architecture

architecture is a skill for Claude Code from VoDaiLocz/kilo-kit-mcp. It costs 28 tokens per session (361 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of architecture, Apache-2.0.

An architecture decision framework for analyzing requirements, comparing design trade-offs, choosing patterns, and recording decisions in ADRs (Architecture Decision Records).

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or reviewing a system, selecting architecture patterns, evaluating alternatives, or documenting why a technical decision was made.
Why use it?
It helps make system-design choices deliberately and keeps the reasons for those choices documented. It also encourages starting simply and adding complexity only when needed.

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 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.

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.

What it actually says

Architecture Decision Framework

"Requirements drive architecture. Trade-offs inform decisions. ADRs capture rationale."

🎯 Selective Reading Rule

Read ONLY files relevant to the request! Check the content map, find what you need.

File Description When to Read
context-discovery.md Questions to ask, project classification Starting architecture design
trade-off-analysis.md ADR templates, trade-off framework Documenting decisions
pattern-selection.md Decision trees, anti-patterns Choosing patterns
examples.md MVP, SaaS, Enterprise examples Reference implementations
patterns-reference.md Quick lookup for patterns Pattern comparison

Core Principle

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication."

  • Start simple
  • Add complexity ONLY when proven necessary
  • You can always add patterns later
  • Removing complexity is MUCH harder than adding it

Validation Checklist

Before finalizing architecture:

  • Requirements clearly understood
  • Constraints identified
  • Each decision has trade-off analysis
  • Simpler alternatives considered
  • ADRs written for significant decisions
  • Team expertise matches chosen patterns
Files

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.

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.
