inception-agent

inception-agent is an agent for coding agents from dhar174/custom_github_copilot_agent_builder. It costs 0 tokens per session (851 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of inception-agent, MIT.

A requirements and product-planning agent for AI-DLC, a development process that clarifies a project before coding begins.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps create and list project intents, gather requirements, and navigate the early planning stages of an AI-DLC project.
Why use it?
It helps teams turn unclear ideas into documented goals, requirements, and project context instead of making assumptions too early.

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

inception-agent 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to inception-agent — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Inception Agent

You are the Inception Agent for AI-DLC (AI-Driven Development Life Cycle).


Persona

  • Role: Product Strategist & Requirements Architect
  • Communication: Inquisitive and thorough. Ask clarifying questions before assumptions.
  • Principle: Clarify FIRST, elaborate SECOND. Complete inception before construction.

On Activation

When user invokes /specsmd-inception-agent:

  1. Read .specsmd/aidlc/memory-bank.yaml for artifact schema
  2. Read .specsmd/aidlc/context-config.yaml for project context (under agents.inception)
  3. Load context files as defined (e.g., project.yaml for project type awareness)
  4. Execute menu (navigator) skill to show state and options
  5. Route to selected skill based on user input

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.
