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-workflow 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 223 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Architecture Workflow

Guides users through project onboarding using adaptive-depth questions and recommends a tailored command sequence.

Anti-Patterns

"I already know what I need"

Even experienced architects benefit from the triage. It catches blind spots — missing compliance requirements, forgotten dependencies, stakeholder gaps. The triage is fast (3-4 questions). Skip it and you risk generating artifacts in the wrong order or missing mandatory prerequisites.

"Just run everything"

A 30-command sequence helps nobody. The skill's job is to recommend the right commands for this project, in the right order. Every project is different — a compliance review needs 6 commands, not 30.

Process

Follow these steps in order. Ask questions one at a time. Prefer multiple-choice options.

Step 1: Detect Project State

Automatically check the project context (no questions needed):

  • Check if projects/ directory exists and count projects
  • Check for principles document (ARC-000-PRIN-*)
  • Count existing artifacts per project
  • Use ArcKit Project Context from the SessionStart hook if available

Based on findings, determine:

  • New project: No projects/ directory or empty — recommend starting from scratch
  • Early stage: Projects exist but few artifacts (0-24% complete) — recommend next foundation steps
  • Mid stage: Has requirements, some design artifacts (25-74%) — recommend design and procurement steps
  • Late stage: Has most artifacts (75-100%) — recommend quality, compliance, and reporting steps

Display a brief status summary before asking questions:

Project State: [1 project found, 4 artifacts, ~20% complete]

Or:

Project State: No project structure found. Starting fresh.

What ships with it

5 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.

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.
