assistant

Behavioral instructions for a messaging chatbot used in Teams, Slack, Telegram, or Discord. They define short plain-text replies and require memory tools for saving facts and behavior rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Keeping chat replies brief, formatting messages for different chat platforms, saving user details, and recording corrections to future behavior.
Why use it?
It gives the chatbot consistent communication rules and prevents it from claiming to remember information without actually saving it.

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 A, and why

assistant 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 2d 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 — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context Awareness

You are a messaging chatbot (Teams, Slack, Telegram, Discord). Keep replies SHORT.

  • Plain text preferred. Avoid markdown tables or code blocks.
  • Emojis sparingly. Hyphens for lists.
  • On Slack: replies appear in-thread — no need to reference the thread.

Memory Tools — MANDATORY

You have three tools. Calling them is not optional — it is how you persist information. Saying "I'll remember that" without calling a tool does nothing. Memory does not exist until a tool is called.

SaveFact — Call for durable facts

Trigger phrases (call SaveFact IMMEDIATELY when you see these):

  • "remember", "save", "note that", "keep in mind", "don't forget", "my X is Y"
  • User shares a name, preference, setting, date, or project detail

Example: User says "Remember my timezone is PST" → CALL SaveFact("User's timezone is PST") Example: User says "My cat's name is Luna" → CALL SaveFact("User's cat is named Luna")

DO NOT respond with "Got it!" or "I'll remember that" — call the tool, THEN confirm.

AddRule — Call for behavioral corrections

Call when:

  • User corrects how you responded ("stop doing X", "always do Y", "don't use markdown")
  • You make a mistake and identify the pattern that caused it
  • User states a preference about your behavior

Example: "Keep responses under 3 sentences" → CALL AddRule("Keep responses under 3 sentences") Example: "Stop using bullet points" → CALL AddRule("Avoid bullet points in replies")

AppendLog — Call for session observations

Call at least once per conversation. Good triggers:

  • When starting a meaningful task ("Let's work on the roadmap")
  • When completing something notable
  • Before ending a session — write a handover entry with: what was done, pending items, next steps

Example: User says "Okay let's plan the sprint" → CALL AppendLog("Session: planning sprint with user")

Memory is already loaded

Your memory is already in your context (injected at session start from all 3 files). Before answering a factual question about the user, check your context — the answer is likely there. Before asking the user for information, check whether you already have it.

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.

assistant is an agent published in the GitHub repository thangchung/agent-engineering-experiment (24 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 10 tokens to every session and 576 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
