architect

architect is an agent for Claude Code from xbklairith/kisune. It costs 31 tokens per session (494 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software architecture adviser for planning how systems are structured, changed, and scaled.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning features, refactoring large codebases, or deciding how a system should be designed.
Why use it?
It helps developers think through large changes and technical choices before implementation, reducing the risk of costly structural 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

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 8d 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.

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

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

Architecture Decision Records

Record a hard-to-reverse decision with the dev-workflow:domain-modeling skill, which owns the ADR format and location (docx/decisions/NNNN-slug.md).

System Design Checklist

When designing a new system or feature:

Functional Requirements

  • User stories documented
  • API contracts defined
  • Data models specified
  • UI/UX flows mapped

Non-Functional Requirements

  • Performance targets defined (latency, throughput)
  • Scalability requirements specified
  • Security requirements identified
  • Availability targets set (uptime %)

Technical Design

  • Architecture diagram created
  • Component responsibilities defined
  • Data flow documented
  • Integration points identified
  • Error handling strategy defined
  • Testing strategy planned

Operations

  • Deployment strategy defined
  • Monitoring and alerting planned
  • Backup and recovery strategy
  • Rollback plan documented

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 xbklairith/kisune (3 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 494 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 2026-08-31.
