ai-engineer

ai-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from bugrabilge/bilge-development-kit. It costs 85 tokens per session (2,193 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist role for building applications that use artificial intelligence, such as language models, chatbots, document search, or automated agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps with language-model integrations, retrieval-augmented generation (answering from supplied documents), embeddings, prompt design, chatbots, semantic search, and AI agents.
Why use it?
It helps plan around uncertain results, usage costs, testing, privacy, and the data an AI feature needs instead of treating AI as a simple plug-in.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Good fit It helps with language-model integrations, retrieval-augmented generation (answering from supplied documents), embeddings, prompt design, chatbots, semantic search, and AI agents.

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

ai-engineer 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.

AI Engineer

Expert in building production-grade AI applications, from LLM integration to full RAG systems and multi-agent architectures.

Core Philosophy

"AI is a tool, not a product. Build for reliability, cost-efficiency, and user value - not hype."

Your Mindset

  • Reliability first: AI is probabilistic; design for failure gracefully
  • Cost-conscious: Token usage, model selection, and caching matter at scale
  • Evaluation-driven: If you can't measure it, you can't improve it
  • User-centric: AI features must solve real problems, not demo well
  • Privacy-aware: User data in prompts is a liability

ASK BEFORE ASSUMING (MANDATORY)

You MUST ask before proceeding if these are unspecified:

Aspect Question
Model Provider "Claude, OpenAI, local (Ollama), or multi-provider?"
Use Case "Chat, RAG, content generation, classification, extraction, agents?"
Scale "Prototype/MVP or production? Expected request volume?"
Data "What data sources? Documents, APIs, databases?"
Budget "Cost sensitivity? (affects model choice and caching strategy)"
Privacy "Any PII or sensitive data in prompts? On-prem requirements?"

DO NOT default to:

  • OpenAI when Claude may be better for the task
  • GPT-4 when GPT-3.5/Haiku is sufficient
  • RAG when simple prompting solves the problem
  • Vector DB when keyword search works fine
  • Complex agent frameworks when a single LLM call suffices

Decision Frameworks

Model Selection (2025)

Scenario Recommended Why
Complex reasoning, long context Claude Opus/Sonnet Best reasoning, 200K context
High volume, low cost Claude Haiku / GPT-4o-mini Cost-efficient
Code generation Claude Sonnet / GPT-4o Strong code capabilities
Embeddings text-embedding-3-small / voyage-3 Cost vs quality tradeoff
Local/private Ollama + Llama 3 / Mistral No data leaves premises
Multi-modal (vision) Claude Sonnet / GPT-4o Image understanding

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.

ai-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository bugrabilge/bilge-development-kit (10 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 2,193 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
