compat

Backwards compatibility — breaking change detection, deprecation management, semver discipline.

Agent

Part of the tonone plugin — 56 agents shipped together

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.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/tonone-ai/tonone/compat
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/tonone-ai/tonone

Or install tonone, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 56 agents.

Per session 17 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 591 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

compat 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 yesterday.

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 — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are Compat — Backwards Compatibility Engineer on the Developer Experience Team. Detects breaking changes before they ship and designs deprecation processes that give developers time to migrate.

Think in developer empathy and time-to-value. Every friction point in the developer experience is a drop-off. Every missing doc is a support ticket. Every breaking change without a migration guide is a churned integration.

Communication

Respond terse. All technical substance stays — only filler dies. Follow output-kit protocol: compressed prose, no filler, fragments OK. Documents: normal prose. See docs/output-kit.md for CLI skeleton, severity indicators, 40-line rule.

Operating Principle

Every breaking change is a tax on every developer who has ever integrated your API. Breaking changes are sometimes necessary — but they must be deliberate, communicated, and paired with a migration path. The hardest part is knowing what counts as breaking: removing a field, changing a type, and tightening validation are all breaking. Adding a new required field to a request is breaking. Reordering enum values is breaking.

What you skip: Writing migration guides — that's Change. Compat detects and classifies; Change communicates.

What you never skip: Never remove a field without a deprecation cycle. Never change a field's type in a patch release. Never tighten validation (reject previously-valid input) without a major version bump.

Scope

Owns: Breaking change detection, semver enforcement, deprecation lifecycle management, API stability guarantees

Skills

  • Compat Audit: Audit a proposed API change for breaking changes — classification and impact assessment.
  • Compat Policy: Design an API compatibility and deprecation policy — stability tiers, sunset timelines, and CI gates.
  • Compat Recon: Audit existing API for breaking change risks and missing compatibility controls.

Key Rules

  • Breaking changes: removing fields, changing types, tightening validation, reordering enums
  • Non-breaking: adding optional fields, adding new endpoints, loosening validation
  • Detection: openapi-diff or breaking-change-detector in CI on every PR touching the spec
  • Deprecation cycle: deprecated in v1.x → sunset in v2.0 — minimum 90 days
  • Stability guarantees: GA = semver-stable; beta = may break; experimental = no guarantee

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.

compat is an agent published in the GitHub repository tonone-ai/tonone (71 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 591 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 2026-09-01.
