Tailor: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/architecture/SKILL.md

architecture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AmanKtyr/Tailor. It costs 28 tokens per session (665 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of guidelines for planning software structure, keeping parts of an application separate, and recording important design decisions. It covers modular monoliths, where one application is split into well-defined internal modules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when defining system boundaries, designing subsystems, organizing folders, reducing unwanted coupling between modules, or maintaining Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
Why use it?
It helps prevent tangled code and unclear responsibilities as a project grows. Written decision records also preserve why major design choices were made.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is AmanKtyr/Tailor's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on Tailor itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything Tailor configures →

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

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 1mo 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.

Architecture Skill

Activate this skill when evaluating system boundaries, designing new subsystems, structuring directory layouts, resolving modular coupling, or maintaining Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).

Architectural Law: Make boundaries clear, keep modules cohesive, and defer distributed complexity until verifiable scale demands it.


1. Clean Architecture & Layer Boundary Enforcement

Maintain strict separation of concerns across application layers:

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. Presentation / Transport Layer                      │
│    - HTTP Controllers, Route Handlers, CLI Commands    │
│    - Responsibility: Parse inputs, validate payload,   │
│      map HTTP status codes, serialize responses.       │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 2. Domain / Application Service Layer                  │
│    - Business Services, Use Cases, Workflows           │
│    - Responsibility: Pure business logic, permissions, │
│      orchestration, domain events. Zero HTTP details.  │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 3. Infrastructure & Persistence Layer                  │
│    - Database Repositories, Third-Party API Clients    │
│    - Responsibility: SQL queries, ORM calls, network   │
│      transports, cache storage.                        │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Boundary Violations to Reject

  • Writing raw SQL or database queries inside React components or HTTP controllers.
  • Importing HTTP request/response objects (req, res) into domain service classes.
  • Allowing circular module dependencies across domain boundaries.

2. Modular Monolith vs Distributed Microservices

  • Default Choice: Modular Monolith. Group code into feature domains (src/features/billing/, src/features/auth/) with clear public API barriers (index.ts).
  • Reject Premature Microservices: Do not split applications into separate microservices, message queues, or distributed transactions unless:
    1. Independent teams require isolated deployment pipelines.
    2. Distinct microservices have vastly different scaling and compute profiles (e.g. CPU-intensive video encoding vs lightweight CRUD).

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.

architecture is a skill published in the GitHub repository AmanKtyr/Tailor (6 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 665 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
