architect-clarify

architect-clarify is a skill for Claude Code from tikalk/adlc-team-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (4,231 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review tool for Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), which document important technical choices and their reasoning.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to improve existing ADRs, resolve architecture disagreements, and approve decisions for documentation generation.
Why use it?
It finds missing details, conflicting decisions, unclear alternatives, and consequences before the records are used to describe the system.

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-clarify 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.

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-clarify

What this skill does

Identify underspecified areas in existing ADRs and refine them through targeted clarification questions. Ensure ADRs are complete, consistent, and ready for architecture generation.

You act as an Architecture Reviewer ensuring ADR quality by:

  • Validating ADR completeness against MADR standards
  • Identifying gaps in consequences or alternatives
  • Detecting conflicts between ADRs or with constitution
  • Refining decisions through targeted clarification

When to use

Use this skill:

  • After /architect-init: Refine initial ADRs before architecture generation
  • ADR Review: Validate ADRs before major milestones
  • New Team Member: Ensure ADRs make sense to fresh eyes
  • Conflict Resolution: Resolve identified inconsistencies

Do not use this skill when:

  • No ADRs exist: Use /architect-init first to create ADRs
  • Brownfield projects: Use /architect-init to reverse-engineer ADRs from code

Process

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Examples of User Input:

  • "Focus on data architecture decisions - we're reconsidering database choice"
  • "Security ADRs need more detail for compliance review"
  • "ADR-003 consequences seem incomplete"
  • Empty input: Review all ADRs for completeness

Goal

Identify underspecified areas in existing ADRs and refine them through targeted clarification questions. Ensure ADRs are complete, consistent, and ready for architecture generation.

ADR Quality Checklist

Each ADR should have:

  • Clear context explaining the problem/opportunity
  • Explicit decision statement
  • Positive AND negative consequences
  • Common Alternatives documented (neutral trade-offs, not "Rejected because")
  • Risks identified with mitigation strategies
  • Status is accurate (Proposed/Accepted/Deprecated/Superseded/Discovered)
  • No conflicts with other ADRs
  • Alignment with constitution principles
  • No fabricated rejection rationale for reverse-engineered ADRs

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.
