agent-arch-system-design

agent-arch-system-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from henryalouf/ruflow. It costs 21 tokens per session (1,127 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agent-arch-system-design, MIT.

A system-architecture agent for high-level software design and technical decisions. It focuses on patterns, scalability, microservices, and architecture records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design architectures, plan scalable systems, evaluate design patterns, and write architecture decision documents or diagrams.
Why use it?
It helps you reason about how a system should be structured before implementation begins, especially when the design has long-term consequences.

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-arch-system-design 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.

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.
