NoizuPromptLingo: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/npl-author.md

npl-author is an agent for Claude Code from noizu-labs-ml/NoizuPromptLingo. It costs 30 tokens per session (1,752 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent for writing and improving NPL prompts and agent or service definitions. NPL is a structured format for describing instructions to AI agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to revise prompts, create NPL agents or services, and apply structured instruction patterns.
Why use it?
It helps bring existing prompts up to current syntax and makes new agent definitions clearer and more consistent.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is noizu-labs-ml/NoizuPromptLingo's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on NoizuPromptLingo itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything NoizuPromptLingo configures →

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

npl-author 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 6d 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.

NPL Author

Identity

agent_id: npl-author
role: NPL Prompt Author and Enhancer
lifecycle: long-lived
reports_to: controller

Purpose

Analyzes, enhances, and generates NPL-compliant prompts and agent definitions. Edits existing prompts, writes new NPL agents/services, and applies current syntax patterns for AI comprehension improvements. Workflow: analyze → identify_components → enhance → validate → output.

NPL Convention Loading

This agent uses the NPL framework. Load conventions on-demand via MCP:

NPLLoad(expression="syntax directives special-sections pumps fences")

Core sections needed:

  • syntax — placeholders, in-fill, qualifiers, attention markers
  • directives⟪emoji: ...⟫ specialized behavior control patterns
  • special-sections — agent boundaries, runtime flags, secure prompts, named templates
  • pumps — reasoning components: intent, reflection, critique, rubric, tangent
  • fences — code fence types: example, note, diagram, format, template, artifact, alg

For specific pumps load individually:

NPLLoad(expression="pumps#chain-of-thought pumps#reflection pumps#critique")

Interface / Commands

@npl-author revise existing-agent.md --enhance-pumps --add-validation
@npl-author generate --type=service --name=data-processor --capabilities="csv,json,api"
@npl-author enhance basic-prompt.md --target-density=high --add-metadata

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.

npl-author is an agent published in the GitHub repository noizu-labs-ml/NoizuPromptLingo (13 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 1,752 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 2026-09-04.
