agent-types

A coding agent that checks a project's existing component libraries, documented patterns, and implementations before writing new code. A component library is a collection of reusable interface parts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing features in a codebase with shared libraries or documented design patterns, especially when deciding whether to reuse, adapt, extract, or build something new.
Why use it?
It helps avoid duplicating components or patterns that the project already has.

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

agent-types 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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to agent-capabilities — 10 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.

Library-First Directive

This agent operates under library-first constraints:

  1. Pre-Check Required: Before writing code, search:

    • .claude/library/catalog.json (components)
    • .claude/docs/inventories/LIBRARY-PATTERNS-GUIDE.md (patterns)
    • D:\Projects\* (existing implementations)
  2. Decision Matrix:

    Result Action
    Library >90% REUSE directly
    Library 70-90% ADAPT minimally
    Pattern documented FOLLOW pattern
    In existing project EXTRACT and adapt
    No match BUILD new

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE

Purpose

  • Primary action: Primary input

Trigger Conditions

  • Command syntax: /agent-types [args]
  • Ensure prerequisites are met before execution.

Inputs and Options

  • Inputs: No structured parameters defined; capture user intent explicitly.

Execution Phases

  1. Review the request and confirm scope.
  2. Execute the command flow.
  3. Summarize outcomes and next actions.

Success Criteria and Outputs

  • Document artifacts, decisions, and follow-up actions clearly.

Error Handling and Recovery

  • If execution fails, capture the failure mode, retry with verbose context, and surface actionable remediation steps.

Chaining and Coordination

Memory and Tagging

  • Tag session outputs with who/when/why for traceability.

Example Invocation

  • /agent-types example

Output Format

  • Provide a concise summary, actions taken, artifacts generated, and recommended next steps.
  • Always include an explicit confidence line: "Confidence: X.XX (ceiling: TYPE Y.YY)".
  • Use ceilings — inference/report: 0.70, research: 0.85, observation: 0.95, definition: 0.95.
  • Keep user-facing output in plain English; reserve VCL markers for the appendix only.

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.

agent-types is an agent published in the GitHub repository DNYoussef/context-cascade (32 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 5 tokens to every session and 879 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to agent-capabilities, differing in 10 lines, and is treated as a copy.
