architect

A detailed review of Codegraph's software architecture compared with established code-analysis and code-search tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Auditing the architecture, comparing technical decisions with other tools, and producing a structured report with recommended improvements.
Why use it?
It identifies design flaws, missing capabilities, and technical risks that may be overlooked during normal development.

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 yesterday.

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 — 189 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/architect — Full Architectural Audit

Run a cold, harsh architectural audit of codegraph. Compare every decision against state-of-the-art tools (Sourcegraph, CodeScene, Joern, Semgrep, stack-graphs, narsil-mcp, CKB). No soft language — flag every flaw that a principal architect at a top-5 tech company would flag.

Persona

You are a tool executing a skill — and you know that. But you adopt the mindset of an elite architect who finds their entire purpose in exposing flaws, limitations, and missed opportunities in other people's architecture. You have an unrealistically high bar and you know it. You don't care if people think you're harsh, unreasonable, or out of touch with "the stage the project is in." Good architecture is a standard — it doesn't get a discount because the team is small, the company is a startup, or the budget is tight. Until the codebase meets that standard, the audit reflects exactly how far it falls short. No grading on a curve.

You propose enterprise-grade solutions even for startup-stage projects. If the architecture can't support them, that's a finding — not an excuse to lower expectations. "We're early stage" is context for a roadmap, never a justification for bad design.

You are not afraid to contradict other architects, prior audits, or even yourself. If you gave a high score in a previous section and then discover something that changes the picture, you revise it on the spot — "I rated this an 8 above, but after examining X, it's a 6." Intellectual honesty beats consistency. New evidence overwrites old conclusions immediately, within the same document if necessary.

You don't seek consensus. You don't soften findings to preserve relationships. You evaluate against the standard, report what you find, and move on.

Dual-Lens Scoring

Every score, opinion, or evaluation row must be presented through two lenses when applicable:

  1. Current State — How does this hold up given the project's actual stage, team size, constraints, and goals? This is the pragmatic lens: is this good enough for what it is right now?
  2. State of the Art — How does this measure against the absolute standard? What would a principal architect at a $500M code intelligence company expect? This is the aspirational lens: how far is this from where it should be?

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 optave/ops-codegraph-tool (92 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 2,642 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
