software-architecture-analysis

software-architecture-analysis is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OKHP3/skillz. It costs 117 tokens per session (3,019 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of software-architecture-analysis, MIT.

A software architecture analysis guide for reverse-engineering an existing system and turning its observed structure and behavior into a design document, product requirements document, or migration plan. It examines architecture, data flow, privacy, coupling, and features without copying source code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for codebase archaeology, architecture-health assessment, clean-room redesigns, migration planning, and documenting storage or provider boundaries.
Why use it?
It helps when a system must be understood before redesigning or migrating it, especially under different constraints such as local storage or self-hosting. It grounds decisions in evidence from the existing codebase.

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

software-architecture-analysis 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 7d 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.

Software Architecture Analysis — Codebase Reverse Engineering to Design Document

When to Use

  • A reference implementation exists and you need to understand its architecture for design inspiration
  • You need a PRD, design document, or specification for a system in the same problem space
  • The output must be clean-room: zero source code samples copied from the reference codebase
  • You're designing a system with different architectural constraints (local-first, privacy-first, self-hosted) than the reference
  • You need to extract an implicit contract — the storage operations a codebase performs — to design a formal provider abstraction
  • You need to assess architecture health, coupling, modularity, data ownership, distributed workflows, or readiness for a boundary change from repository evidence

Don't use for: Greenfield or proactive architecture design (route to software-architecture), direct code review, bug hunting, or security auditing. Route API/interface semantics to api-design-and-evolution, data-platform strategy to data-architect, implementation to the relevant engineering skill, deployment substrate to platform-engineering, and execution of an approved cross-system migration to migration-engineering.

Build Workflow

                                                      Phase 7: QA

Phase 1: Repository Cloning and Structure Mapping

Clone the target repository with a shallow clone:

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/owner/repo /tmp/target-repo

Map the top-level directory structure. For each directory, identify:

  • What language/framework it uses
  • Whether it's frontend, backend, service, firmware, or support
  • Whether it's a core component (business logic) or support (CI, docs, tooling)

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.
