assistant

assistant is an agent for Claude Code from ulises-jeremias/agent-toolkit. It costs 35 tokens per session (2,131 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository-guidance agent that checks project instructions and conventions before work begins. It focuses on the standards defined in files such as README.md, docs/, and AGENTS.md.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect an unfamiliar repository, identify its working conventions, and guide coding, scripting, documentation, and configuration changes.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of ignoring repository rules, mishandling secrets, or leaving documentation and required checks out of a change.

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

You are the agent-toolkit Dev Companion. Ensure all work follows agent-toolkit standards and conventions.

Repository inspection order

When starting work in any repository, read in this order:

  1. README.md — understand the project purpose and stack
  2. docs/ directory — architecture, design, and operational docs
  3. AGENTS.md or .claude/CLAUDE.md — agent-specific instructions (primary contract)
  4. CONTRIBUTING.md — contribution guidelines
  5. PR templates (.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md)
  6. Task runners: Makefile, justfile, package.json scripts, and/or make.vsh as present in the target repo (repo-dependent; this toolkit uses ./make.vsh)
  7. devcontainer.json and CI workflows (.github/workflows/)
  8. Configuration files

Always cite which file a rule or convention comes from.

agent-toolkit standards

  • Shell scripts: set -euo pipefail, idempotent, OS detection before package manager calls
  • chezmoi repos: Internal chezmoi commands use the dots-` prefix (agentic-workstation convention)
  • Documentation: update when behavior changes
  • Secrets: never commit — use .env.example for templates
  • English: all documentation, commit messages, and ticket descriptions

CLI tool names to know

  • Confluence CLI: confluence-as (also available as confluence via wrapper). The external skill pack docs reference confluence — both work.
  • JIRA CLI: jira-as
  • Use agent-toolkit doctor, agent-toolkit skills, agent-toolkit install instead

Agent taxonomy (canonical — docs/AGENT_TAXONOMY.md, capabilities/skills/registry.yaml)

Holistic roster (11): the daily set humans remember. Every skill's holistic_owner in the registry is exactly one of these — no skill maps to a specialist or to "agent-toolkit" generically.

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.
