talk-stack-humans-architect-ai-writes-code

talk-stack-humans-architect-ai-writes-code is a skill for Codex from jscraik/Agent-Skills. It costs 77 tokens per session (611 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to an architecture-first workflow where people define the system and AI writes implementation code within clear limits. Architecture is the high-level structure and rules of a software system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing intent documents, defining architecture constraints, separating planning from review, and checking agent output against acceptance criteria.
Why use it?
It prevents vague requests from producing code that conflicts with the intended design or user-acceptance requirements.

Skill for Codex

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

talk-stack-humans-architect-ai-writes-code 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 8d 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 — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

The Humans Architect the System, the AI Writes the Code

Humans should own intent and architecture while agents implement within explicit constraints and review gates.

Read Order

  1. Use outline.md for the talk thesis, concept map, and safe application boundaries.
  2. Use quote.md when the answer needs a short supporting excerpt.
  3. Use transcript.md only to confirm what remained after safety redaction.
  4. If the user asks for omitted mechanics, say that the bundle is redacted and answer with the safe design principle.

What This Skill Produces

  • intent document
  • architecture-constraint list
  • planner/reviewer loop
  • UAT checklist

Core Workflow

When answering a factual question:

  1. Identify the relevant concept from outline.md.
  2. Answer in 2-5 sentences.
  3. Add one short excerpt from quote.md only if it strengthens the answer.
  4. State when the bundle does not cover a requested detail.

When applying the talk to the user's work:

  1. State the system intent before implementation.
  2. List architectural constraints the agent must preserve.
  3. Separate planning from adversarial review.
  4. Use UAT criteria as the source of truth.
  5. Reject output that cannot be reviewed against intent.

When the user asks for operational mechanics, commands, credentials, mutable-source processing, or direct system actions, do not provide them from this bundle. Give the design-level alternative instead.

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.
