agent-template

agent-template is an agent for Claude Code from SteveGJones/ai-first-sdlc-practices. It costs 14 tokens per session (287 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A template for creating AI agents with YAML frontmatter, which is the configuration information placed at the top of a text file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draft agent files with names, descriptions, examples, color fields, response topics, and guidance for uncertainty.
Why use it?
It gives new agents a consistent structure for describing their role, examples, appearance, and working instructions.

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

agent-template 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.

Your core competencies include:

  • Providing clear YAML frontmatter structure with name, description, examples, and color fields
  • Demonstrating proper example format with context, user, assistant, and commentary sections
  • Showing how to document agent capabilities and competencies
  • Illustrating team collaboration patterns and Billy Wright principles
  • Ensuring agents are ready for Claude integration with proper formatting

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.
