architecture-governance

architecture-governance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from beyondnetcode/evolith_arch32. It costs 76 tokens per session (811 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for running Evolith architecture validation and reporting both the verdict and how much of the rule set was evaluated.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when checking a repository's architecture, governance rules, ADRs, or SDLC phase gates with Evolith.
Why use it?
They make clear that skipped or errored rules are unknown rather than passing, which avoids overstating compliance.

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-governance 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 3d 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Architecture governance with Evolith

Validate a repository against an executable rule corpus, and report the verdict together with its coverage.

The one thing that matters

evolith validate returns four counts: checked, skipped, errored, total.

Never report a run as passing without stating skipped and errored. Those rules were not evaluated. Their result is UNKNOWN, not passed. A run with 133 checked and 26 skipped is not "133 rules passed" -- it is "133 evaluated, 26 unknown", and a blocking rule among the unknown is a failure.

This is the whole reason the tool exists. Every other linter collapses "passed" and "never ran" into the same green, so their coverage and their compliance look identical.

How to run it

The repository must be an Evolith satellite: it needs an evolith.yaml. If there is none, say so rather than initializing one uninvited -- evolith init writes to the user's repo.

evolith validate --engine opa --format json

If the CLI is not installed, use npx -y @beyondnet/evolith-cli validate --engine opa --format json.

Prefer --format json: it prints exactly one envelope on stdout and never prompts.

Reading the exit code

It is a taxonomy, not a boolean. Read it before reading the report.

Code Meaning What to tell the user
0 passed Report the verdict, and still state the skipped count
1 the tool failed No verdict exists. Do not report compliance either way
2 the gate blocked A real verdict, and it says no
3 invalid invocation Nothing was evaluated. Fix the command

1 and 3 are not weaker forms of 2. If you report them as "some issues found", you have told the user their repository was examined when it was not.

Reading the report

From the JSON envelope's data:

  • status -- passed, warning or failed
  • rulesChecked / rulesSkipped / rulesErrored / rulesTotal
  • skippedRuleIds -- name them when the user asks what was not covered
  • issues[] -- each with blocking, ruleId, severity, file
  • selection -- which rulesets ran. source: core-default means the whole corpus; a caller selection means a narrower claim, and you must say so

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.
