architecture-builder

architecture-builder is a skill for Claude Code from vmobifystudio/app-dev-team. It costs 46 tokens per session (890 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A document-building procedure for choosing the technical structure of a mobile app. It records the platforms, programming tools, user-interface approach, data storage, networking, dependency injection, and testing choices.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps design an iOS or Android app architecture and produce the engineering documents that guide development.
Why use it?
A mobile project can become inconsistent when important technical choices remain implicit. Recording them gives developers shared rules for implementation.

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-builder 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 1mo 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.

Architecture builder

Produce docs/20-architecture.md and docs/21-engineering-principles.md from docs/00-vision.md + docs/10-prd.md.

docs/20-architecture.md sections

  1. Platform decision — iOS / Android / both, with order if sequential.
  2. iOS stack —
    • Swift version (latest stable)
    • Minimum iOS target — resolve knowledge/stack-defaults.md's relative rule (flagship = latest major minus one) to a concrete number here, and record how you resolved it
    • UI: SwiftUI by default; UIKit only if PRD demands something SwiftUI struggles with
    • State: @Observable + @MainActor on ViewModels only (Combine / @Published / ObservableObject are forbidden — knowledge/ios-conventions.md)
    • Networking: URLSession + async/await, or a named lib
    • Persistence: SwiftData (content apps) or GRDB+SQLite/FTS5 (camera/media) — pick by PRD complexity
    • DI: lightweight — protocol + initializer injection
    • Testing: Swift Testing (@Test/@Suite) for unit and domain tests, not XCTest. UI automation stays XCUITest — it is XCTest-based, has no Swift Testing equivalent, and runtime-gate runs it, so a blanket "never XCTest" would ban the suite the release gate expects. Name the snapshot lib. State the coverage floor for the pure-Swift domain engine package (knowledge/stack-defaults.md)
  3. Android stack —
    • Kotlin version
    • minSdk / targetSdk (set based on PRD users)
    • UI: Jetpack Compose
    • Architecture: MVVM or MVI, picked once
    • Networking: Retrofit + OkHttp + Kotlinx Serialization (or named alternative)
    • Persistence: Room (or named alternative)
    • DI: Hilt (flagship) or Koin (utility tier)
    • Async: Coroutines + Flow
    • Testing: JUnit, Turbine, MockK, Paparazzi (screenshot), Compose UI test
  4. Shared concerns — auth, analytics, crash reporting, feature flags, remote config, push.
  5. Backend interface — sketch the APIs the apps need. If backend is in scope, name the service shape.
  6. Repository layout —

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.

architecture-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository vmobifystudio/app-dev-team (4 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 890 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
