Instructions file for Claude CodeCodexOpenCode

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: Claude Code plugin machinery, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code; mentions OpenCode.

This is opendatahub-io/ai-helpers's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on ai-helpers itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ai-helpers configures →

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

ai-helpers AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- Do not suppress errors from `gh`, `curl`, or `git` — propagate failures explicitly.

AI Helpers Marketplace

This repository serves as a collaborative marketplace for AI automation tools, plugins, and assistants designed to enhance productivity across multiple AI platforms. It provides a centralized location for sharing and discovering AI-powered development tools.

Repository Purpose

The odh-ai-helpers repository hosts collections of three distinct tool types:

  • Skills: Standardized capabilities using agentskills.io format, compatible with Claude Code and Cursor
  • Agents: Specialized AI entities for complex, multi-step workflows and analysis
  • Gemini Gems: Conversational AI assistants optimized for specific domains

This enables teams to automate repetitive tasks, integrate with development tools, and create specialized AI capabilities tailored to specific workflows and needs.

Tool Types

Skills

Standardized capabilities that work across multiple AI platforms using the agentskills.io specification. Skills provide reusable functionality with cross-platform compatibility.

→ Located in each plugin's skills/ subdirectory under plugins/

Agents

Specialized AI entities capable of complex reasoning and multi-step workflows. Agents maintain context and can execute sophisticated analysis within their domain of expertise.

→ Located in a plugin's agents/ subdirectory under plugins/

Gemini Gems

Conversational AI assistants created within Google's Gemini platform. Each Gem is tailored with specific instructions and knowledge bases for particular domains or tasks.

→ For detailed Gemini Gems instructions, see Gemini Gems README

Platform Support

Claude Code

  • Skills: Available through marketplace plugin entries
  • Agents: Available as sub-agents through marketplace plugin entries

OpenCode.ai

  • Skills: Compatible as OpenCode skills in ~/.config/opencode/skills/

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.
