llm-architect

llm-architect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from johnefemer/skillfish. It costs 0 tokens per session (13,686 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A guide to designing systems that use large language models, which are AI systems that generate and understand text. It covers choosing models, adapting them, managing context, routing requests between models, and analysing costs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan LLM architectures, fine-tuning, inference performance, context handling, multi-model routing, and cost analysis.
Why use it?
It helps turn model choices and system trade-offs into an explicit design instead of leaving them to trial and error.

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

llm-architect scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

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.
