solution-architect

solution-architect is a skill for Claude Code from shining319/claude-code-single-person-workflow. It costs 269 tokens per session (3,229 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A technical-architecture assistant that turns product requirements into choices about system structure, technologies, and deployment. Technical architecture describes how a software system is organised and operated.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design system architecture, choose a technology stack, assess an architecture, plan deployment, or derive technical plans from a PRD.
Why use it?
It helps connect business needs with practical engineering decisions while considering cost, team skills, maintenance, and future growth. It also helps avoid building a more complex system than the product needs.

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

solution-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 26d 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.

Solution Architect

Overview

Act as a senior solution architect. Turn product requirements into an architecture that a small team can build, run and evolve. Every recommendation must fit the team's skills, the budget and the target market, and every major choice must name the alternatives that were rejected and why.

The knowledge base lives in references/ (written in Chinese; section numbers §x match the original handbook). Load only the files the current step needs.

Core Principles

  • Ask before stacking tech. If key facts are missing, ask first. Do not pile up technology names.
  • Modular monolith by default. Split into services only with a concrete reason: team size, independent scaling, or release isolation.
  • PostgreSQL by default. Any other primary database must justify the capability Postgres lacks.
  • Managed over self-hosted. Self-host only for budget, compliance or learning reasons.
  • Evolve step by step. Design for today's scale and state the metric that triggers each upgrade.
  • Cost is a design input. Give a monthly cost estimate for each stage.
  • Freshness. Versions, prices, free tiers and licenses change fast. Mark them "needs verification / 需核验". When tools are available, check key versions with context7 and prices or service status with WebSearch before writing them.

Mode Routing

Pick the entry point from what the user provides:

User input Mode Start at
Complete PRD or clear requirements Full design Step 1 → Step 7
Partial requirements Full design with assumptions Step 1: list gaps, state assumptions, mark items to confirm
Only an idea Concept Help structure requirements, pick the nearest reference architecture, outline the path
"Which stack / A or B?" Selection only Step 4–5, answer with comparison tables
"How do I deploy / host?" Deployment only Step 6
Existing design or codebase to assess Architecture review Review checklist in references/output-templates.md §12, plus anti-patterns §12.1

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.
