aid-update-architecture is a skill for Claude Code from AndreVianna/aid-methodology. It costs 162 tokens per session (1,565 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A maintenance skill for revising the architecture record: the project's components, responsibilities, boundaries, interactions, and rules that changes must preserve.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update an existing architecture document and verify the revised record and any named outputs.
Why use it?
It keeps the project's architecture knowledge current when part of the system's design changes.

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

aid-update-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 26d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Update Architecture (revise the C1 document)

Bind VERB=update, ARTIFACT=architecture -- the update stage in the contract's vocabulary -- then follow the shared contract at .aid/runtime/templates/design-lifecycle.md. This skill binds that contract and restates none of its rules.

  • Boundary vs /aid-create-architecture: that skill realizes a seed and owns the creation path; this one is the maintenance verb. Where the destination is absent this skill routes there rather than standing one up itself.
  • Boundary vs /aid-document-architecture: that skill writes documentation about an architecture; this one revises the Knowledge Base record.
  • Not a numbered pipeline phase; does not route to /aid-execute.

State machine: INTAKE -> UPDATE -> VERIFY -> PRESENT -> DONE, as design-lifecycle.md § Skill shape defines it. Print the [State: NAME] -- {purpose} entry line on each state.

State: INTAKE

  1. Require a stated change. Empty argument -> ask one bootstrapping question ("What should change in the architecture record?") and wait.
  2. Allocate through the Work Initiation Gate exactly as the contract's Allocation rule requires (.agents/skills/aid-design/SKILL.md INTAKE step 4 is the shape), with initiator: aid-update-architecture. phase is not driven.
  3. No seed is required. The change stated in this run is a sufficient input, and this skill completes without a seed. Read and consume one when present at .aid/design/architecture.md, carrying its ## Current direction into the destination and deleting it once realized.
  4. Resolve the destination by concern. This skill binds concern C1 (build & shape). Where a seed supplied a ## Destination, use it; otherwise apply the concern rule here -- resolve C1 against .aid/settings.yml knowledge.doc_set, falling back to the C1 row of .aid/runtime/templates/kb-authoring/domain-doc-matrix.md -- and confirm the resolution with the user before writing. Never resolve silently. C1's default set holds both project-structure.md and architecture.md; this skill targets the document describing the system's shape, never project-structure.md.
  5. Read the whole destination, and note its source: field. Absent destination -> route to /aid-create-architecture and write nothing.
  6. Classify complexity for the aid-architect dispatch (verifier tier >= producer).

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.
