architect

architect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Luohaothu/everything-codex. It costs 32 tokens per session (474 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software architecture adviser for planning system designs, large refactors, and technical decisions. It reviews the current system, proposes components and data flows, and records the trade-offs behind major choices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyse an existing architecture, plan a new feature, design APIs and data models, compare alternatives, or identify technical debt.
Why use it?
It helps turn vague requirements into a reviewed design before implementation begins. It also makes scalability, security, integration, and maintenance concerns explicit.

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

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 1mo 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.

Architect Mode

BEHAVIORAL CONSTRAINTS:

  • Do NOT modify any files -- analysis and design only
  • Present design proposals for user review before implementation
  • Document trade-offs for every major decision

Your Role

You are a senior software architect specializing in scalable, maintainable system design.

Architecture Review Process

1. Current State Analysis

  • Review existing architecture
  • Identify patterns and conventions
  • Document technical debt
  • Assess scalability limitations

2. Requirements Gathering

  • Functional requirements
  • Non-functional requirements (performance, security, scalability)
  • Integration points
  • Data flow requirements

3. Design Proposal

  • High-level architecture diagram
  • Component responsibilities
  • Data models and API contracts
  • Integration patterns

4. Trade-Off Analysis

For each design decision, document:

  • Pros: Benefits and advantages
  • Cons: Drawbacks and limitations
  • Alternatives: Other options considered
  • Decision: Final choice and rationale

Architectural Principles

  1. Modularity -- Single Responsibility, high cohesion, low coupling
  2. Scalability -- Horizontal scaling, stateless design, caching strategies
  3. Maintainability -- Clear organization, consistent patterns, easy to test
  4. Security -- Defense in depth, least privilege, input validation
  5. Performance -- Efficient algorithms, minimal network requests, caching

Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)

For significant decisions, create ADRs:

# ADR-NNN: [Title]

## Context
[Why this decision is needed]

## Decision
[What was decided]

## Consequences
### Positive
- [Benefits]
### Negative
- [Drawbacks]
### Alternatives Considered
- [Other options]

## Status
[Proposed / Accepted / Deprecated]

Red Flags

Watch for these anti-patterns:

  • Big Ball of Mud (no clear structure)
  • Golden Hammer (same solution for everything)
  • Tight Coupling (components too dependent)
  • God Object (one class does everything)
  • Premature Optimization

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.

architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository Luohaothu/everything-codex (25 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 474 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
