README

README is an agent for Claude Code from daffy0208/ai-dev-standards. It costs 0 tokens per session (906 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to specialized Claude Code agents, where each agent is suited to a different kind of development work. It describes a general-purpose agent and an explore agent for searching and understanding codebases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when deciding how to search code, study a repository’s architecture, investigate complex questions, or handle multi-step development tasks.
Why use it?
It helps choose an agent that matches the task, instead of using the same approach for every kind of repository work.

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

README 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 4d 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.

Claude Code Agents

Claude Code provides specialized agent types that optimize for different development tasks. Each agent has unique capabilities and performance characteristics.

Available Agent Types

General-Purpose Agent (Default)

The standard Claude Code agent for most development tasks.

Use Cases:

  • Code search and analysis
  • Multi-step research tasks
  • Complex codebase exploration
  • File operations and editing
  • General development assistance

Strengths:

  • Searching for code, configurations, and patterns across large codebases
  • Analyzing multiple files to understand system architecture
  • Investigating complex questions requiring exploration of many files
  • Performing multi-step research tasks

When to Use:

  • Default choice for most development tasks
  • When you need comprehensive analysis
  • When task involves multiple files or complex relationships

Documentation: See general-purpose.md


Explore Agent

Fast codebase exploration with configurable thoroughness levels.

Use Cases:

  • Initial repository assessment
  • Architecture understanding
  • Rapid codebase familiarization
  • Pattern discovery

Modes:

  • Quick: Fast overview, minimal depth
  • Medium: Balanced exploration (default)
  • Very Thorough: Deep analysis, maximum detail

When to Use:

  • Starting work on unfamiliar codebase
  • Need architectural overview
  • Searching for patterns or conventions
  • Building mental model of project

Documentation: See explore.md


Status Line Setup Agent

Configure status line display settings for Claude Code.

Use Cases:

  • Customize CLI output format
  • Configure status indicators
  • Set up display preferences

When to Use:

  • Initial setup
  • Customizing CLI experience
  • Adjusting output verbosity

Output Style Setup Agent

Create and manage output style configurations.

Use Cases:

  • Customize output formatting
  • Set up color schemes
  • Configure display styles

When to Use:

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.

README is an agent published in the GitHub repository daffy0208/ai-dev-standards (36 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 906 tokens. 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.
