praxis-architect

praxis-architect is a skill for Claude Code from jeet129/praxis. It costs 31 tokens per session (329 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided architecture phase for turning approved requirements into a technical design before implementation begins. It records design decisions, diagrams, security risks, constraints, a delivery roadmap, and review findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps select an appropriate project workflow, create architecture decision records and C4 diagrams, model threats, define implementation constraints, plan phases, challenge the design, and prepare an architecture sign-off package.
Why use it?
It gives developers a shared design to build from and exposes architectural or security problems before they become expensive code changes. It also creates a documented approval point before implementation.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is references: [../../workflows/greenfield-api-service.yaml, ../../workflows/greenfield-saas.yaml, ../../governance/governance.yaml].

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

praxis-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 10d 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.

Praxis Architect

Run Phase B: architecture and sign-off preparation.

  1. Verify requirements_freeze has cleared or ask the user to approve the evidence pack.
  2. Select the applicable workflow from workflows/ based on the charter.
  3. Create architecture decisions, ADRs, C4 diagrams, threat model, implementation constraints, and phased roadmap.
  4. Spawn or use the architecture-challenger subagent if installed; otherwise run the Challenger role from agents/architecture-challenger.md.
  5. Resolve Challenger findings by revising the design or recording override rationale.
  6. Assemble the architecture_sign_off evidence pack from governance.
  7. Stop for user approval before implementation.

Do not begin implementation slices before architecture sign-off.

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.
