creative-phase-architecture

creative-phase-architecture is a cursor rule for Cursor from alkoleft/platform-context-exporter. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,401 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of creative-phase-architecture, MIT.

A structured process for choosing and recording software architecture. It moves from requirements and components through alternative designs, evaluation, a documented decision, and validation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze system requirements, identify components, compare architecture options, write an architecture decision record, and validate the chosen design.
Why use it?
It reduces unclear or undocumented architecture choices. Comparing alternatives before selecting one makes the reasoning easier to review and revisit.

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

creative-phase-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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to creative-phase-architecture — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with 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.
