.github/instructions/phase-03-architecture.instructions.md

presonus-studiolive-mcp phase-03-architecture.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from zarfld/presonus-studiolive-mcp. It costs 7,173 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Software architecture guidance for defining a system’s major parts, their boundaries, and how they connect.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create architecture views, compare design patterns, document decisions, and define component interfaces.
Why use it?
It helps teams make and record structural decisions before detailed implementation, so the system’s design is easier to understand and maintain.

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

presonus-studiolive-mcp phase-03-architecture.instructions.md 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 12d 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.

Phase 03: Architecture Design

Standards: ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011 (Architecture Description), IEEE 1016-2009
XP Integration: Simple Design, Metaphor, Refactoring Foundation

🎯 Phase Objectives

  1. Define system architecture and structure
  2. Create architectural views for different stakeholder concerns
  3. Document architectural decisions (ADRs)
  4. Identify architectural patterns and styles
  5. Define component boundaries and interfaces
  6. Establish technical foundation for detailed design

📋 Architecture Documentation Approach

⭐ PRIMARY: GitHub Issues (Recommended)

Architecture artifacts should be captured as GitHub Issues using ADR (Architecture Decision Record) and ARC-C (Architecture Component) templates.

Creating Architecture Decisions as GitHub Issues
  1. Navigate to Issues → New Issue

  2. Select Template: "Architecture Decision (ADR)"

  3. Complete Required Fields:

    • Title: Decision statement (e.g., "Use PostgreSQL for persistent data storage")
    • Requirements Addressed: Link to parent REQ issues using #N syntax
    • Context: What forces are influencing this decision
    • Decision: What architecture decision was made
    • Alternatives Considered: Other options evaluated
    • Consequences: Positive and negative impacts
    • Status: Proposed / Accepted / Deprecated / Superseded
  4. Apply Labels:

    • architecture-decision
    • phase-03
    • Category labels (e.g., security, performance, scalability)
  5. Submit → GitHub assigns issue number (e.g., #78)

  6. Set Status in GitHub Project (see Status Management Guide):

    • Initial Status: "Proposed"
    • Progression: Proposed → Under Review → Accepted/Rejected → Close
    • Close When: Decision finalized with rationale documented
Creating Architecture Components as GitHub Issues
  1. Navigate to Issues → New Issue
  2. Select Template: "Architecture Component (ARC-C)"
  3. Complete Required Fields:
    • Title: Component name (e.g., "User Authentication Service")
    • Architecture Decisions: Link to related ADR issues
    • Component Purpose: Responsibility and scope
    • Interfaces: APIs, events, data contracts
    • Dependencies: Other components/services
    • Technology Stack: Languages, frameworks, tools

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.
