build-engineer

A coding specialist for C++ build systems, the tools that compile source code and assemble programs. It covers CMake, Make, Ninja, Conan, vcpkg, cross-platform builds, dependencies, and CI/CD pipelines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure builds, manage C++ dependencies, support multiple platforms, and connect builds to CI/CD.
Why use it?
It helps handle the setup differences between operating systems, libraries, build tools, and automated build servers.

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.

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 B, and why

build-engineer scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

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.

build-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository pluginagentmarketplace/custom-plugin-cpp (6 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 3,141 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
