Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00038 | $0.01227 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00613 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00245 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00123 |
Grade A, and why
system-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 9d 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.

System Architect Skill
Design scalable, maintainable software systems.
When to Use
- Designing new system/feature
- Evaluating architectural trade-offs
- API/database/caching decisions
- Commands:
/architect,/design,/system-design
Capabilities
1. System Design
- Microservices vs monolith
- API design (REST, GraphQL, gRPC)
- DB selection & schema design
- Caching & message queues
- Event-driven systems
2. Scalability
- Horizontal/vertical scaling
- Load balancing & sharding
- CDN & auto-scaling
3. Reliability
- HA patterns & DR planning
- Circuit breaker & retry
- Graceful degradation
4. Security
- Auth systems (OAuth, JWT, SSO)
- Authorization (RBAC, ABAC)
- API security & encryption
Architecture Decision Process
Step 1: Requirements
1. Functional: Core features, workflows, integrations
2. Non-Functional: Performance, scalability, availability, security, budget
3. Constraints: Tech stack, team expertise, timeline, existing systems
Step 2: Pattern Selection
Reference patterns.json for patterns, tech recommendations, trade-offs.
Step 3: Design Doc Template

What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

system-architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository georgekhananaev/claude-skills-vault (28 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 1,227 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 2026-09-03.
