repo-understanding-repository-architecture

repo-understanding-repository-architecture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wahidyankf/ose-public. It costs 48 tokens per session (697 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to the repository's six-layer structure, from project values and rules through development practices, agents, and workflows. It explains how the layers relate and where different guidance belongs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to navigate the repository, trace practices back to their governing principles, explain architecture, or add new conventions.
Why use it?
It makes a large repository easier to understand and helps explain why a rule or design decision exists. It also reduces the risk of placing new conventions in the wrong part of the project.

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

repo-understanding-repository-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 2d 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.

Repository Architecture - Six-Layer Hierarchy

This Skill provides guidance on the six-layer architecture governing the open-sharia-enterprise repository. Each layer builds on the foundation above, creating complete traceability from vision to workflows.

Purpose

Use this Skill when:

  • Understanding repository governance structure
  • Tracing rules back to foundational values
  • Explaining architectural decisions
  • Navigating layer relationships
  • Creating new conventions or practices
  • Understanding where Skills fit in the architecture

The Six Layers

See The Six Layers Overview for the layer diagram, key relationships, and a quick-reference table (location, purpose, change frequency, and what question each layer answers).

Layer 0-2: Vision, Principles, Conventions

See Layers 0-2 for WHY the project exists, the foundational values that govern conventions/development, and WHAT documentation rules those values imply.

Layer 3-5: Development, AI Agents, Workflows

See Layers 3-5 for HOW software is built, WHO the atomic executors are, and WHEN multi-step orchestration composes agents into processes.

Complete Traceability Example and Where Skills Fit

See Traceability and Skills for a worked Vision→Agents example (Color Accessibility) and why Skills are delivery infrastructure - not a governance layer - across their inline and fork modes.

Best Practices and Common Misconceptions

See Best Practices and Misconceptions for checklists when creating new conventions/practices/agents/workflows, and four common misconceptions about how the layers relate.

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.
