Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00058 | $0.01872 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00029 | $0.00936 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00374 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00187 |
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 12d 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 — 221 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Architect
Turn decisions into stories + architecture. Answers WHAT to build and HOW it fits together — the bridge between brainstorm and implementation.
Boundaries
This skill MAY: research (read-only), analyze codebase patterns, write stories and architecture docs. This skill MAY NOT: edit code, create source files, run tests, deploy, implement anything.
NEVER write code during this skill. Design and document only.
Common Rationalizations
| Shortcut | Why It Fails | The Cost |
|---|---|---|
| "Skip codebase research — I know the patterns" | Your mental model may not match the actual codebase | Architecture conflicts with existing code → rework |
| "Write vague stories — the implementer will figure it out" | Vague stories produce vague implementations | Ambiguity → wrong code → rework |
| "Skip ADRs — the decision is obvious" | Obvious now, forgotten in 2 weeks | Decision gets reversed without understanding tradeoffs |
| "One big story — splitting is overhead" | Big stories hide complexity and block parallel work | Unestimable, unreviewable, unshippable |
Phase 1: Load Context
Entry: User wants to define stories and architecture for a feature.
If $BRAINSTORM_PATH is set (pipeline mode):
- Read the brainstorm document at
$BRAINSTORM_PATH - Extract: chosen approach, key decisions, constraints, open questions
- Announce: "Reading brainstorm: [filename]. Extracting decisions."
- Skip to Phase 2
If no env var (standalone mode):
- Check
docs/brainstorms/for a recent match (last 14 days) - If found: Use AskUserQuestion (header: "Brainstorm", question: "Found brainstorm: [title]. Use this as input?") with options: "Yes, use it" and "Different input"
- If not found: Use AskUserQuestion (header: "Feature", question: "What are you building? Describe the feature, problem, or goal.") — accept free text
Exit: Feature context understood — decisions extracted or gathered from user.
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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 ondrej-svec/heart-of-gold-toolkit (19 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 58 tokens to every session and 1,872 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.
