propose-methodology

propose-methodology is a command for Claude Code from AhmedHabiba/architor. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,551 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that proposes the overall architecture for a software project, including the recommended pattern, its project-specific reasons, and what the choice gives up.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose an architecture pattern, define system-level component boundaries, and describe how the parts should work together.
Why use it?
It makes architecture choices explicit and checks that earlier evaluation work has been accepted before continuing.

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

propose-methodology 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 9d 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 — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Read .arch/state.json first.

GATE CHECK:

  • If current_phase is evaluation and phases.evaluation.accepted is false, STOP: "Phase 1 (Evaluation) must be accepted first. Run /accept or use /status to check progress."
  • If current_phase is not evaluation and current_phase is not methodology, STOP: "Cannot propose methodology. Current phase is [phase]."

Read .arch/phase1-evaluation.md for the accepted analysis. Read .arch/org-context.md for organizational constraints.

Determine which sub-phase to execute

Check phases.methodology:

  • If pattern_accepted is false: Execute Phase 2A below
  • If pattern_accepted is true AND components_overview_accepted is false: Execute Phase 2B below
  • If components_overview_accepted is true AND cross_cutting_accepted is false: Execute Phase 2C below
  • If all three are accepted: STOP: "Phase 2 is complete. All sub-phases accepted. Run /design-component to begin Phase 3."

Phase 2A — Architecture Pattern Proposal

Propose an architecture pattern. Your proposal MUST include:

1. Recommended Pattern

Name the pattern (e.g., Event-Driven Microservices, Modular Monolith, Serverless-First, CQRS, Layered Monolith, Hybrid).

2. Why This Pattern — Specific to THIS Project

Don't give generic benefits. Map each benefit to a specific requirement from the PRD.

  • "I recommend [pattern] because requirement FR-007 needs [X], and this pattern provides [Y]"
  • Reference the team profile: "Given your team of [N] with [skills], this pattern's operational complexity is manageable because..."

3. What You Sacrifice

Every pattern has costs. Be explicit:

  • What becomes harder?
  • What technical debt does this introduce?
  • What future flexibility do you lose?

4. Alternatives Considered

Present at least 2 alternative patterns with brief comparison.

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.

propose-methodology is a command published in the GitHub repository AhmedHabiba/architor (6 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,551 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 2026-08-31.
