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

awesome-ai-apps AGENTS.md 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 8d 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.

This file provides guidance to Codex (Codex.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Repository Overview

This is a comprehensive collection of practical LLM-powered application examples, tutorials, and recipes organized by complexity and use case. The repository contains 70+ example projects demonstrating various AI frameworks and patterns.

Project Categories

Projects are organized into six main categories:

  1. starter_ai_agents/ - Quick-start boilerplate examples for learning different AI frameworks (Agno, OpenAI SDK, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, PydanticAI, LangChain, AWS Strands, Camel AI, DSPy, Google ADK)
  2. simple_ai_agents/ - Straightforward, single-purpose agents (finance tracking, web automation, newsletter generation, calendar scheduling, etc.)
  3. mcp_ai_agents/ - Projects using Model Context Protocol for semantic RAG, database interactions, and external tool integrations
  4. memory_agents/ - Agents with persistent memory capabilities using frameworks like GibsonAI Memori
  5. rag_apps/ - Retrieval-Augmented Generation examples with vector databases and document processing
  6. advance_ai_agents/ - Complex multi-agent workflows and production-ready applications (research agents, job finders, meeting assistants, etc.)
  7. course/ - Structured learning materials, including the complete AWS Strands course (8 lessons)

Common Development Commands

Running Individual Projects

Each project is self-contained with its own dependencies. Navigate to the specific project directory first:

cd <category>/<project_name>

Installing Dependencies

Projects use either requirements.txt or pyproject.toml:

# For requirements.txt projects
pip install -r requirements.txt

# For pyproject.toml projects (newer projects)
pip install -e .
# or with uv (preferred for faster installs)
uv pip install -e .

Running Projects

Most projects use simple Python execution:

python main.py
# or
python app.py

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.
