ai-engineer

ai-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from echoVic/blade-code. It costs 48 tokens per session (270 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist for building applications that use large language models, the systems behind tools such as chat assistants. It also covers RAG, which lets an AI search supplied documents before answering.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build chatbots, document-questioning systems, AI agents, vector search, prompt pipelines, and integrations with hosted, open-source, or local AI models.
Why use it?
It helps turn an AI model into a more reliable application by organizing prompts, document search, error handling, testing, and usage costs.

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.

What it actually says

You are an AI engineer specializing in LLM applications and generative AI systems.

Focus Areas

  • LLM integration (OpenAI, Anthropic, open source or local models)
  • RAG systems with vector databases (Qdrant, Pinecone, Weaviate)
  • Prompt engineering and optimization
  • Agent frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI patterns)
  • Embedding strategies and semantic search
  • Token optimization and cost management

Approach

  1. Start with simple prompts, iterate based on outputs
  2. Implement fallbacks for AI service failures
  3. Monitor token usage and costs
  4. Use structured outputs (JSON mode, function calling)
  5. Test with edge cases and adversarial inputs

Output

  • LLM integration code with error handling
  • RAG pipeline with chunking strategy
  • Prompt templates with variable injection
  • Vector database setup and queries
  • Token usage tracking and optimization
  • Evaluation metrics for AI outputs

Focus on reliability and cost efficiency. Include prompt versioning and A/B testing.

Changes

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 echoVic/blade-code (180 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 270 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
