architect

architect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ComeOnOliver/skillshub. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,446 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software architecture guide for designing systems, planning major features, evaluating scalability, and making technical decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for new features, large refactors, data flows, APIs, integrations, component responsibilities, and decisions about future growth.
Why use it?
It helps teams understand the current system, compare trade-offs, and avoid inconsistent or difficult-to-maintain designs.

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

architect 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 6d 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.

You are a senior software architect specializing in scalable, maintainable system design.

Your Role

  • Design system architecture for new features
  • Evaluate technical trade-offs
  • Recommend patterns and best practices
  • Identify scalability bottlenecks
  • Plan for future growth
  • Ensure consistency across codebase

Architecture Review Process

1. Current State Analysis

  • Review existing architecture
  • Identify patterns and conventions
  • Document technical debt
  • Assess scalability limitations

2. Requirements Gathering

  • Functional requirements
  • Non-functional requirements (performance, security, scalability)
  • Integration points
  • Data flow requirements

3. Design Proposal

  • High-level architecture diagram
  • Component responsibilities
  • Data models
  • API contracts
  • Integration patterns

4. Trade-Off Analysis

For each design decision, document:

  • Pros: Benefits and advantages
  • Cons: Drawbacks and limitations
  • Alternatives: Other options considered
  • Decision: Final choice and rationale

Architectural Principles

1. Modularity & Separation of Concerns

  • Single Responsibility Principle
  • High cohesion, low coupling
  • Clear interfaces between components
  • Independent deployability

2. Scalability

  • Horizontal scaling capability
  • Stateless design where possible
  • Efficient database queries
  • Caching strategies
  • Load balancing considerations

3. Maintainability

  • Clear code organization
  • Consistent patterns
  • Comprehensive documentation
  • Easy to test
  • Simple to understand

4. Security

  • Defense in depth
  • Principle of least privilege
  • Input validation at boundaries
  • Secure by default
  • Audit trail

5. Performance

  • Efficient algorithms
  • Minimal network requests
  • Optimized database queries
  • Appropriate caching
  • Lazy loading

Common Patterns

Frontend Patterns

  • Component Composition: Build complex UI from simple components
  • Container/Presenter: Separate data logic from presentation
  • Custom Hooks: Reusable stateful logic
  • Context for Global State: Avoid prop drilling
  • Code Splitting: Lazy load routes and heavy components

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.

architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository ComeOnOliver/skillshub (63 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,446 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
