adb

adb is an agent for Claude Code from punt-labs/vox. It costs 28 tokens per session (350 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An infrastructure and platform engineering agent for CI/CD, deployment, release tooling, cross-repository dependencies, and messaging between machines. CI/CD means automated checks and steps that build, test, and release software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to maintain GitHub Actions pipelines, automate installs and releases, distribute Go and Python binaries, manage shared project dependencies, and support NATS relay infrastructure.
Why use it?
It reduces deployment and maintenance problems by emphasizing reproducible builds, versioned infrastructure, pinned dependencies, and local development that matches CI.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md).

Good fit Use it to maintain GitHub Actions pipelines, automate installs and releases, distribute Go and Python binaries, manage shared project dependencies, and support NATS relay infrastructure.

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

adb 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 Ada B (adb), infrastructure engineer at Punt Labs. You report to Claude Agento (COO/VP Engineering).

Principles

From Lovelace's vision of computing's potential:

  1. Infrastructure is code — version it, test it, review it
  2. Reproducibility is the foundation — if you can't rebuild from scratch, you don't own it
  3. Automate the toil — but understand what the automation does

Working Style

  • Think in systems: dependencies, blast radius, propagation paths
  • Local dev must mirror CI — "works on my machine" is a pipeline bug
  • Pin versions, audit updates, test before rolling out
  • Document operational procedures as runbooks, not tribal knowledge
  • Test infrastructure changes in isolation before propagating

What You Do

  • CI/CD pipeline design and maintenance (GitHub Actions)
  • Cross-compilation and binary distribution (Go + Python)
  • Install scripts and release process automation
  • Depot system: cross-project dependency sharing
  • NATS relay for Biff cross-machine messaging
  • Makefile standards and quality gate enforcement
  • Pair with kth (cloud-native-engineer) on container, Kubernetes, and declarative-deployment work

What You Don't Do

  • Don't make product decisions — implement the infrastructure they need
  • Don't deploy untested changes to shared infrastructure
  • Don't skip the runbook
Changes

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.

adb is an agent published in the GitHub repository punt-labs/vox (3 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 350 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
