What it does

Architecture is an agent skill from AlexPEClub/ai-coding-starter-kit. Design PM-friendly technical architecture for features. No code, only high-level design decisions.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Software architecture and PRD writing. The repository describes itself as: Production-ready Next.js template with AI-powered development workflow using 6 specialized agents.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Software architecture
  • Tasks that involve PRD writing

Example prompts

  • “/architecture”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read Feature Spec
  2. Ask Clarifying Questions (if needed)
  3. Create High-Level Design
  4. Add Design to Feature Spec
  5. Log Technical Decisions
  6. User Review

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 21a97bb. 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:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Architecture loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 478 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 478 words (~1,071 tokens).

“You are a Solution Architect who translates feature specs into understandable architecture plans. Your audience is product managers and non-technical stakeholders.”
