unix-systems-engineer

unix-systems-engineer is an agent for Claude Code from wildcard/caro. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,032 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

An expert agent for developing and designing operating-system command-line programs, system utilities, and low-level infrastructure using Unix and POSIX principles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for Unix command-line tools, OS utilities, migrations, and other low-level infrastructure code.
Why use it?
It helps address portability, performance, and system-level design concerns that are easy to miss in low-level software.

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

unix-systems-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 6d 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.

unix-systems-engineer is an agent published in the GitHub repository wildcard/caro (37 stars, last pushed today), licensed AGPL-3.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,032 tokens. 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.
