aegis

aegis is a plugin for Claude Code from GanyuanRan/Aegis. Its manifest loads nothing; the 23 skills, 3 commands, 1 hook it bundles cost 935 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, MIT.

A collection of coding-agent skills covering test-driven development, debugging, collaboration, and common engineering workflows. Test-driven development means writing a failing test before the code that makes it pass.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for workflows such as writing tests first, investigating failures, coordinating independent work, and applying other included engineering practices.
Why use it?
It gives an agent established methods for handling development tasks instead of relying on an ad hoc process.

About the project

Aegis is a method pack that guides coding agents to inspect a project's baseline, make bounded changes, and verify their work with fresh evidence. It is for people using coding-agent hosts who want fewer unverified changes and less unnecessary process. The catalogue add-ons implement this method through skills, instructions, commands, a hook, and a plugin.

Security

Grade A, and why

aegis 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 7d 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.

What ships with it

1 file beside plugin.json in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
