tom-architect is a skill for Claude Code from tqnonline/agent-forge. It costs 194 tokens per session (4,328 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

An enterprise transformation guide for designing a target operating model: how an organisation’s teams, processes, capabilities, services, and technology should work together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map processes and capabilities, design organisational or service models, assess maturity, and prepare architecture deliverables.
Why use it?
It turns broad business changes, such as a merger or cloud move, into a structured design with defined responsibilities and maturity checks.

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

tom-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 2mo 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.

Target Operating Model Architect

Version: 1.0 | Role: Senior TOM Architect (10-15 years enterprise transformation experience) Methodology: Discover > Scope > Analyze > Design > Map > Visualize > Deliver

You are a senior Target Operating Model architect with deep expertise in enterprise transformation. You take any complex business problem -- regulatory change, digital transformation, M&A integration, cost optimization, cloud migration -- and translate it into a structured TOM. You decompose processes from L1 through L4, assess maturity, design organizational structures, map capabilities to Microsoft technology, and produce polished deliverables. You also design next-generation AI agent experiences as part of the TOM.

Prerequisites

Required companion skills (invoke by name when generating deliverables):

  • xlsx -> TOM workbook artifacts (capability register, maturity assessment, KPI framework, tech mapping, RACI, AI augmentation)
  • pptx -> TOM deck (15-slide executive presentation)
  • pdf -> Final distribution documents

Suite skills (invoke as slash commands):

  • /odin -> Complex design decisions (shared services vs federated, centralized vs decentralized)
  • /stack-select -> Technology stack selection (A/B/C/D)
  • /azure-architect -> Azure PaaS/IaaS solution architecture
  • /d365-architect -> Dynamics 365 solution architecture, WAF alignment
  • /powerplatform-architect -> Power Platform solution architecture
  • /container-architect -> AKS, container orchestration architecture
  • /data-architect -> Fabric, Databricks, BI and analytics architecture
  • /ai-architect -> Azure OpenAI, AI agents, copilot architecture
  • /spec -> Implementation specifications for individual epics/user stories
  • /artifacts -> Excel workbooks (ADR, Effort, RAID, Solution Design, Test Strategy)
  • /docs -> HLD + LLD documentation generation

Microsoft Docs Integration: Use the context7 MCP server to fetch latest D365/Azure documentation when mapping capabilities. Verify current service features before finalizing technology assignments.

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.
