What it does

Architectural Forensics is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Master protocol for deconstructing agent frameworks to inform derivative system architecture. Use when (1) analyzing an agent framework's codebase comprehensively, (2) comparing multiple frameworks to select best practices, (3) designing a new agent system based on prior art, (4) documenting architectural decisions with evidence, or (5) conducting technical due diligence on AI agent implementations. This skill orchestrates sub-skills for data substrate, execution engine, cognitive architecture, and synthesis…

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including reference files (for example `references/framework-agent.md`, `references/orchestrator-agent.md` and `references/phase1-engineering.md`).

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Building AI agents, Fundraising and pitch decks and Intellectual property. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Analyzing an agent frameworks codebase comprehensively
  • Comparing multiple frameworks to select best practices
  • Designing a new agent system based on prior art
  • Documenting architectural decisions with evidence

Example prompts

  • “/architectural-forensics”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Engineering Chassis
  2. Cognitive Architecture
  3. Synthesis

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 755bc35. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Architectural Forensics loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 136 tokens; SKILL.md has 468 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~136
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~14k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 468 words (~2,015 tokens).

“Deconstruct agent frameworks to inform derivative system architecture.”
