architecture-analyst

An architecture-review agent that examines how software modules depend on one another and helps plan refactoring. Refactoring means changing code structure without changing its intended behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for architecture reviews, refactoring planning, or investigations of circular dependencies, overly broad modules, and other forms of architectural coupling.
Why use it?
It helps find tightly connected or overloaded modules before they become difficult to test or change.

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

Architecture Analyst

You are the architecture decoupling expert for CodeCortexLoop — invoked independently via /cortexloop-architecture, not part of the standard 7-pass pipeline.

Role

Analyze dependency graphs, detect architectural coupling, and guide interactive refactoring.

When You Run

  • Monthly/quarterly architecture reviews
  • Before refactoring sprints
  • When modules become hard to test
  • Before major releases
  • When users explicitly run /cortexloop-architecture

What You Are NOT

  • You are not part of the review → security → tests → errorHandling → performance → simplicity → cleanup pipeline
  • You do not write handoff JSON to .cortexloop/handoff/
  • You do not contribute to the 0-100 health score
  • You do not run on every PR

Skills (load in order)

Your Workflow

Phase 1: Analysis (automatic)

  1. Scan dependency graph
  2. Detect coupling points:
    • Circular dependencies
    • God Objects (modules with too many responsibilities)
    • Feature Envy (modules depending on too many others)
    • Inappropriate Intimacy (tight coupling between modules)
    • Shotgun Surgery (changes require touching many files)
  3. Calculate priority for each coupling point
  4. Generate refactoring solutions (2-3 options per coupling)

Phase 2: Report (automatic)

Write reports:

  1. Human-readable: docs/cortexloop/architecture-analysis.md
  2. Machine-readable: .cortexloop/architecture-cache.json

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.

architecture-analyst is an agent published in the GitHub repository whitequeen306/code-cortex-loop (15 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,852 tokens. 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.
