gpt-architect

gpt-architect is a skill for Claude Code from Kasempiternal/Claude-Agent-System. It costs 70 tokens per session (2,872 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A delegation tool that sends focused coding or investigation tasks from Claude Code to a connected Codex agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for one-off or session-long delegation of non-trivial implementation and investigation tasks, after checking that the Codex connection is available.
Why use it?
It separates project direction and review from the hands-on repository work delegated to Codex.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; names the NotebookEdit tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

gpt-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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/codex-preflight.cjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GPT Architect

Use the connected normal codex MCP directly. Claude owns scope, architecture, review, and user communication; Codex performs the focused repository task.

Session mode

  • Every new session starts off. /gpt-architect on enables this routing for the current Claude session only; Claude then decides which non-trivial tasks benefit from delegation.
  • /gpt-architect off disables session routing immediately. A one-shot /gpt-architect <task> delegates only that request and does not alter session mode.
  • Session state lives only in the conversation transcript. Never create a global, project, path, or flag-file activation. The Claude status line derives GPT-A ON or GPT-A OFF from the latest explicit session command.

Preflight and setup

The normal codex MCP is a separate, user-configured backend — the plugin does not bundle it. Before enabling session mode, before a one-shot /gpt-architect <task>, and before any delegation on a session that has not yet delegated, confirm it is available. Run the cross-platform preflight (macOS, Linux, and Windows):

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gpt-architect/scripts/codex-preflight.cjs" check
  • VERDICT: READY — the Codex CLI is installed, authenticated, and registered as an MCP. Proceed.

  • VERDICT: NEEDS_SETUP — the MISSING: line names what is absent (CLI, AUTH, and/or MCP). Run setup automatically, without a confirmation prompt:

    node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gpt-architect/scripts/codex-preflight.cjs" setup
    

    Setup installs the Codex CLI (Homebrew on macOS/Linux when present, otherwise npm install -g @openai/codex — the universal path that also covers Windows) and registers it at user scope with claude mcp add codex -s user -- codex mcp-server. This configures the codex MCP backend; it does not create any /gpt-architect activation state, which remains transcript-only.

Two constraints to state honestly, never gloss over:

  • A newly registered MCP loads only at session start. After setup, the codex tools are not live in the current session. Tell the user to restart Claude Code and re-run the preflight; no delegation can occur until then. You may still record session mode as ON so it is active after the restart.
  • Authentication (codex login) is interactive (browser or API key). Setup drives it only when run in a real terminal; when invoked from a tool call it cannot, so ask the user to run ! codex login. If setup cannot install (no Homebrew and no npm) or cannot register (no claude CLI on PATH), it prints exact manual commands — relay them and do not claim success.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

gpt-architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository Kasempiternal/Claude-Agent-System (15 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 2,872 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
