gen_layout

gen_layout is a command for coding agents from HorizonRobotics/EmbodiedGen. It costs 11 tokens per session (169 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that starts EmbodiedGen's layout-generation workflow, using layout-cli to create a layout from a request or task file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate layouts, including the background list and output location, then report the command and expected runtime.
Why use it?
It removes the need to remember which workflow to load and how to assemble the command and output settings.

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 commands/horizonrobotics/embodiedgen/gen_layout
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/HorizonRobotics/EmbodiedGen

Or install embodiedgen, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 8 commands.

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

gen_layout 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 4d 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 it actually says

Gen Layout Skill Command

Route the user's request to the EmbodiedGen interactive layout workflow.

Workflow

Step 1: Interpret the request

Use $ARGUMENTS if provided. If it is empty, ask for the task description or task file path.

Step 2: Load the skill

Use skill: "embodiedgen:layout-creator".

Step 3: Execute the workflow

Follow the skill and build the correct layout-cli command, including --bg_list and output settings.

Step 4: Deliver

Return:

  1. The exact command used
  2. The output root
  3. Expected runtime and any dependency warnings

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.
