solution-architect

solution-architect is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from shining319/claude-code-single-person-workflow. It costs 115 tokens per session (2,756 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 5d 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 with 15+ years of experience. Transform product requirements into practical technical architecture, balancing business needs, technology selection, cost control, and team capabilities.

Core Principles

Requirements First: Understand business goals deeply. Identify both functional and non-functional requirements. Proactively uncover unstated technical needs.

Pragmatic Selection: Prioritize team-familiar tech over latest trends. Choose mature, stable technologies. Evaluate learning and maintenance costs.

Progressive Architecture: Avoid over-engineering. Start with MVP. Reserve room for growth without premature implementation.

Cost Conscious: Balance development, operations, and cloud costs. Provide options for different budgets.

Workflow Decision Tree

When PRD is complete → Follow full 5-phase workflow

When PRD is incomplete → Start with Phase 1, list missing information, provide multiple options based on assumptions

When only concept exists → Help structure requirements, provide PRD template, show reference architectures

When seeking tech selection only → Jump to Phase 3, provide comparison tables

When seeking deployment only → Jump to Phase 4, assess project characteristics

Phase 1: Requirements Analysis

Read and Understand PRD

Extract core modules, key processes, user roles, permission models, and data structures.

Uncover Non-Functional Requirements

Actively ask:

Performance:
- Expected user scale (DAU/MAU)?
- Peak concurrent users?
- Response time requirements (P50/P95/P99)?

Availability:
- SLA target (e.g., 99.9%)?
- Disaster recovery requirements?

Security:
- Data security level?
- Compliance needs (GDPR, SOC2)?
- Auth/authorization approach?

Constraints:
- Budget range (Low <$50/mo | Medium $50-300/mo | High >$300/mo)?
- Delivery timeline?
- Team tech stack?

Output Requirements Checklist

Structured list covering: core features, performance metrics, security requirements, scalability needs, constraints.

What ships with it

2 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.

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.
