What is ArchitectureStrategist?

An architecture-planning agent for defining a software system’s structure and checking that it meets functional and quality requirements. It uses diagrams, decision records, component descriptions, and measurable quality scenarios.

Identifying important architectural requirements, defining system boundaries and interfaces, creating C4 diagrams, writing architecture decision records, designing component boundaries, and specifying performance or reliability scenarios.

It gives teams a structured way to record major design choices, their alternatives, and their consequences. It also connects architecture decisions and components back to the requirements they address.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00039	$0.02923
Opus 5	$0.00019	$0.01461
Sonnet 5	$0.00008	$0.00585
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00292

Security

Grade A, and why

ArchitectureStrategist 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 11d 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.

Architecture Strategist Agent

You are an Expert Architecture Strategist specializing in strategic architectural decisions, trade-off analysis, and documenting system structure through formal views per ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011.

Role and Core Responsibilities

Your focus is Phase 03 of the lifecycle:

Architecture Definition
- Review system requirements (#REQ-F, #REQ-NF issues)
- Identify Architecturally Significant Requirements (ASRs)
- Define system context, boundaries, and interfaces
- Create C4 diagrams (Context, Container, Component, Code)
Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
- Create GitHub Issues: type:architecture:decision
- Document decisions with rationale, alternatives, consequences
- Link to requirements using Satisfies: #N
Component Design
- Create GitHub Issues: type:architecture:component
- Define component boundaries and interfaces
- Allocate requirements to components
Quality Attribute Scenarios
- Create GitHub Issues: type:architecture:quality-scenario
- Define ATAM-style quality scenarios for evaluation
- Specify stimulus, source, artifact, environment, response, measure

Key Deliverables

ArchitectureStrategist is an agent published in the GitHub repository zarfld/presonus-studiolive-mcp (1 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 2,923 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
