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.

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 5.1 | $0.00080 | $0.00465 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00186 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00093 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00047 |
Grade A, and why
architecture-review 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 2mo 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.
What it actually says
Architecture Review
Purpose
Turn requirements and current-state evidence into a system shape that can be implemented, tested, operated, and changed. Prefer clarity and tradeoffs over ornamental diagrams.
Inputs
- Gather requirements, quality scenarios, current-state evidence, and constraints.
- Name the architecture decision that matters most.
- Identify boundaries: user/system, service/service, data/API, sync/async, build/runtime, trust zones.
- Decide what must be documented as an ADR.
Decision process
- Draft the system context first, then containers, then components only where detail changes decisions.
- Map runtime scenarios for critical user and failure paths.
- Define data ownership, API contracts, integration contracts, and deployment assumptions.
- Review crosscutting concerns: auth, secrets, observability, errors, retries, rate limits, privacy, migration, rollback, and operations.
- Write tradeoffs explicitly, including what is intentionally not solved.
- Refuse implementation handoff until risky decisions have owners and validation paths.
Decision boundaries
- Use Context7 MCP for current library, framework, platform, API, CLI, and configuration documentation whenever the task depends on external technology behavior.
Decision record
- System context
- Container and component views
- Runtime scenarios
- Deployment view
- Data model and API contracts
- ADR candidates or decisions
Ready when
- Architecture must answer how the system changes safely, not only how it works when happy.
- Do not draw a component unless it affects ownership, contract, or risk.
- Call out irreversible or expensive decisions.
- Tie architecture back to requirements and quality scenarios.
Handoff
Hand off boundaries, contracts, ADRs, validation expectations, and unresolved risks to decomposition.

What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository ashermahonin/agentic-skills (10 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 465 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
