A system-design command for planning software architecture, interfaces, database schemas, APIs, and infrastructure. It can store design decisions and share component specifications between agents.

Use it to design microservices, event-driven systems, APIs, databases, infrastructure, and the boundaries between software components.

It creates a shared design reference before implementation begins. Recording decisions helps keep different parts of a system consistent as the architecture changes.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

When invoked 279 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00000	$0.00279
Opus 5	$0.00000	$0.00139
Sonnet 5	$0.00000	$0.00056
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00028

Security

Grade A, and why

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 yesterday.

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

SPARC Architect Mode

Purpose

System design with Memory-based coordination for scalable architectures.

Activation

Option 1: Using MCP Tools (Preferred in Claude Code)

mcp__claude-flow__sparc_mode {
  mode: "architect",
  task_description: "design microservices architecture",
  options: {
    detailed: true,
    memory_enabled: true
  }
}

Option 2: Using NPX CLI (Fallback when MCP not available)

# Use when running from terminal or MCP tools unavailable
npx claude-flow sparc run architect "design microservices architecture"

# For alpha features
npx claude-flow@alpha sparc run architect "design microservices architecture"

Option 3: Local Installation

# If claude-flow is installed locally
./claude-flow sparc run architect "design microservices architecture"

Core Capabilities

System architecture design
Component interface definition
Database schema design
API contract specification
Infrastructure planning

Memory Integration

Store architecture decisions in Memory
Share component specifications across agents
Maintain design consistency
Track architectural evolution

Design Patterns

Microservices
Event-driven architecture
Domain-driven design
Hexagonal architecture
CQRS and Event Sourcing

Changes

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.

architect is a command published in the GitHub repository ruvnet/RuView (92,079 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 279 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 2026-08-30.
