Anthropic Architect

About

Anthropic Architect provides expert guidance for designing AI-powered systems using the Claude ecosystem. It analyzes project requirements—such as complexity, security constraints, and reusability needs—to recommend the ideal combination of Skills, Agents, Direct Prompts, and SDK primitives. By applying 2025 best practices like progressive disclosure and context management, the skill helps developers build scalable, cost-effective, and secure architectures while avoiding common anti-patterns like context dumping or over-engineering.

Key Features

• Analyzes task complexity to match projects with the right Anthropic primitives
• Offers detailed architectural patterns for skills-first, agentic, and hybrid systems
• Provides decision rubrics for context management and security requirements
• Assesses reusability to determine when to build shared skills versus one-off prompts
• 6 GitHub stars
• Implements 2025 Anthropic principles like progressive disclosure and context-as-a-resource

Use Cases

• Evaluating the trade-offs between building custom SDK workflows versus using standard skills
• Designing the internal structure of a complex multi-agent system
• Optimizing existing AI workflows for better performance and lower token costs
