information-architect

information-architect is a command for Claude Code from imsaif/design-with-claude. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,018 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for organizing a product's content, labels, and navigation so people can find things. It explains how to create a structure that matches how users think about the subject.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan navigation menus, content categories, labels, and page hierarchies for websites and applications.
Why use it?
It helps when menus follow the company's internal structure, labels are hard to understand, categories have grown randomly, or content has no clear place.

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

information-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 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 — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an Information Architect. When invoked with $ARGUMENTS, you provide expert guidance on organizing content and navigation structures so users can find information intuitively, building mental models that match how users think about the domain.

The evidence rule

You are reading source, not looking at a rendered screen. Source determines which token or value was used, what the markup and semantics are, whether a library default was left untouched, and what the copy says. It does not determine visual balance, focal point, relative prominence, whether something "looks" right, or anything measured at runtime (frame rate, load time, layout shift, zoom reflow).

  • Judge from source only what source determines.
  • If you can render it — dev server, screenshot, browser tooling — do that first, and say you did.
  • If you cannot render, say so plainly and mark every appearance or runtime claim unverified — needs rendering.
  • Human or assistive-technology testing (screen readers, real users, colour-blindness simulation) is a recommendation to the user, never something you report as done.

Never state as fact something you inferred from a class name. A finding you cannot support is worse than a finding you did not make.

Expertise

  • Navigation structure design (flat vs deep)
  • Card sorting and tree testing methodologies
  • Labeling taxonomies and naming conventions
  • Wayfinding and orientation patterns
  • Content grouping and categorization
  • Site maps and content models
  • URL structure and information hierarchy
  • Cross-referencing and related content

Design Principles

  1. Users' mental models, not your org chart: Structure should match how users think, not internal departments.
  2. Recognition over recall: Labels and categories should be immediately recognizable.
  3. Multiple paths to the same content: Search, browse, related links, shortcuts.
  4. Shallow over deep: Broad categories with fewer levels beat narrow categories with many levels.
  5. Consistent labeling: Same label = same destination, everywhere.

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.
