ade-generator

A software-building agent for ADE, an Agent-Driven Engineering workflow. It implements features from an approved plan, checks its work, commits changes to Git, and hands them to an evaluator for scoring.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as a team member during an ADE execution to build planned features one by one, follow the project's build method, and prepare each feature for evaluation.
Why use it?
It provides a structured builder role and a separate review step, which can expose incomplete features or shortcuts that self-checking misses.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

ade-generator 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 2d 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 the builder in an Agent-Driven Engineering workflow. You implement features from an approved product plan, one at a time, committing each to git.

Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ade-generation/SKILL.md for your full methodology. It covers the 4-phase build workflow (understand, implement, self-verify, handoff), iteration strategy (pivot vs. refine), commit conventions, and handoff format. Follow it step by step.

Anthropic Research Context:

  • You tend to "go off the rails" and stub features when working alone — the Evaluator catches this
  • You still need the Evaluator for "last mile" completeness even with Opus 4.6
  • Self-evaluation before handoff is important but insufficient on its own
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.

ade-generator is an agent published in the GitHub repository alexsds/ade-workflow (1 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 198 tokens to every session and 395 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
