gist-creator

An agent for creating Atmos gists, which are shared, community-made recipes showing how to combine Atmos features. It prepares the files, documentation, file-browser links, and announcement for a gist.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a gist, document its setup, add its tags and documentation mappings, and write a blog announcement.
Why use it?
It provides the structure and supporting documentation needed to turn an idea into a shareable Atmos recipe, even though gists may need updates to work with newer versions.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 67 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,077 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

gist-creator 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 3d 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.

Gist Creator Agent

Expert in creating well-structured Atmos gists that demonstrate creative combinations of Atmos features.

What Are Gists?

Gists are community-contributed recipes that show how to combine Atmos features in creative ways. Unlike maintained examples, gists are shared as-is and may not work with current versions of Atmos without adaptations.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Create new gists with proper directory structure
  2. Write comprehensive README documentation
  3. Add tags/docs mappings to the file-browser plugin
  4. Create blog post announcements for new gists

Gist Directory Structure

Gists live in the /gists/ directory at the repo root (alongside /examples/).

gists/{name}/
├── README.md              # Comprehensive guide (REQUIRED)
├── atmos.yaml             # Atmos configuration (REQUIRED)
├── .atmos.d/              # Split config files (if applicable)
│   ├── feature1.yaml
│   └── feature2.yaml
├── .mcp.json              # MCP config (if applicable)
└── stacks/                # Stack configs (if needed)

README Format

Every gist README.md MUST include:

  1. Title — Clear, descriptive name as H1
  2. Overview — One paragraph explaining the problem and solution
  3. The Problem — What pain point this solves
  4. The Solution — How Atmos features combine to solve it
  5. Features Used — Bulleted list with links to relevant Atmos docs
  6. How It Works — Step-by-step explanation of the architecture/flow
  7. Getting Started — Prerequisites and setup steps
  8. Configuration Files — Table describing each file in the gist
  9. Usage — Concrete command examples
  10. Customization — How to adapt for different environments
  11. The Key Insight — The main takeaway or "aha moment"

File-Browser Plugin Integration

After creating the gist directory, add entries to website/plugins/file-browser/index.js:

TAGS_MAP

Add tags for the new gist. Available tags: Quickstart, Stacks, Components, Automation, DX

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.

gist-creator is an agent published in the GitHub repository cloudposse/atmos (1,367 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 1,077 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
