README

A guide to the specialized agents available for the Nylas CLI codebase. It describes agents for writing code, generating tests, reviewing code, auditing security, exploring the codebase, updating documentation, and learning from mistakes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Plan parallel codebase exploration, split feature searches, run multi-file reviews, analyze test coverage, or select an implementation, testing, review, security, documentation, exploration, or learning agent.
Why use it?
It helps an agent choose the right specialist for a task and shows which agents can safely run in parallel. The guide is specific to a Go CLI project with a large codebase.

Agent for Claude Code

Install

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.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 1,074 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

README 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.

Parallelization Guide

Use parallel agents to explore or review the 745-file codebase without exhausting context.

When to Use Parallel Agents

Task Agents Why
Full codebase exploration 4 One per major directory
Feature search 3 Search cli, adapters, tui simultaneously
Multi-file PR review 4 Review different files in parallel
Test coverage analysis 4 Analyze different packages

Invocation Patterns

# Full exploration (3 agents)
"Explore using 3 parallel agents:
 - Agent 1: internal/cli/
 - Agent 2: internal/adapters/
 - Agent 3: internal/domain/ + ports/ + tui/"

# Feature search (3 agents)
"Find all email-related code using 3 agents across cli, adapters, tui"

# PR review (4 agents)
"Review these 8 files using 4 parallel code-reviewer agents"

Directory Parallelization Value

Directory Files Parallel Value
internal/cli/ 268 HIGH
internal/adapters/ 158 HIGH
internal/tui/ 77 MEDIUM
internal/domain/ 21 LOW (shared)

Safe vs Unsafe

Safe to parallelize:

  • Explore, review, search across different directories
  • Multiple code-reviewers on different files
  • Multiple codebase-explorers

Avoid parallelizing:

  • Write to same file
  • Modify domain/ or ports/nylas.go in parallel
  • Run integration tests in parallel (rate limiting)

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.

README is an agent published in the GitHub repository nylas/cli (68 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,074 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.
