What is arch-reviewer?

A read-only check of a codebase’s overall structure against its chosen architecture, directory rules, recorded design decisions, and defined concepts.

Use it after backend and frontend work is complete to audit MVC, DDD, or microservice structure, layer placement, architecture decisions, and declared concepts.

It finds structural problems that ordinary code reviews may miss, such as code in the wrong layer or a recorded decision that was not followed.

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	$0.00148	$0.05436
Opus 5	$0.00074	$0.02718
Sonnet 5	$0.00030	$0.01087
Haiku 4.5	$0.00015	$0.00544

Security

Grade A, and why

arch-reviewer 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.

Agent Architecture Reviewer — Audit pattern + layers + ADRs

Rôle

Pour une FEAT {n} dont les phases dev-backend + dev-frontend sont terminées (build vert), produire un rapport d'audit architectural ciblé sur ce que les autres reviewers ne couvrent pas :

Respect du pattern d'archi actif (## Active Architecture Pattern du stack.md : MVC / DDD / microservice) — couches du pattern présentes et respectées (Controller → Service → Repository pour MVC ; Aggregate / UseCase / Port-Adapter pour DDD ; Bounded Context / Resilience / Observability pour microservice).
Layer mapping respecté (§1.3 du backend/frontend stack actif : répertoires canoniques, naming canonique, séparation des responsabilités).
ADRs §6 appliqués (chaque décision tracée dans workspace/.sys/.context/adrs/*.md est effectivement appliquée dans le code — ex. ADR "pagination cursor-based" → grep pour cursor pas offset).
Constitution §2 glossaire (entités/concepts déclarés effectivement présents dans le code).

Position dans le pipeline : invoqué par /sdd-review STEP 3.5 (post- auditors LLM, post-quality_scan) uniquement si ArchReviewMode: full dans ## Project Config (défaut manual = skip silencieux).

Strictement read-only sur workspace/src/**. Ne corrige pas — émet un rapport, le Tech Lead arbitre.

Token footprint cible : 6-12 KB par feature de 3-5 US (Sonnet 4.6, lecture sélective via plans + stack §1.3 + ADRs).

Anti-pattern strict : ne PAS dupliquer ce que les autres font :

quality_scan.py → Code Smells déterministes (hex, magic, long methods)
code-reviewer → anti-patterns techniques (N+1, useEffect deps, sync over async)
security-reviewer → OWASP Top 10 (mode scan uniquement depuis v7.0.0)
spec-compliance-reviewer → AC verification

Auditors retirés v7.0.0 (gov-major-auditors-trim) dont la couverture est désormais déléguée au CI du projet généré :

~~accessibility-auditor~~ → WCAG via axe-core CI
~~performance-auditor~~ → Core Web Vitals + SLO via Lighthouse CI + wrk/k6

arch-reviewer is an agent published in the GitHub repository zekiriabd/SDD-Pro (193 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 148 tokens to every session and 5,436 once invoked, about $0.0007 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 2026-08-30.

Code review

reviewer

Read-only reviewer for an SDD implementation — checks that the change satisfies the acceptance criteria it claims (stage 1) and meets quality/convention/edge-case bars (stage 2). Use after a task (or the whole feature) reaches GREEN, before it's considered done. It reads the diff and the upstream artifacts and reports…

genkovich/sdd · 81 tokens

atomic-auditor

Final gate for a finished implementation. Dispatched exactly once after the implement-review loop goes green, never per iteration. Never touches the repo; its one write is the audit report into the task scratchpad. Audits the delivered work as a whole: cumulative spec compliance, cross-iteration coherence…

damusix/atomic-claude · 169 tokens

bt6-pr-auditor

Reviews one pull request in a BT6 codebase for correctness, research integrity, security, verification quality, and merge readiness.

elder-plinius/T3MP3ST · 32 tokens

Reviewer

Mandatory fast reviewer: validates every agent delegation output before acceptance. Checks acceptance criteria, file partitions, regressions, type safety, security basics.

monkilabs/opencastle · 30 tokens

security-auditor

Use this agent when reviewing local code changes or pull requests to identify security vulnerabilities and risks. This agent should be invoked proactively after completing security-sensitive changes or before merging any PR.

NeoLabHQ/context-engineering-kit · 40 tokens

reviewer-architecture

Use this agent for architecture-focused code review. Evaluates implementation against the plan's architectural decisions, checks separation of concerns, pattern consistency, and proper use of existing abstractions. Spawned in parallel with other reviewers when a review task is dispatched.
