USAGE-GUIDE

An instruction guide that tells an AI agent how to choose and run the most relevant specialized agent for a user's request.

In plain words
What is it for?
For matching requests to available agents, handling multiple possible matches, and applying extra checks before an agent is called.
Why use it?
It gives agent selection a defined process instead of leaving every request to ad-hoc judgment.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

USAGE-GUIDE 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.

agents/USAGE-GUIDE.md — AI 강제 사용 지침서

목적: AI가 사용자 발화 → 적합 agent 1개 자동 선택·호출하는 결정 트리·프로토콜 버전: v1.1 (2026-06-11) 강제 로드: CLAUDE.md 0. 작업 시작 절차에 자동 로드 명시 (의무) 참조: agents/INDEX.md (활성 14 agent 압축 메타 + 네이티브 등록 loop-* 5종)


1. 강제 로드 선언

skills/USAGE-GUIDE.md 1. 과 동일 메커니즘. CLAUDE.md 0. 절차에 다음이 추가되어 있어야 함:

5. agents/USAGE-GUIDE.md + agents/INDEX.md (agent 선택 결정 트리)

2. 결정 트리 (5단계) — skills와 동일 패턴

Step 1. 사용자 발화 수신

의도 1~3문장 내부 CoT.

Step 2. agents/INDEX.md 의미론적 평가

4개 카테고리 절(활성 14 agent) 전수 후보 → description·trigger 의미론적 비교.

Step 3. 후보 분기

후보 수 처리
0개 "관련 agent 없음" 명시 → skills 매칭 재시도 → 둘 다 0이면 일반 응답
1개 자동 채택 + 이유 1줄 알림 + 호출
2개 이상 점수 최고 1개 자동 채택 + 이유 1줄 알림 + 호출

Step 4. Critical Path 보강

rules/critical-path.md 4기준 해당 시 사용자 1줄 확인 + logs/operations.log 기록.

Step 5. agent 호출 + 본 작업 진행

  1. 호출 형식 참조.

3. agent 호출 형식 — 인라인 주입 패턴

Claude Code의 Agent 도구는 글로벌에 등록된 subagent_type 만 호출 가능 (예: general-purpose, Explore, Plan).

본 하네스 agents/는 로컬 정의이므로 그대로 subagent_type 으로 사용 불가. 대신 다음 패턴으로 인라인 주입:

Agent({
  subagent_type: "general-purpose",
  description: "<agent name 기반 짧은 설명>",
  prompt: "
    <agent-definition file=\"agents/01_dev-workflow/developer.md\">
    {agent 본문 전체 인라인}
    </agent-definition>

    위 agent-definition을 따라 다음 작업을 수행:
    {사용자의 원 요청}
  "
})

이 방식은 본 plan(virtual-hopping-catmull) Phase 3 결재에서 채택. 향후 settings.json 정식 등록이 필요해지면 별도 결재 등록.


3-1. 도구 제약 frontmatter 표준 (C2 — 외부 하네스 클론 AgentDefinition 차용)

agent를 정의할 때 권한·라우팅 경계를 frontmatter(또는 본문 표)에 5속성 표준으로 명시한다. 검수자·실행자가 추측 없이 권한 경계를 알 수 있게 하기 위함이며, 특히 읽기 전용 비평 에이전트(critic)나 외부 영향 차단이 필요한 단계에서 의무다. 외부 하네스 클론의 AgentDefinition 속성 체계를 본 하네스 관행으로 번역해 채용.

속성 의미 값 예시
tools 허용 도구 화이트리스트 Read, Grep, Glob, Bash(읽기 전용) — 쓰기·편집·커밋·push 금지 시 명시
bashAllowedPrefixes 허용 bash 명령 prefix(쓰기 차단의 핵심) ls, cat, head, git log, git diff, grep, node --check
thinking-level 사고 깊이(난이도 대비 비용) low / medium / high
model-class 모델 등급(품질 게이트) frontier(최고) / standard / fast
routing-role 파이프라인 내 역할·에스컬레이션 규칙 specialist(전담, 범위 밖은 상위 위임) / orchestrator / worker

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.

USAGE-GUIDE is an agent published in the GitHub repository Global-mindee/WAY (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,591 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.
