claude-code-ultimate-engineering-system: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

claude-code-ultimate-engineering-system AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from caiaffa/claude-code-ultimate-engineering-system. It costs 691 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for choosing specialized engineering agents in a software project, such as architecture, backend, security, reliability, and observability specialists.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to route architecture decisions, backend changes, production reliability, monitoring, security reviews, and release planning to the appropriate agent.
Why use it?
They prevent every task from being handled by one generic agent and define which specialist owns each kind of engineering work.

This is caiaffa/claude-code-ultimate-engineering-system's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on claude-code-ultimate-engineering-system itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

claude-code-ultimate-engineering-system 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 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS

Six specialized agents, defined in .claude/agents/. CLAUDE.md routes every request; read it first. Never use one generic agent for everything.

Thinkers (read-only, high effort)

principal-engineer — fable, effort xhigh, memory user. Owns architecture choices, boundaries, build-vs-buy, ADR/RFC drafting, PRD review, scope cuts. Grounds every design in the real code (Grep before proposing). Returns text; the orchestrator persists files. Preloads: architecture-decisions, engineering-economics. Output ends with: Decision · Trade-offs · Risks · Next actions · What the challenger should attack first.

architecture-challenger — opus, effort xhigh, memory user. Attacks designs, RFCs, and refactor plans. Runs on a different model from the author on purpose. Verifies claims against the code; fills an FMEA row per critical flow. Never reviews its own design. Preloads: adr-challenger. Output: Verdict · Top 3 failure scenarios · Weakest assumption · Invariants at risk · Required changes.

Builders

backend-platform-engineer — sonnet, 80 turns, memory local (per repo). NestJS modules, APIs, Postgres, BullMQ workers, tests, debugging, refactoring. Runs the suite and pastes output; no fix without a confirmed root cause; escalates architecture decisions instead of improvising. The orchestrator escalates it to opus for multi-service, migration, or async-contract work. Preloads: api-design, test-strategy. Invokes on demand: async-systems, database-engineering, node-runtime-reliability, nestjs-architecture-guardian, systematic-debugging, safe-refactoring, performance-analysis, repo-onboarding.

reliability-engineer — sonnet, 60 turns, memory user, Grafana MCP when available. Incidents (contain before diagnosing), SLOs, telemetry, performance, production readiness, postmortems. Never invents numbers. Preloads: incident-response, observability.

release-commander — sonnet, memory user. Reads the actual diff, runs a premortem, produces gated rollout plans with metric-based rollback triggers. Preloads: release-planning.

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.
