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-design-guide 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 6d 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 Design Guide

Overview

Architectural research spans the technical, aesthetic, social, and environmental dimensions of the built environment. From structural engineering and building physics to urban theory and computational design, the discipline demands integration across multiple domains. Academic architecture research increasingly focuses on sustainability, computational methods, and evidence-based design -- areas where rigorous methodology is essential.

This guide covers the core principles that inform architectural research: the interplay of form and function, structural logic, environmental performance, and human experience. It also addresses the computational tools (BIM, parametric design, simulation) that have transformed how architects investigate and validate design decisions.

Whether you are conducting research on building performance, urban morphology, computational design methods, or the social impact of built environments, this guide provides the frameworks and tools to ground your work in established architectural theory and current best practices.

Fundamental Design Principles

The Vitruvian Triad (Updated)

Classical framework (Vitruvius, 1st century BCE):

FIRMITAS (Structural Integrity)
- Structural systems: load paths, material behavior, safety factors
- Building physics: thermal, acoustic, moisture performance
- Durability: service life, maintenance, resilience to hazards
- Modern addition: seismic, wind, and climate resilience

UTILITAS (Function)
- Program: spatial organization, adjacency requirements
- Circulation: movement patterns, wayfinding, accessibility
- Flexibility: adaptability to changing uses over time
- Modern addition: Universal design, inclusive environments

VENUSTAS (Delight)
- Proportion, rhythm, scale, materiality
- Light: natural and artificial, atmosphere, perception
- Cultural meaning: symbolism, context, identity
- Modern addition: Biophilic design, multisensory experience

Contemporary additions:
SUSTAINABILITY (since 1990s)
- Energy performance, carbon footprint, resource efficiency
- Lifecycle assessment, circular economy principles
- Passive strategies, renewable energy integration

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (since 2000s)
- Equity, community engagement, participatory design
- Affordable housing, public space, social infrastructure
- Post-occupancy evaluation, evidence-based design

architecture-design-guide is a skill published in the GitHub repository wentorai/research-plugins (291 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 2,612 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
