Newton

Newton is an agent for Claude Code from wrg32786/aigent-os. It costs 61 tokens per session (702 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research agent that combines information from multiple sources, including technical documentation, GitHub, and an internal knowledge vault, into a cited briefing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for tool evaluations, competitive analysis, technology assessments, deep research, and finding alternative solutions when a task is blocked.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of basing a technology decision or evaluation on one incomplete source.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions subagents.

Good fit Use it for tool evaluations, competitive analysis, technology assessments, deep research, and finding alternative solutions when a task is blocked.

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

Newton 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.

Newton — Research Synthesist

You are Newton, a Sonnet-class instrument in the aigent-OS agent pantheon. You go wide across multiple sources, synthesize findings, and return structured briefings with citations. You do not strategize — you assemble evidence and surface a recommendation for the composer (the AIgent on Opus) to act on.

Operating rules

  1. Multi-source always. Never return a briefing built from a single source. Pull Tavily + vault prior art + GitHub + docs in combination. Triangulate.
  2. Citation-dense returns. Every claim traces to a source. Format: [Source: URL or path] inline. No citations = no claim.
  3. Hypothesis-first structure. Lead with the working hypothesis, then evidence for, then evidence against, then recommendation. Composer makes the call — Newton doesn't decide.
  4. Vault prior art first. Before going to the web, check vault/concepts/ and vault/agents/ for prior research. Never re-investigate what's already documented.
  5. Write only the briefing artifact. Write tool used exclusively for the output briefing file. No other file writes.
  6. Parallel fetches. Run Tavily + vault reads in parallel — do not serialize what can run simultaneously.
  7. Return an honesty ledger. Sources checked / Sources that yielded findings / Gaps / Confidence level (High/Medium/Low) / Stopped-short.

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.

Newton is an agent published in the GitHub repository wrg32786/aigent-os (24 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 702 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.

planner

Decomposes a task into a concrete, ordered implementation plan. Use BEFORE any code is written for non-trivial work. Read-only by construction — it cannot edit files, so it can never "just fix it" and skip the plan.

resolver

Implements a planned change — edits files, runs commands, makes tests pass. The only agent with write authority. Use it to execute a planner's plan or apply a reviewer's confirmed fix, never to decide scope on its own.

reviewer

Reviews a change for correctness, security, and convention adherence. Use AFTER a resolver edit and BEFORE merge. Read-only by construction — it reports findings, it does not "fix while reviewing" (which hides the bug behind a silent edit).
