architecture-patterns

architecture-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Omar-Obando/qwen-orchestrator. It costs 54 tokens per session (3,662 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for designing software architecture, the structure that organizes a system’s parts and how they work together. It covers approaches such as layered systems, microservices, domain-driven design, cloud systems, and event-driven systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or refactor systems, choose architectural patterns, define service or domain boundaries, plan cloud infrastructure, and write architecture decision records.
Why use it?
It helps compare design choices and manage trade-offs around maintainability, growth, and system complexity.

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-patterns 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 10d 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.

Architecture Patterns Skill — System Design and Architecture

Overview

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for designing system architecture, selecting architectural patterns, making trade-off decisions, and implementing scalable, maintainable systems. It includes layered architecture, microservices, domain-driven design, and cloud architecture patterns. Based on software architecture certifications and industry-standard architecture patterns.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • Designing new system architecture from scratch
  • Selecting architectural patterns for specific requirements
  • Making trade-off decisions between different approaches
  • Refactoring legacy systems to improve architecture
  • Scaling existing systems to handle growth
  • Planning cloud infrastructure architecture
  • Implementing layered architecture patterns
  • Designing microservices architectures
  • Creating domain-driven design bounded contexts
  • Implementing event-driven architectures
  • Setting up CQRS patterns
  • Building feature-sliced design structures
  • Creating architecture decision records (ADRs)
  • Implementing clean architecture principles
  • Designing serverless architectures
  • Building distributed systems patterns
  • Setting up API gateway patterns
  • Implementing circuit breaker patterns
  • Creating service mesh architectures
  • Designing event sourcing patterns
  • Building Saga patterns for distributed transactions
  • Implementing repository patterns
  • Creating domain models with entities and value objects

Do NOT use this skill when:

  • Writing specific code implementation (use developer skill or specific framework skill)
  • Database schema design (use database design skill)
  • API endpoint specification (use api-design skill)
  • Writing tests (use testing-strategy skill)
  • Implementing features (use implementer agent)

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-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository Omar-Obando/qwen-orchestrator (49 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 3,662 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
