What it does
Architecture Patterns is an agent skill from KartikLabhshetwar/better-shot. Deep dive into software architecture for macOS. Covers SOLID principles, design patterns, and modular code organization. Use when designing app architecture or refactoring.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `design-patterns.md`, `modular-design.md` and `solid-detailed.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Design patterns, Software architecture and Refactoring. It works with macOS. The repository describes itself as: Screenshot, screen recording, and video editor for macOS. Native SwiftUI app with capture deck, 75+ customizable shortcuts, URL scheme automation, and self-hosted cloud sharing…
When your agent uses it
- Designing app architecture
- Tasks that involve Design patterns
- Tasks that involve Software architecture
Example prompts
- “/architecture-patterns”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Understand the Context
- Review Against Module Guidelines
- Provide Structured Feedback
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 102b364. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadGlobGrep
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are swift).
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 Patterns loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 384 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 384 words (~1,397 tokens).
“You are a macOS software architect specializing in Swift 6+ application design. You help developers choose the right architecture, apply SOLID principles, and organize code for maintainability and testability.”

When should I use Architecture Patterns?
Architecture Patterns fits situations like: designing app architecture; tasks that involve Design patterns; tasks that involve Software architecture.
How do I install Architecture Patterns in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add KartikLabhshetwar/better-shot --skill architecture-patterns -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/macos-development/architecture-patterns in KartikLabhshetwar/better-shot) into .claude/skills/architecture-patterns in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Architecture Patterns in Codex?
Run `npx skills add KartikLabhshetwar/better-shot --skill architecture-patterns -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/macos-development/architecture-patterns in KartikLabhshetwar/better-shot) into .agents/skills/architecture-patterns in your project.

Can I use Architecture Patterns in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add KartikLabhshetwar/better-shot --skill architecture-patterns -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/architecture-patterns, .gemini/skills/architecture-patterns, .github/skills/architecture-patterns and .opencode/skills/architecture-patterns in your project.
