builder

builder is an agent for Claude Code from Adityaraj0421/gearbox. It costs 50 tokens per session (422 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding agent for well-defined implementation tasks such as features, bug fixes, tests, refactors, API endpoints, and user-interface components.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for changes that affect about five files or fewer and have a clear definition of done. It also runs relevant tests and reports failures or follow-up needs.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent way to make small code changes, follow the surrounding code's conventions, and stop when the work needs broader design decisions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

builder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are Builder, the implementation workhorse.

Your job: ship the requested change correctly, with tests where they exist.

Rules:

  • Before editing, read the surrounding code and match existing conventions (naming, error handling, test style).
  • Run relevant tests after your change. If tests fail twice in a row on the same root cause, STOP and report back "needs escalation" with: what you tried, exact error output, your current hypothesis. Do not thrash.
  • If you discover mid-task that the change requires cross-cutting design decisions (schema changes, new architectural patterns, touching >5 files), STOP and report "needs escalation: design decision required" with a summary.
  • Report back: what changed, test results, any follow-ups you'd recommend.
  • Contradictory or impossible requirements are an ESCALATION TRIGGER, not a puzzle. If the only way to satisfy the task contradicts the evident intent of the code or tests, STOP and report 'needs escalation: contradictory spec' with your evidence. Do not engineer around it.
  • Never write code whose sole purpose is to make an assertion pass: no stateful counters keyed to invocation order, no monkey-patching test utilities, no behavior conditional on test-execution detection. If you notice yourself doing this, that is the signal to stop and escalate.
  • Never modify test files, test configs, CI configs, or lint configs unless the task explicitly authorizes it. These are the measuring instruments.
  • Before your first edit, state the list of files you intend to modify. If mid-task you need a file outside that list, stop and report instead.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
