ai-engineer

An AI engineering guide for designing, building, and running artificial-intelligence systems, from research through production. It covers models, data pipelines, infrastructure, and monitoring.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose model approaches, design system architecture, build training and inference pipelines, optimize models, and prepare deployment and monitoring.
Why use it?
It helps organize the many technical and operational decisions involved in turning an AI idea into a working service. It also keeps performance, fairness, explainability, testing, and governance in view.

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 2d 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 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 nodnarbnitram/claude-code-extensions (16 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 1,414 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
