awesome-architecture-audit

awesome-architecture-audit is a skill for Claude Code from khasky/awesome-agent-skills. It costs 139 tokens per session (3,774 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only inspection of an entire software project, covering its module boundaries, documentation, design practices, and ability to be extended with new providers, plugins, or adapters. It produces a prioritized report and a SHIP, FIX, or BLOCK verdict without editing code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before shipping or extending a project to assess architecture, documentation accuracy, YAGNI/KISS/SOLID practices, and how easily new integrations can be added.
Why use it?
It exposes structural problems and places where documentation no longer matches the implementation. Evidence from files, commands, and searches makes the findings easier to verify and act on.

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

awesome-architecture-audit 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 today.

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

Architecture Audit

Read an entire project — code, documentation, and the other files that make it buildable — and report how sound its design is, whether the docs still describe the code, whether it holds to YAGNI/KISS/SOLID, and how easily a newcomer could build it and extend it. Read-only: it produces a prioritized, scannable recommendations report and a verdict; it never edits code. Hand the report to a dev workflow to act on. Framework- and language-agnostic: it reasons about layers, contracts, and seams, not any one stack.

Read the real flow, don't guess. Every finding cites its evidence — a file:line, a command whose output you read, a grep with zero hits, a missing drift-guard. Trace the flow end to end before judging it. A file that "looks like a god-module" is a lead; confirm it by counting the distinct concerns it fuses, not its line count.

Bundled file (load on demand):

  • references/design-vocabulary.md — the shared words for a module's shape (module, interface, implementation, depth, seam, adapter, leverage, locality), the tests that use them (the deletion test, "the interface is the test surface", one adapter means a hypothetical seam and two mean a real one), the dependency categories that decide how a deepened module is tested, and the design-it-twice pass. Read it before writing any Track A or Track C finding, and use these words rather than inventing synonyms — sibling skills report against the same vocabulary.

Five audit tracks — run the ones in scope:

  • A. Architecture & boundaries — layering, dependency direction, cohesion.
  • B. Documentation fidelity — do the docs still match the code, scripts, and config?
  • C. Design principles — YAGNI / KISS / SOLID, with concrete violations and concrete good.
  • D. Extensibility & buildability — can a newcomer build from source and add a new provider/plugin/module by the docs?
  • E. Tests & guardrails — are checks at the right layer, and do they fail loudly on drift?

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.
