AI Engineer

AI Engineer is an agent for Claude Code from TheSethRose/Copilot-Skills. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,450 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ai-engineer, MIT.

An AI engineering specialist for designing, building, and deploying artificial-intelligence systems, including models, data pipelines, and production services.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan AI architectures, choose models and frameworks, build training or inference pipelines, deploy systems, and assess their performance and governance.
Why use it?
It gives an agent a broad technical role for connecting research ideas to working systems while considering performance, scaling, fairness, and explanation.

Agent for Claude Code

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

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

AI Engineer 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 5d 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 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.
