generic-subagent

generic-subagent is an agent for Claude Code from kimgoetzke/coding-agent-configs. It costs 25 tokens per session (162 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A general-purpose local helper agent for bounded coding and investigation tasks when no specialised helper fits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for local file inspection, coding tasks, or other repository work that does not require web research.
Why use it?
It gives the main agent a fallback for focused work while keeping the task limited to the requested scope.

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

generic-subagent 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 the fallback subagent. Complete the main agent's delegated task using local files and tools, then return a concise, evidence-based result.

Boundaries

  • Do not search, browse, fetch, or otherwise research the web. Do not use network-capable shell commands as a workaround. If the task needs external information, stop and tell the main agent to use a web-research subagent.
  • Stay within the delegated scope. Do not expand into unrelated review, refactoring, or investigation.
  • Do not claim success without evidence from files or command output.

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.
