agentmd-usage

agentmd-usage is a skill for Codex from Aaditya1273/Agent.md. It costs 224 tokens per session (1,994 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for installing, finding, updating, and checking Agent.md engineering standards, which are plain-text instructions for software projects. It also checks dependency changes and scans agent instruction files for exposed keys or harmful instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to apply engineering standards, review breaking changes for pinned libraries, and lint files such as AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md.
Why use it?
It gives teams a way to manage shared development rules and catch outdated guidance or unsafe instruction content.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

Good fit Use it to apply engineering standards, review breaking changes for pinned libraries, and lint files such as AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md.

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

agentmd-usage 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent.md usage

Agent.md is a package manager for engineering standards: 304 packages across 20 categories, each a plain markdown file, each shipped in 11 model-tuned variants (claude, deepseek, gemini, glm, grok, kimi, minimax, mistral, open-ai, qwen, sarvam-ai). Substance is identical across variants; only framing changes (Claude variants use XML section tags, OpenAI variants use markdown headers, Grok variants put non-negotiables first, and so on). Nothing is executed — packages are markdown written to disk.

Two checks to run without being asked

  • Before writing code against a pinned library — Next.js, React, Prisma, Pydantic, SQLAlchemy, Zod, Tailwind, Express, Django, Vue — run npx activate-agentmd pins. It prints the breaking changes for the majors this project actually runs. Your training data may predate them; follow the pins over habit.
  • After editing an instruction file (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, GEMINI.md, .cursor/rules/*, .claude/rules/*, .claude/skills/*, .github/copilot-instructions.md) run npx activate-agentmd lint. It exits non-zero on a leaked key or a prompt-injection pattern; fix those before continuing.

Everything goes through one CLI. Always invoke it as npx activate-agentmd unless agentmd is already on PATH. Node 18+.

If the Agent.md MCP is connected

The registry is also served as an MCP server at https://agentmd.pages.dev/api/mcp (streamable HTTP). When it is connected, prefer its tools over shelling out to search — they return structured results without leaving the conversation:

Tool Use it for
list_categories See the 20 categories and package counts before choosing
search_packages(query, limit?) Find standards by keyword; add a model name to filter by family
get_package(category, package, model?) Read a standard's full markdown before recommending it
install_command(category, package, model?, agent?) The exact activate-agentmd commands to install and link it

Files

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md 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.
