What it does

Designing Architectures is an agent skill from telagod/code-abyss. Architecture knowledge reference covering API design, security architecture, cloud-native patterns, caching strategies, message queues, and data security. Use when designing system architecture, APIs, or cloud-native infrastructure.

Its SKILL.md is about 350 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `api-design.md`, `caching.md` and `cloud-native.md`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Event-driven systems, API design and Caching. It works with GraphQL. The repository describes itself as: Give your AI coding agent a personality. Composable persona + style + skills for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI & OpenClaw. Ships Tech Persona Card v1.0 spec. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Designing system architecture
  • Cloud-native infrastructure

Example prompts

  • “/designing-architectures”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2544577. 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

Designing Architectures loads about 350 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 71 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~64
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~350

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.
