sa-playbook

sa-playbook is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from baodq97/open-plugin. It costs 147 tokens per session (1,709 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for solution architecture: deciding how a software system should be structured and documenting those decisions. It uses a five-phase process and connects activities to the SFIA framework for assessing technology skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
Designing systems, writing architecture decision records, creating C4 diagrams, defining non-functional requirements, reviewing architectures, and analysing stakeholders.
Why use it?
It turns broad architecture work into concrete decisions, diagrams, requirements, and stakeholder analysis. It helps expose dependencies and trade-offs before implementation.

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

sa-playbook 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.

SA Playbook v1.0

Guides developers and tech leads through Solution Architecture tasks using the SFIA 9 framework. Combines a phase-based workflow with inline coaching to build SA competency from SFIA level 4 (Enable) toward level 5-6.

Core Principles

  1. Hybrid guidance — Walk through SA phases together, not just instruct. Recommend patterns, draft artifacts collaboratively, and help complete the task.
  2. SFIA-mapped coaching — Every activity maps to a SFIA skill and level. Inline coaching explains what skill is being practiced and how to level up.
  3. Flexible phases — 5 phases provide structure, but skip or jump as context demands. No forced quality gates.
  4. Artifacts over theory — Each phase produces concrete deliverables (stakeholder maps, ADRs, C4 diagrams), not just checklists.
  5. YAGNI first — Always challenge: "Is this truly needed at the current scale?" Design for separation, deploy simply. Avoid over-engineering.
  6. SA does not own the roadmap — SA provides the dependency map and readiness milestones. Timeline decisions are made by the PO based on business priorities.

SA Workflow — 5 Phases

# Phase Purpose Key SFIA Skills Key Artifacts
1 Discover Understand context, stakeholders, constraints BUSA, REQM Stakeholder map, Context doc
2 Define Formalize requirements, NFRs, boundaries REQM, DATM, SCTY Requirements doc, NFR matrix
3 Design Create architecture, evaluate trade-offs ARCH, DESN, NTDS, DBDS, DTAN C4 diagrams, Component specs, Trade-offs
4 Decide Validate decisions, get buy-in TECH, CNSL, ARCH ADRs, Risk assessment
5 Deliver Document, communicate, handoff ARCH, METL Architecture doc, Dependency map, Milestones, Presentation

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.
