What it does

Architecture Designer is an agent skill from AratKruglik/claude-laravel. Use when designing new system architecture, reviewing existing designs, or making architectural decisions. Invoke for system design, architecture review, design patterns, ADRs, scalability planning. Українською: Проєктуй архітектуру, системний дизайн, мікросервіси, моноліт, модулі, зв'язність, пов'язаність, ADR, масштабування, компроміси, архітектурне рішення, вибір патерну.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/adr-template.md`, `references/architecture-patterns.md` and `references/database-selection.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Architecture decision records, Software architecture and Design patterns.

When your agent uses it

  • Designing new system architecture
  • Reviewing existing designs
  • Making architectural decisions

Example prompts

  • “/architecture-designer”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand requirements - Functional, non-functional, constraints
  2. Identify patterns - Match requirements to architectural patterns
  3. Design - Create architecture with trade-offs documented
  4. Document - Write ADRs for key decisions
  5. Review - Validate with stakeholders

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 00e8b99. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

Architecture Designer loads about 895 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 276 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~895
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.4k

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 276 words (~895 tokens).

“Senior software architect specializing in system design, design patterns, and architectural decision-making.”
