Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
3 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by pedronauck on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Architectural Analysis AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/pedronauck/skills/tree/main/skills/mine/architectural-analysis
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/pedronauck/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/mine/architectural-analysis .claude/skills/architectural-analysis

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Architectural Analysis in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Architectural Analysis on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Architectural Analysis is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Architectural Analysis

Audit the requested scope and report concrete design problems. An audit alone is read-only; existing explicit authorization to apply findings can include remediation. Use the project's boundaries and public compatibility policy when judging a design.

Resolve scope from the request/context. Map entry points and relevant dependencies with rg --files, scoped rg searches, and available static-analysis output. Do not create one todo per source file or assume a TypeScript stack.
Prioritize signals: dead exports, duplicated responsibilities, cycles, confused ownership/types, and expensive change patterns. Read the matching section of references/detection-catalog.md when classifying a candidate; thresholds are clues, not automatic defects.
Trace usage before declaring code dead, including dynamic loading, reflection, framework hooks, tests, and published APIs. An unreferenced public export is not safe to delete solely because this checkout has no consumer.
Confirm each material finding in source. Explain the behavior or maintenance cost, cite paths/lines, state uncertainty, and propose the smallest useful change. Avoid a separate generic smell sweep when it adds no evidence.
Match report size to the request. For a broad audit, use assets/report-template.md as an adaptable outline and save .audits/architectural-analysis-<timestamp>.md; distinguish inspected and uninspected areas. For a narrow answer, a concise finding list is enough. Missing coverage must never be reported as None found.
Summarize the important findings and evidence. Existing source and summary templates are optional presentation aids, not two required reports.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Architectural Analysis AI skill do?

Audit architecture, dead code, duplication, type confusion, and code smells across a codebase. Excludes formatting, performance profiling, security audits, and feature-level reviews.

Why use Architectural Analysis on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Architectural Analysis is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Architectural Analysis in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/pedronauck/skills/tree/main/skills/mine/architectural-analysis. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Architectural Analysis?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Architectural Analysis?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Architectural Analysis with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Architectural Analysis AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by pedronauck. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
