architecture-review

architecture-review is a skill for Claude Code from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. It costs 35 tokens per session (605 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository architecture review workflow that uses Ontoly's software graph, a map of code elements and their relationships. It reports module boundaries, package structure, service ownership, dependencies, cycles, evidence, and confidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explain a codebase's architecture, inspect dependencies and cycles, assess architectural risks, and produce an evidence-backed review.
Why use it?
It provides traceable evidence for architecture questions instead of relying only on a manual reading of repository files.

About the project

AAS Core is a local control plane for coding agents that lets them search a large catalogue of skills, choose a stack, validate it, and create a reproducible plan. It is used to assemble and review agent workflows through its CLI, local MCP server, catalogue, plugins, and Workbench. The catalogue add-ons provide the skills, plugins, bundles, and workflows that AAS Core helps agents select and validate.

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

architecture-review 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

When to Use

  • Use when this upstream workflow matches the user's stated goal.
  • Use when the task requires the procedures documented in this skill.

Architecture Review

Use this skill when the user asks for architecture review using Ontoly evidence.

Required Workflow

Follow the shared Ontoly workflow. Read the graph evidence rules, MCP usage, best practices, and fallback rules when the task requires detail.

Ontoly Capabilities

Use these capabilities first: ExplainArchitecture, GraphStatistics, FindCycles, FindDependencies, EvidencePack.

Output Contract

Return:

  • answer or plan
  • capabilities invoked
  • graph evidence with node ids, edge types, source spans, and graph hash when available
  • confidence: high, medium, or low
  • fallback reason if repository files were inspected

Boundaries

Do not implement compiler, query, MCP, SDK, or business logic in the skill. Do not search repository files until Ontoly cannot answer or evidence must be confirmed.

Resources

Examples

User: Apply this skill to my current task.
Assistant: Follow the workflow in this skill, cite limitations, and ask before risky steps.

Limitations

  • Imported upstream skill; verify credentials, permissions, and safety boundaries before execution.
  • Does not replace environment-specific validation, testing, or maintainer review.
Files

What ships with it

9 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.
