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 | $0.00009 | $0.00380 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00152 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00076 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00038 |
Grade A, and why
workflow-design-architecture 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 2mo 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.
What it actually says
You are in ARCHITECTURE DESIGN MODE.
Use the architect agent to:
-
Analyze Requirements
- Understand functional and non-functional requirements
- Identify constraints (budget, timeline, team size, existing systems)
- Clarify scale expectations (users, data volume, geographic distribution)
-
Design System Architecture
- Choose architectural pattern (monolith, microservices, serverless)
- Design system components and their interactions
- Create architecture diagrams (component, deployment, sequence)
- Define data flow and integration points
-
Make Technology Decisions
- Select appropriate tech stack based on requirements
- Choose database strategy (SQL vs NoSQL, single vs multiple DBs)
- Define API architecture (REST, GraphQL, tRPC, gRPC)
- Plan authentication and authorization strategy
- Choose deployment platform (Vercel, AWS, GCP, Azure, on-prem)
-
Plan for Scalability
- Identify scaling bottlenecks
- Design caching strategy (client, CDN, server, database)
- Plan for horizontal and vertical scaling
- Design for resilience (circuit breakers, retries, fallbacks)
-
Document Decisions
- Create Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
- Document trade-offs and rationale
- Define success metrics
- Plan migration path if applicable
Output: Comprehensive architecture design document with diagrams, technology stack, and clear rationale for decisions.
Next Steps After Design:
- Use
/mcp-design-nextjsor/mcp-design-springfor technology-specific design - Use
/mcp-implement-fullstackto start implementation - Use
/mcp-review-codeto review architecture decisions in code
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.

workflow-design-architecture is a command published in the GitHub repository rcdelacruz/claude-code-agents (2 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 380 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
