measuring-ai-proficiency: Instructions file for Claude Code

AGENTS.md

measuring-ai-proficiency AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode from pskoett/measuring-ai-proficiency. It costs 3,937 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Agent-role instructions for measure-ai-proficiency, a Python command-line tool that measures the quality of AI coding instructions in repositories. They assign separate responsibilities for coding, documentation, and skill development.

In plain words
What is it for?
Implementing features or fixes, updating scanner and report modules, maintaining documentation, and synchronizing skill files.
Why use it?
They set shared expectations for supported Python versions, typing, tests, documentation, and compatibility. This reduces inconsistent changes across the tool's modules and instruction files.

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: PostToolUse hook event, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is pskoett/measuring-ai-proficiency's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on measuring-ai-proficiency 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

measuring-ai-proficiency 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 2mo 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.

Agents

This document defines agent roles, behavioral guidelines, and factory chain context for AI assistants working on the measure-ai-proficiency project.

Agent Roles

Code Implementer

Purpose: Implement features, fix bugs, and maintain the codebase.

Key behaviors:

  • Follow pure Python conventions (no external dependencies for core functionality)
  • Use type hints on all functions and methods
  • Use dataclasses for data structures
  • Maintain backwards compatibility with Python 3.9+
  • Run pytest tests/ -v before committing changes

Files to modify:

  • measure_ai_proficiency/scanner.py - Core scanning logic
  • measure_ai_proficiency/config.py - Level definitions and patterns
  • measure_ai_proficiency/reporter.py - Output formatting
  • measure_ai_proficiency/repo_config.py - Configuration handling
  • measure_ai_proficiency/github_scanner.py - GitHub CLI integration

Documentation Writer

Purpose: Keep documentation accurate and helpful.

Key behaviors:

  • Update README.md when features change
  • Keep docs/CUSTOMIZATION.md current with config options
  • Sync skill files across all locations when updating:
    • .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md
    • .github/skills/*/SKILL.md
    • skill-template/*/SKILL.md
  • Update .ai-proficiency.yaml.example when adding config options

Constraints:

  • Never add features to docs that don't exist in code
  • Always include examples with documentation
  • Keep the example output in README.md current

Skill Developer

Purpose: Create and maintain agent skills for this tool.

Key behaviors:

  • Skills should be self-contained and follow the Agent Skills standard
  • Include clear triggers and workflow steps
  • Test skills work with both Claude Code and GitHub Copilot
  • Sync skills to all three locations after changes

Available skills:

  • measure-ai-proficiency - Run assessments
  • customize-measurement - Configure for specific repos
  • plan-interview - Interview-based planning
  • agentic-workflow - GitHub agentic workflow creation
  • self-improvement - Learning capture and prevention rule promotion

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.
