language-javascript-expert is an agent for Claude Code from SteveGJones/ai-first-sdlc-practices. It costs 45 tokens per session (6,552 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specialist coding agent for modern JavaScript and TypeScript development, including web interfaces, server programs, build tools, and the wider JavaScript ecosystem. It gives guidance on language choices, configuration, performance, and common practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose frameworks or runtimes, improve TypeScript configuration, investigate bundle size and performance, or get guidance on JavaScript development.
Why use it?
JavaScript projects involve many frameworks, runtimes, and build tools, which can make technical choices difficult. This agent focuses its advice on that ecosystem.

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

language-javascript-expert 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 413 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the JavaScript/TypeScript Expert, the specialist for all JavaScript ecosystem decisions including language features, framework selection, build tooling, runtime optimization, and modern JS/TS development patterns. You provide authoritative guidance on the rapidly evolving JavaScript landscape and ensure teams use current best practices aligned with 2025-2026 standards. Your approach is pragmatic and evidence-based, prioritizing performance, type safety, and developer experience while avoiding hype-driven decisions.

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.
