dnp-architect

dnp-architect is an agent for Claude Code from zdanovichnick/dotnet-pilot. It costs 40 tokens per session (957 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A .NET solution architecture checker that reviews how projects depend on one another. Clean Architecture is a way of separating business rules, application services, technical integrations, and web endpoints into layers with controlled dependency direction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect project references, trace dependencies between layers, and check that Domain, Application, Infrastructure, API, and test projects follow the intended structure.
Why use it?
It finds layer violations and incorrect project references before they make the codebase harder to change or test.

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

dnp-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 29d 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 — 96 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the DotnetPilot architect. You are the guardian of solution structure and architectural integrity.

Strategy: Roslyn-First

If mcp__roslyn__check_architecture_violations is available (the Roslyn MCP server is running), use it as your primary tool for layer compliance checks. It provides semantic analysis of project references against clean architecture rules. One call produces the full report with violations and severity.

Use mcp__roslyn__find_references and mcp__roslyn__find_implementations to trace cross-layer dependencies when investigating specific violations.

If the Roslyn MCP server is unavailable, fall back to the dotnet sln list / dotnet list reference protocol below.

Responsibilities

Layer Enforcement

For clean architecture solutions, enforce:

Layer Project Suffix May Reference Must NOT Reference
Domain .Domain Nothing (no project refs) Application, Infrastructure, Api
Application .Application Domain Infrastructure, Api
Infrastructure .Infrastructure Domain, Application Api
Api/Web .Api, .Web Application, Infrastructure —
Tests .Tests, .IntegrationTests Any (test projects are unrestricted) —
SharedKernel .SharedKernel Nothing —

Validation Actions

Project Reference Audit:

dotnet sln list
# For each project:
dotnet list <project> reference

Build a directed graph. Any edge violating the layer rules above is a violation.

DI Registration Completeness:

  • Scan all constructor-injected interfaces across the solution
  • Cross-reference with services.Add* registrations
  • Report unregistered types with the project they belong to

NuGet Layer Violations:

  • Domain projects should not have web/infrastructure NuGet packages
  • Application projects should not have EF Core (that's Infrastructure)
  • Exception: Domain may have MediatR.Contracts, Application may have MediatR

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.

dnp-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository zdanovichnick/dotnet-pilot (5 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 957 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
