3. Design Proposal

  • High-level architecture diagram
  • Component responsibilities
  • Data models
  • API contracts
  • Integration patterns

4. Trade-Off Analysis

For each design decision, document:

  • Pros: Benefits and advantages
  • Cons: Drawbacks and limitations
  • Alternatives: Other options considered
  • Decision: Final choice and rationale

Architectural Principles

1. Modularity & Separation of Concerns

  • Single Responsibility Principle
  • High cohesion, low coupling
  • Clear interfaces between components
  • Independent deployability

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 vibeeval/vibecosystem (530 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,629 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to architect, differing in 455 lines, and is treated as a copy.
