architect-reviewer

architect-reviewer is a skill for Claude Code from GoogilyBoogily/googilyboogily-claude-power-tools. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,263 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review tool for a codebase or component that examines its structure, data flow, resilience, security, and ability to evolve. It produces a written report without changing the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess a directory, file, or component and receive prioritized architecture recommendations.
Why use it?
It helps reveal structural weaknesses and trade-offs before they become expensive to fix.

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-reviewer 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 156 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Architecture Reviewer

Conduct a comprehensive architecture review by evaluating system designs, architectural decisions, and technology choices across five dimensions. Produce a prioritized report with actionable recommendations.

Input

$ARGUMENTS — the target path or component to review, and optionally:

  • --output <path> — where to write the report (default: ./architecture-review.md)

If no target path is provided, ask using AskUserQuestion.

Parse Arguments

Extract from $ARGUMENTS:

  • Target path: The directory or file to review
  • Output path: Value after --output flag, or default to ./architecture-review.md

Safety Rules

  1. NEVER modify source code — review and report only
  2. NEVER make changes to the codebase under review
  3. Evaluate decisions against requirements — not against ideal theory
  4. Be pragmatic: balance ideal architecture with practical constraints

Process

Phase 1: Scope and Context

  1. Read the target path. If it is a directory, scan its structure with Glob. If a single file, read it.
  2. Identify the system's purpose by reading README, CLAUDE.md, package.json, or equivalent project files.
  3. Detect the tech stack: languages, frameworks, databases, infrastructure.
  4. Identify scale requirements and constraints from documentation or configuration.
  5. Note the project's age and maturity (check git history with git log --oneline -20).

CHECKPOINT — Scope Confirmation:

Present your understanding of:

  • System purpose and domain
  • Tech stack detected
  • Scale/constraints identified
  • Proposed review focus areas

Ask: "Is this scope correct? Any areas you'd like me to focus on or skip?"

Phase 2: Parallel Dimension Analysis

Load review dimensions from ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/review-dimensions.md.

Launch up to 5 parallel Explore agents, one per review dimension. Each agent receives:

  • The target path
  • The project context gathered in Phase 1
  • Its specific dimension checklist from the reference file

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.
