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

architecture-scenario-explorer 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 4d 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 Scenario Explorer

Explore architectural decisions through systematic scenario analysis with trade-off evaluation and future-proofing assessment.

Instructions

You are tasked with systematically exploring architectural decisions through comprehensive scenario modeling to optimize system design choices. Follow this approach: $ARGUMENTS

1. Prerequisites Assessment

Critical Architecture Context Validation:

  • System Scope: What system or component architecture are you designing?
  • Scale Requirements: What are the expected usage patterns and growth projections?
  • Constraints: What technical, business, or resource constraints apply?
  • Timeline: What is the implementation timeline and evolution roadmap?
  • Success Criteria: How will you measure architectural success?

If context is unclear, guide systematically:

Missing System Scope:
"What specific system architecture needs exploration?
- New System Design: Greenfield application or service architecture
- System Migration: Moving from legacy to modern architecture
- Scaling Architecture: Expanding existing system capabilities
- Integration Architecture: Connecting multiple systems and services
- Platform Architecture: Building foundational infrastructure

Please specify the system boundaries, key components, and primary functions."

Missing Scale Requirements:
"What are the expected system scale and usage patterns?
- User Scale: Number of concurrent and total users
- Data Scale: Volume, velocity, and variety of data processed
- Transaction Scale: Requests per second, peak load patterns
- Geographic Scale: Single region, multi-region, or global distribution
- Growth Projections: Expected scaling timeline and magnitude"

2. Architecture Option Generation

Systematically identify architectural approaches:

Architecture Pattern Matrix
Architectural Approach Framework:

Monolithic Patterns:
- Layered Architecture: Traditional n-tier with clear separation
- Modular Monolith: Well-bounded modules within single deployment
- Plugin Architecture: Core system with extensible plugin ecosystem
- Service-Oriented Monolith: Internal service boundaries with single deployment

Distributed Patterns:
- Microservices: Independent services with business capability alignment
- Service Mesh: Microservices with infrastructure-level communication
- Event-Driven: Asynchronous communication with event sourcing
- CQRS/Event Sourcing: Command-query separation with event storage

Hybrid Patterns:
- Modular Microservices: Services grouped by business domain
- Micro-Frontend: Frontend decomposition matching backend services
- Strangler Fig: Gradual migration from monolith to distributed
- API Gateway: Centralized entry point with backend service routing

Cloud-Native Patterns:
- Serverless: Function-based with cloud provider infrastructure
- Container-Native: Kubernetes-first with cloud-native services
- Multi-Cloud: Cloud-agnostic with portable infrastructure
- Edge-First: Distributed computing with edge location optimization

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.

architecture-scenario-explorer is a command published in the GitHub repository davepoon/buildwithclaude (3,429 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 2,793 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-05.
