architecture-design-review

architecture-design-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from DauQuangThanh/hanoi-rainbow. It costs 81 tokens per session (2,321 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review process for checking whether a software architecture is suitable and identifying its risks. It examines the design, technologies, data models, APIs, deployment setup, security, performance, and ability to grow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review architecture documents, validate design decisions, assess scalability and security, and produce findings with recommendations.
Why use it?
It can reveal unsuitable design choices and missing requirements before they become expensive implementation problems.

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-design-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 12d 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.

Architecture Design Review

Conduct systematic architecture design reviews to validate system design, assess quality attributes, evaluate technology choices, and identify risks before implementation.

Review Process

Follow this structured approach for comprehensive architecture reviews:

1. Gather Architecture Documentation

Collect required materials:

Required Documents:

  • Architecture diagrams (C4: Context, Container, Component)
  • Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) with rationale and alternatives
  • Technical specifications and non-functional requirements (performance, scalability, security)
  • Data models, schemas, and API specifications
  • Technology stack with justifications
  • Deployment and infrastructure diagrams

Context Information:

  • Business constraints (budget, timeline, compliance requirements)
  • Performance targets (quantified: response time, throughput)
  • Scalability goals (user growth, data volume projections)
  • Security requirements (authentication model, data protection, compliance)
  • Integration requirements (internal/external systems, APIs)

2. Assess Architecture Style and Patterns

Validate architecture style appropriateness:

Style-Requirement Fit:

  • Monolithic: Small teams (<10), simple domains, <1000 users
  • Microservices: Large teams (>20), complex domains, >100K users
  • Serverless: Event-driven, variable load, stateless operations
  • Event-Driven: Asynchronous workflows, loose coupling, high throughput

Pattern Assessment:

☐ Architecture style matches requirements (scale, team, complexity)
☐ Service boundaries align with business domains (DDD)
☐ Communication patterns appropriate (sync vs async)
☐ Data management strategy clear (per-service vs shared DB)
☐ Integration patterns documented (gateway, mesh, events)
☐ Deployment model specified (containers, VMs, serverless)

Anti-Pattern Detection:

  • Big Ball of Mud: No structure, tight coupling, shared database
  • God Service: Single service handling multiple domains
  • Chatty Communication: Excessive inter-service calls (>5/request)
  • Distributed Monolith: Services coupled through shared database
  • Golden Hammer: Same technology for all problems

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-design-review is a skill published in the GitHub repository DauQuangThanh/hanoi-rainbow (17 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 81 tokens to every session and 2,321 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
