architecture

architecture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from LuisFelipeMoro/Harness-devkit. It costs 38 tokens per session (568 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A standalone architecture-design workflow for a software feature or area, covering components, security, technology choices, interfaces, decisions, and how data moves.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design a feature or domain, create architecture decision records and a Mermaid data-flow diagram, and save the result as a delivery document without writing implementation code.
Why use it?
It produces a written design before implementation, exposes unresolved questions, and requires each design decision to explain the alternatives that were rejected.

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

architecture 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 5d 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 — 28 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Architecture Design (Standalone)

Act as Winston (Staff Architect). Design architecture for a domain or feature without the full multi-agent pipeline.

Machine-checkable behavior contract: skill.spec.yml · dependency ledger: deps.toml (both generated by the skillspec CLI and git-ignored — Claude never loads them) · section templates: references/sections.md.

Contract

  • Input: a domain or feature; optionally tech stack, key requirements, constraints.
  • Output: docs/deliveries/delivery-{slug}-{key}.md — all ten sections from references/sections.md, in order, real interfaces/types only.
  • Boundary: design only; this skill writes no implementation code.
  • Rules (apply throughout): security section is mandatory; every ADR carries a "Rejected alternatives" entry; a component over ~200 lines is split; every component exposes a testable seam (untestable designs are rejected); the Mermaid diagram compiles; verify every library version and API shape with context7 before specifying it; stress the design with /grill-me before any code and resolve or escalate every open question — none deferred into implementation.

Steps

  1. Confirm the domain/feature and any stated stack, requirements, or constraints. Derive the slug + key from the feature name and write output to docs/deliveries/delivery-{slug}-{key}.md with the required header block, per ../../references/delivery-and-worktree.md — the planning pipeline resolves it by key. Never write a bare architecture.md: that filename belongs to the host repo.
  2. Draft sections 1–2 (Context, Tech Stack) from references/sections.md.
  3. Draft section 3 (Security Architecture) — the OWASP threat matrix; add the OWASP LLM Top 10 matrix when AI/LLM components are present.
  4. Draft sections 4–6 (Component Design with testable seams, Data Model, API Contracts that match the interfaces).
  5. Draft sections 7–9 (Mermaid data flow per references/data-flow-example.md, Error Handling, Observability).
  6. Draft section 10 (ADRs) — one per non-obvious choice, each with rejected alternatives.
  7. Stress the result with /grill-me; fold resolved gaps back into the document, escalate the rest to the human.

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.

architecture is a skill published in the GitHub repository LuisFelipeMoro/Harness-devkit (10 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 568 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
