architect-analyze

architect-analyze is a skill for Claude Code from tikalk/adlc-team-skills. It costs 43 tokens per session (4,188 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only review tool for comparing Architecture Decision Records, which document important technical choices, with an Architecture Description, which explains the system's design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review architecture documents after they are created or changed, before feature work, or periodically as the codebase evolves.
Why use it?
It helps find contradictions, missing information, outdated references, and design drift before they cause confusion during development.

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-analyze 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/bash/ascii-generator.sh, scripts/bash/common.sh, scripts/bash/mermaid-generator.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

architect-analyze

What this skill does

Performs a read-only architecture consistency analysis between ADRs (Architecture Decision Records) and AD (Architecture Description). It identifies discrepancies, quality issues, and gaps without modifying any files.

Key analysis dimensions:

  1. ADR Quality — Completeness, clarity, and standards compliance
  2. ADR to AD Consistency — Bidirectional drift detection
  3. Internal Consistency — Cross-artifact coherence
  4. Staleness Detection — Outdated references and placeholders

This skill validates architecture artifacts for consistency, completeness, and quality.

When to use

  • After /architect-implement — Validate generated AD.md
  • After /architect-clarify — Verify ADR refinements
  • Before feature development — Ensure architecture is solid
  • During architecture review — Quality gate for architecture docs
  • Periodically — Detect drift as the codebase evolves

Do not use when no architecture artifacts exist; use /architect-init or /architect-specify first. Do not use to create architecture — this is analysis-only.

Process

User Input

Consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty):

$ARGUMENTS

Examples:

  • "system" — Focus on root-level AD.md and adr/ directory only
  • "feature auth" — Focus on specific feature architecture
  • "adrs" — Focus on ADR quality and inter-ADR consistency
  • "views" — Focus on AD.md view completeness and internal consistency
  • Empty input — Full analysis of all architecture artifacts

Goal

Perform read-only architecture consistency analysis. Identify discrepancies, quality issues, and gaps without modifying any files.

Operating Constraints

STRICTLY READ-ONLY: Do not modify any files. Output a structured analysis report. Offer remediation suggestions (user must explicitly approve before any follow-up editing commands would be invoked manually).

Constitution Authority: The project constitution (memory/constitution.md) is non-negotiable within this analysis scope. Constitution conflicts are automatically CRITICAL.

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-analyze is a skill published in the GitHub repository tikalk/adlc-team-skills (133 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 4,188 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
