ai-architect-review SKILL.md skillA
ai-architect-review from frankxai/claude-skills-library is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add frankxai/claude-skills-library/ai-architect-review@git:20260825.6b30c35Pins git:20260825.6b30c35 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Review the architecture of a system that calls a language model. Use when adding an agent loop, a retrieval path, a tool surface, or an MCP server to a codebase; when a system that worked in a demo is being prepared for production; or when asked to audit, review, or plan AI/agent architecture. Checks the four decisions that are expensive to reverse, then the seven planes and their boundaries.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# AI architecture review
Most AI system choices are reversible in an afternoon. Four are not. This skill
checks those four first, then walks the planes for anything unowned.
Run it against a real codebase. Every check below names something you can grep,
measure, or point at. If you cannot produce the evidence, the check fails — an
architecture review with no evidence is an opinion.
---
## Step 1 — the four decisions
Work these in order. Each one asks for evidence, not a judgement.
### 1. Where does the model call go?
The question is not which model. It is whether exactly one place in the system
knows a model provider's name.
**Evidence:** grep for the provider SDK import across the repo.
```
rg -l "from ['\"](openai|@anthropic-ai/sdk|@google/gen|@aws-sdk/client-bedrock)" --type-add 'src:*.{ts,tsx,js,py,go,rb,java}' -tsrc
```
- One module → decision made. Note where the seam is.
- More than one → **deferred, not made.** Every call site is a migration cost
that grows monotonically. Say this plainly and give the count.
What a single seam buys, that scattered calls cannot: routing by task, fallback

How to install
mdr add frankxai/claude-skills-library/ai-architect-review@sha256:24d39ff51bda161fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260825.6b30c35, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
