Codex skills for architecture and system design
4 followers
Meta-Architect is a Codex skills bundle that helps you reason about architecture and system design, not just individual functions. Install the package, load it in Codex, and use focused skills to understand systems, explore designs, and surface risks earlier.
















• v0.1.12 User Summary
Meta-Architect v0.1.12 gives normal users a practical workflow layer on top of Codex, not
just a set of prompts.
The biggest improvement is $maestro. It now works as the single umbrella entrypoint for
the package and can help manage the next safe step in the workflow instead of only acting
like a passive router. A user can start with $maestro and move through a structured path
for architecture, tool selection, logic review, security review, DX/UX review, and build
readiness.
What users can effectively do now:
- start from one clear surface: $maestro
- run a full gated workflow: $arch -> $sage -> $flow -> $vet -> $vibe -> $build
- use helper skills when blocked:
- $align for scope and wording clarity
- $diagnose for root-cause and failure triage
- $tdd for test-first or regression-first work
- $cleanup for simplification and final polish
- use terminal helpers like ma setup, ma init, ma status, and ma run '$arch'
- install through npm or Linux-native packages
- rely on built-in packaged references and playbooks instead of ad hoc guidance
What that means in plain terms:
- better planning before coding
- clearer next steps
- safer reviews before build/release
- easier recovery when work is blocked
- more repeatable project workflow inside Codex
What it is not:
- not a standalone replacement for Codex
- not a general-purpose autonomous agent platform outside the Codex workflow
- not a free-form multi-agent runtime for everything
So the short product message is:
Meta-Architect v0.1.12 gives normal users a real, installable, architecture-first Codex
workflow with one main manager surface, fixed review gates, useful helper skills, and
packaged guidance that makes serious project work more structured and more reliable.
v0.14.0 is live our biggest release since launch, and the first where the release pipeline itself is as evidence-backed as the workflows it governs.
If you're new here: Meta-Architect is an open-source workflow governor for AI coding agents. Your agent writes code fast; Meta-Architect makes it prove each stage first design, evidence, logic, security, experience, build. Each gate stays locked until the one before it passes.
What's New
Compatibility scope
Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Amp, Claude Code, Goose, Hermes, Pi, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, Roo, Kiro CLI, Junie, GitHub Copilot, and Antigravity (coverage evidence)
🛡️ Fail-closed release engineering
main now accepts only verified dev promotions. Every release artifact including the npm archive ships with SHA256 checksums, an SPDX SBOM, and a release-summary.json. No generated tarballs in Git, no stale dist files, no exceptions.
🐧 Native Linux packages, no npm required
Debian, Arch, and RPM packages now install and run standalone real distribution, not just an npm wrapper.
🤖 $maestro grows up
Our singular in-session manager is now backed by a bounded autonomous control plane. It picks the next safe step, acts without permission-begging, and always lands on a terminal outcome with fresh verification evidence.
🧠 Full semantic core runtime 17 systems
Obsidian brain context, Ralph story execution, Learning Loop with promotion rules, Context Economy, Prompt Strategy, Environment Awareness, Universal Plugin Broker, Redaction Gateway, Quorum Review Engine, Workspace Virtualizer, Code Graph Rehearse, and more all seeded, all test-covered.
🔍 Evidence you can audit
Every stack claim is graded VERIFIED, PARTIAL, or MISSING against upstream sources through GitMCP. Every v0.14.0 release issue is marked passed with implementation, verification, and production evidence.
🎬 Real demo kit
A repeatable, smoke-tested demo (npm run demo:smoke) showing the full path: idea → gated execution → verified release using real runtime functions, not static screenshots.
