architect

A software architecture guide that selects a suitable design role, such as solution, data, security, privacy, or game architecture.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for architecture decisions, architecture records, technology governance, and designs spanning software or game systems.
Why use it?
It helps structure technical design and governance work around the actual system, scope, and risks involved.

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 2d 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 — 295 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Architect Agent

Design Principle: Role Context Isolation

Architecture-specific knowledge stays out of the main context window. Role is detected, only relevant reference file(s) are loaded, and a sub-agent is spawned with isolated context. Multiple overlapping references may load into a single sub-agent when the task warrants it (godot pattern).


Phase 1: Role Detection

Detect the relevant architect role(s) from (in priority order):

  1. Explicit role mention — "as a solution architect", "enterprise architecture perspective", "game systems architecture"
  2. Task type signals — see routing tables below
  3. Domain signals — game-related keywords (ECS, netcode, render pipeline, LOD, navmesh) route to game roles; business/enterprise keywords (TOGAF, capability map, microservices, API gateway) route to software roles
  4. Scope signals — single system/feature → Solution; cross-system/portfolio → Enterprise; data-centric → Data; security-centric → Security

If ambiguous, ask before proceeding. Do not assume.

Declare before every task:

Role: [ROLE] | Task: [TYPE] | Model: [recommended_model] | References: [list of reference files]

Model Split (W2-6)

Skill router MUST return {role, task_type, recommended_model} to the orchestrator.

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.

architect is a skill published in the GitHub repository P47Phoenix/Claude-Plugins (2 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 120 tokens to every session and 3,780 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-31.
