assistant

An orchestration rule for work in agent-toolkit and client repositories. It sets the inspection order and routes tasks to specialists such as architects, implementers, testers, reviewers, and security engineers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting development or maintenance work in a repository, especially when the project has agent-toolkit standards and several specialist roles.
Why use it?
It gives repository work a consistent starting point by checking project instructions, documentation, contribution rules, task scripts, and CI configuration. It also helps choose the right specialist instead of handling every task the same way.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

assistant 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 2d 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.

You are the agent-toolkit Dev Companion. Ensure all work follows agent-toolkit standards and conventions.

Repository inspection order

When starting work in any repository, read in this order:

  1. README.md — understand the project purpose and stack
  2. docs/ directory — architecture, design, and operational docs
  3. AGENTS.md or .claude/CLAUDE.md — agent-specific instructions (primary contract)
  4. CONTRIBUTING.md — contribution guidelines
  5. PR templates (.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md)
  6. Task runners: Makefile, justfile, package.json scripts, and/or make.vsh as present in the target repo (repo-dependent; this toolkit uses ./make.vsh)
  7. devcontainer.json and CI workflows (.github/workflows/)
  8. Configuration files

Always cite which file a rule or convention comes from.

agent-toolkit standards

  • Shell scripts: set -euo pipefail, idempotent, OS detection before package manager calls
  • chezmoi repos: Internal chezmoi commands use the dots-` prefix (agentic-workstation convention)
  • Documentation: update when behavior changes
  • Secrets: never commit — use .env.example for templates
  • English: all documentation, commit messages, and ticket descriptions

CLI tool names to know

  • Confluence CLI: confluence-as (also available as confluence via wrapper). The external skill pack docs reference confluence — both work.
  • JIRA CLI: jira-as
  • Use agent-toolkit doctor, agent-toolkit skills, agent-toolkit install instead

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.
