dev-architecture-playbook

dev-architecture-playbook is a skill for Codex from majiayu000/spellbook. It costs 81 tokens per session (736 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing guide for planning and delivering a software project from product idea through architecture, implementation, testing, release, and operations. It selects the relevant development procedures for each kind of request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a sequence of skills for product discovery, architecture, APIs, security, databases, frontend work, implementation, testing, releases, and maintenance.
Why use it?
It prevents broad development work from starting without the necessary product decisions, technical contracts, ownership, and verification steps.

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

dev-architecture-playbook 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 11d 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.

Dev Architecture Playbook

Purpose

Use this as the lifecycle router before starting broad product or architecture work. It chooses the minimum useful skill chain, defines gates, and prevents starting implementation before the required contracts exist.

Route

Classify the request first:

Request Primary Skills Output
Idea, product direction, or market/user problem product-discovery, prd-master Product brief, user stories, success metrics
Architecture or module boundaries architecture-foundation, technical-spec, elegant-architecture Architecture spec, boundaries, rejected alternatives
API, auth, data, or schema contract api-design, auth-security, database-patterns, data-contract-migrations Versioned contracts and migration plan
UI/product surface frontend-design, ui-ux-pro-max, ui-design-system, playwright-automation UX flow, component plan, visual checks
Implementation workflow flowguard, threads, systematic-debugging, comprehensive-testing Bounded execution, ownership, root-cause debugging, and verification
Quality and regression risk comprehensive-testing, codebase-audit, vibeguard, project-health-auditor Test matrix and risk list
Release and operations release-engineering, config-secrets-environments, performance-capacity, incident-slo-runbook, observability-sre, devops-excellence Rollout, config, capacity, SLO, runbook

Required Gates

Do not treat the architecture as complete until these gates are explicit:

  1. Goal and non-goals.
  2. Domain model and ownership boundaries.
  3. External API, data, and config contracts.
  4. Security and permission model.
  5. Test strategy with command-level verification.
  6. Release, rollback, and migration gates.
  7. Observability, SLO, and incident response.

If a gate is irrelevant, state why. Do not silently skip data, security, or rollback gates for production systems.

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.
