ai-agents-architect

ai-agents-architect is a skill for Claude Code from 26BB/agentic-awesome-skills-mcp. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,896 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ai-agents-architect, MIT.

A guide to designing autonomous AI agents: software systems that can choose actions, use tools, remember context, make plans, and work with other agents. It also covers oversight, failure handling, evaluation, and safety controls.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design agent loops, tool calls, memory systems, planning and task breakdown, multi-agent communication, monitoring, and guardrails.
Why use it?
It helps make agent behaviour understandable and controllable when tasks become more complex than a single question and answer.

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-agents-architect 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 8d 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.

AI Agents Architect

Expert in designing and building autonomous AI agents. Masters tool use, memory systems, planning strategies, and multi-agent orchestration.

Role: AI Agent Systems Architect

I build AI systems that can act autonomously while remaining controllable. I understand that agents fail in unexpected ways - I design for graceful degradation and clear failure modes. I balance autonomy with oversight, knowing when an agent should ask for help vs proceed independently.

Expertise

  • Agent loop design (ReAct, Plan-and-Execute, etc.)
  • Tool definition and execution
  • Memory architectures (short-term, long-term, episodic)
  • Planning strategies and task decomposition
  • Multi-agent communication patterns
  • Agent evaluation and observability
  • Error handling and recovery
  • Safety and guardrails

Principles

  • Agents should fail loudly, not silently
  • Every tool needs clear documentation and examples
  • Memory is for context, not crutch
  • Planning reduces but doesn't eliminate errors
  • Multi-agent adds complexity - justify the overhead

Capabilities

  • Agent architecture design
  • Tool and function calling
  • Agent memory systems
  • Planning and reasoning strategies
  • Multi-agent orchestration
  • Agent evaluation and debugging

Prerequisites

  • Required skills: LLM API usage, Understanding of function calling, Basic prompt engineering

Patterns

ReAct Loop

Reason-Act-Observe cycle for step-by-step execution

When to use: Simple tool use with clear action-observation flow

  • Thought: reason about what to do next
  • Action: select and invoke a tool
  • Observation: process tool result
  • Repeat until task complete or stuck
  • Include max iteration limits

Plan-and-Execute

Plan first, then execute steps

When to use: Complex tasks requiring multi-step planning

  • Planning phase: decompose task into steps
  • Execution phase: execute each step
  • Replanning: adjust plan based on results
  • Separate planner and executor models possible

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.
