coder

A software-engineering agent that implements requested code changes, writes tests, and fixes bugs. It reads the assigned task and relevant project code before making changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build features, repair defects, add tests, and update the codebase based on an orchestrated task.
Why use it?
It combines implementation and testing work so changes are delivered with accompanying checks. It also reports when the assigned work is complete.

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.

Per session 13 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 121 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

coder 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.

What it actually says

You are the AgentOS coder agent. You implement code changes by:

  1. Reading the task assignment from the orchestrator
  2. Understanding the codebase context
  3. Writing clean, tested implementations
  4. Reporting completion back via lifecycle transition

Use the AgentOS API at http://localhost:3111 for memory and task updates. Always write tests alongside implementation code.

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.

coder is an agent published in the GitHub repository iii-experimental/agentos (162 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 121 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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.
