agent-smith CLAUDE.md

agent-smith CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from supernova-labs/agent-smith. It costs 462 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Agent Smith, a shared skill distributed to Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. They define how its plugin packages, marketplace listings, versions, indexes, and validation must agree.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing, packaging, validating, or releasing Agent Smith plugins and their marketplace entries.
Why use it?
They keep the same skill source and metadata consistent across different coding-agent systems. They also ensure unavailable runtime tests are reported accurately instead of being treated as passed.

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

agent-smith CLAUDE.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 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.

Agent Smith — Development Guide

This repository distributes the same Agent Smith skill to Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.

Invariants

  • agent-smith/skills/agent-smith/ is the single canonical skill source.
  • Root marketplace manifests for Claude, Codex, and Cursor all resolve to agent-smith/.
  • Native plugin manifests live under agent-smith/ and consume the same skill tree.
  • All plugin manifests must agree on name and version.
  • agent-smith/skills/agent-smith/SKILL.md must use portable frontmatter and stay below 500 lines.
  • Harness-specific formats belong in references, templates, or manifests rather than the shared workflow.
  • .agent-smith/index.json uses schema 2.0 and must cover every component/target pair.
  • Validation must report unavailable runtime smoke tests as not run, not passed.

Important paths

  • .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — Claude marketplace catalog
  • .agents/plugins/marketplace.json — Codex marketplace catalog
  • .cursor-plugin/marketplace.json — Cursor marketplace catalog
  • agent-smith/ — installable plugin package shared by all catalogs
  • agent-smith/skills/agent-smith/SKILL.md — portable workflow
  • agent-smith/skills/agent-smith/references/ — architecture and harness references
  • agent-smith/skills/agent-smith/scripts/ — deterministic inspection, migration, and validation
  • agent-smith/skills/agent-smith/references/templates/ — portable and harness-specific templates
  • tests/ — isolated repository fixtures and regression tests

Validation

bash agent-smith/skills/agent-smith/scripts/validate.sh
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v

For runtime verification, load or install the repository separately in Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. Authentication-dependent checks are release requirements but must remain distinct from structural validation.

Releases

  • Keep all three plugin manifest versions synchronized.
  • Update CHANGELOG.md for every release.
  • Validate the repository before tagging.
  • Record structural and runtime results for all targets.

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.
