compare-stack

compare-stack is a command for Claude Code from navraj007in/architecture-cowork-plugin. It costs 7 tokens per session (1,095 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for comparing two to four technology choices for a specific software decision. It produces a side-by-side comparison with scores and a recommendation, using existing project architecture details when available.

In plain words
What is it for?
Comparing options such as databases, web frameworks, or hosting platforms for a defined application. It helps produce a comparison matrix and select a recommended option.
Why use it?
It turns a broad technology choice into a structured decision based on the stated use case. It can reuse the project's saved architecture information instead of requiring all context to be gathered again.

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

compare-stack 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/architect:compare-stack

Trigger

/architect:compare-stack [e.g., "MongoDB vs PostgreSQL for e-commerce" or "Next.js vs Remix vs Astro"]

Purpose

Compare technology options for a specific decision. Produces a structured comparison matrix with scores and a clear recommendation. Helps founders and developers make informed technology choices.

Workflow

Step 1: Understand the Comparison

First, check architecture-output/_state.json. If it exists, read it in full — it provides instant access to project, tech_stack, components, design, entities, and personas without reading larger files. Use its values directly where available; fall back to SDL (check solution.sdl.yaml first; if absent, read sdl/README.md then the relevant module files) only for detail not in _state.json.

If the user provides a clear comparison (e.g., "MongoDB vs PostgreSQL for e-commerce"), use it directly.

If unclear, ask:

"What are you comparing, and what's the use case? For example: 'MongoDB vs PostgreSQL for a SaaS with complex queries' or 'Vercel vs Railway for a Node.js API'."

Identify:

  • The options being compared (2-4 technologies)
  • The use case or context
  • Any constraints (budget, team expertise, scale requirements)

Step 2: Define Comparison Criteria

Choose 6-8 relevant criteria based on the technology category:

For databases:

  • Query flexibility, scalability, ecosystem/tooling, pricing, learning curve, hosting options, data model fit, community/support

For frameworks:

  • Performance, developer experience, ecosystem/plugins, learning curve, deployment options, community size, documentation quality, TypeScript support

For hosting/infrastructure:

  • Pricing, scaling, deployment simplicity, monitoring, CI/CD integration, region availability, support quality

For auth services:

  • Pricing, supported providers, developer experience, customization, compliance features, migration difficulty

For LLM providers:

  • Model quality, pricing, context window, tool use, speed, ecosystem, privacy/compliance

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.

nyann:doctor

Run nyann's read-only hygiene + documentation audit on the current repo. Emits the same drift sections retrofit uses, but never offers remediation or writes to the filesystem. Use this on session start, in CI, or any time you want to sanity-check a repo without risking mutations.

thettwe/nyann · 61 tokens

nyann:retrofit

Audit an existing repo against a profile and fix what's drifted. Unlike doctor (read-only), retrofit detects missing hooks, misconfigured gitignore, documentation gaps, and non-compliant history, then offers to remediate via bootstrap. Idempotent — safe to re-run.

nyann:ship

Open a GitHub pull request AND merge it in one step. Default uses GitHub's native auto-merge (returns immediately with outcome:"queued"); --client-side polls for green CI in the foreground then runs gh pr merge. Requires gh installed + authed.

nyann:apply

Apply an Infrastructure-as-Code change — the highest-stakes mutator in nyann; it can change real cloud infrastructure. Re-runs the plan, shows it, confirms, then applies. Unmistakably opt-in: apply is never the default and destructive applies require a second explicit confirm. For IaC apply intent only (not "apply a…

nyann:cleanup-branches

Prune local branches whose work is already merged into the base. Lists candidates first, then applies on --yes. Mirrors the safe-delete semantics of git branch -d (lowercase d): nothing unmerged is touched.
