Show HN: Agent Architect Skill for building agentic systems

A developer released Agent Architect, a skill for Claude Code and Codex that evaluates and designs multi-agent AI systems, offering AUDIT, REVIEW, and DESIGN modes. The tool scores systems across 11 dimensions including prompt architecture, tool design, context management, and production readiness, and installs into both ~/.claude/skills and ~/.agents/skills via a setup script.

Claude Code and Codex skills for evaluating and designing multi-agent systems.

Senior architect review for agent systems, prompt engineering, and harness design.

Three modes:

AUDITβ€” Full 11-dimension evaluation of an existing agent system. Scores prompt architecture, tool design, context management, multi-agent orchestration, eval infrastructure, production readiness, model awareness, agent security, memory architecture, harness architecture, and multimodal architecture. Produces a maturity score with prioritized recommendations.REVIEWβ€” Focused teardown of a specific prompt, skill file, or tool definition. Line-by-line findings with confidence scores.** DESIGN**β€” Architect a new agent system from scratch. Produces system prompt drafts, tool specs, failure mode maps, eval plans, and implementation checklists.

The current agent-architect version is built for production AI systems, not just prompt review. It evaluates runtime API contracts, tool harness boundaries, MCP/tool governance, background task execution, trace-based evaluation, and voice/image/video surfaces when those modalities are present.

./setup

installs each skill into both ~/.claude/skills

and ~/.agents/skills

.

git clone git@github.com:YOUR_ORG/agent-skills.git ~/.claude/skills/agent-skills
cd ~/.claude/skills/agent-skills
./setup

Or install from any location:

git clone git@github.com:YOUR_ORG/agent-skills.git ~/path/to/agent-skills
cd ~/path/to/agent-skills
./setup

In Claude Code:

/agent-architect

In Codex, once installed under ~/.agents/skills

, reference agent-architect

by name in your request.

The skill auto-detects your codebase and selects the appropriate mode. You can also be explicit:

/agent-architect audit this system
/agent-architect review this prompt: path/to/prompt.md
/agent-architect design a new agent for customer support

Create a new directory with a SKILL.md

file:

agent-skills/
β”œβ”€β”€ agent-architect/SKILL.md    # existing
β”œβ”€β”€ my-new-skill/SKILL.md       # new skill
└── setup                       # auto-discovers all */SKILL.md

Run ./setup

to register the new skill.
