agent-architecture-analysis

agent-architecture-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from existential-birds/beagle. It costs 93 tokens per session (1,333 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An audit method for checking an application that uses language models and agents against the 12-Factor Agents methodology. It reviews areas such as prompts, tool calls, context, execution state, and pause-and-resume behavior.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review an agent codebase, assess compliance with the methodology, compare agent frameworks, and identify patterns that need improvement.
Why use it?
It gives developers a structured way to find architectural weaknesses in an agent system. The input does not describe the final report format or any automatic code changes.

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

agent-architecture-analysis 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 5d 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.

codebase_path Root path of the codebase to analyze Required

Analysis Framework

The full per-factor rubric — principle, search patterns, file patterns, compliance criteria (Strong/Partial/Weak), and anti-patterns for each of the 13 factors — lives in references/factors.md. During the Analysis Workflow, read the relevant factor sections there for the search patterns to run and the criteria to score against.

# Factor Focus
1 Natural Language to Tool Calls Schema-validated structured outputs from LLM
2 Own Your Prompts Prompts as first-class, versioned, templated code
3 Own Your Context Window Custom formatting of history/state/tool results
4 Tools Are Structured Outputs Validated JSON triggers deterministic code
5 Unify Execution State Single state object merging execution + business state
6 Launch/Pause/Resume APIs to launch, pause anywhere, resume
7 Contact Humans with Tools Human contact as a structured tool call
8 Own Your Control Flow Custom routing/retries, not framework defaults
9 Compact Errors into Context Errors fed back for self-healing + escalation
10 Small, Focused Agents Narrow responsibility, 3-10 steps each
11 Trigger from Anywhere CLI/REST/WebSocket/chat/webhook entry points
12 Stateless Reducer Pure (state, input) -> (state, output) agents
13 Pre-fetch Context Fetch likely-needed data upfront

See references/factors.md for the complete rubric for every factor above.


Output Format

Gate order: Do not assign Strong / Partial / Weak or treat recommendations as observed facts until Hard gates (after Analysis Workflow) are satisfied for the factors in scope.

Changes

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.
