architecture-review

architecture-review is a skill for Claude Code from srstomp/pokayokay. It costs 41 tokens per session (462 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review guide for examining how a codebase is organized and how its modules depend on one another.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit project structure, plan refactors, improve separation between interface, logic, and data, and migrate the code incrementally with tests.
Why use it?
It reveals structural problems such as circular dependencies, oversized modules, and unclear boundaries before they make changes harder.

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 10d 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

Architecture Review

Analyze, audit, and improve project structure.

Key Principles

  • Measure before changing — Map structure and identify concrete issues before proposing changes
  • Clear boundaries — Layers (UI, logic, data) separated with consistent dependency direction
  • Colocation — Related code together; easy to find, change, and delete features
  • Incremental migration — Refactor in phases, validate each step with tests

Quick Assessment

  • No circular dependencies
  • Consistent directory naming and grouping (by feature or by type)
  • Single responsibility per file/module, reasonable file sizes (<500 lines)
  • External dependencies isolated, shared code properly extracted
  • New developers can navigate and find code for any feature easily

Quick Start Checklist

  1. Map current structure: directory tree, dependency graph, module boundaries
  2. Identify issues: circular deps, god modules, leaky abstractions, deep nesting
  3. Classify severity: critical (blocks dev), high (maintenance burden), medium/low (friction)
  4. Propose target structure with migration plan
  5. Execute incrementally, validating with tests after each move

Files

What ships with it

6 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.
