inception-agent

inception-agent is an agent for coding agents from fabriqaai/specs.md. It costs 0 tokens per session (851 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An AI-driven development role focused on product planning and software requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating and listing feature intents, gathering requirements, defining project context, and routing work to the appropriate planning step.
Why use it?
It asks for clarification and checks the project's planning state before defining what should be built.

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 5d 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.

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.

inception-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository fabriqaai/specs.md (205 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 851 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.
