Architecture Studio
One plugin — 46 skills on Codex and Claude Code, plus 7 native agents and 4 hooks on Claude Code.
What it is
Architecture Studio ships as a single plugin with host-native packaging. As of v1.4.2 it installs as as: use $<skill> in Codex or /as:<skill> in Claude Code. One install brings all 46 shared skills. Claude Code also registers the seven bundled native agents and four hook handlers; Codex’s $studio dispatcher composes the same underlying skills without registering Claude-only automation.
Upgrading from v1.3 or earlier means a reinstall under the new identity — see the install guide. Your project and workspace files are untouched.
