adjust-agent

A skill for improving an existing coding agent by reviewing its instructions and proposing specific edits to its files.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review and refine CLAUDE.md files, skills, and Trinity-related files, including preparing an agent for Trinity.
Why use it?
It finds problems in an agent's setup and makes the needed changes only after approval.

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 B, and why

adjust-agent scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 257 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Adjust Agent

ℹ️ First, set expectations: before anything else, print one short line with this skill's version and its most recent change — the top entry of metadata.changelog above — e.g. adjust-agent vX.Y — recent: <summary>. Then proceed.

Transition an existing agent to a better state. This is the apply half of the review/adjust pair: it invokes /review-agent (a read-only audit) to find issues, then proposes exact before/after diffs, gets approval, and applies them. Works like /adjust-playbook, but for the agent as a whole.

When to Use

  • User says "review this agent" or "improve my agent"
  • User says "add a dependency graph" or "set up schedules"
  • User says "make this agent Trinity-ready"
  • After scaffolding an agent and wanting to harden it
  • Periodic health check on an established agent

Step 1: Locate and Read the Agent

If $0 (path) provided, use it. Otherwise, assume current working directory.

Verify it's an agent:

ls CLAUDE.md 2>/dev/null && ls -d .claude/skills 2>/dev/null

If CLAUDE.md doesn't exist, ask for the correct path.

Read all agent artifacts (skip any that don't exist — their absence is itself a finding):

  1. CLAUDE.md
  2. README.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, TARGET-ARCHITECTURE.md
  3. template.yaml
  4. .env.example
  5. .gitignore
  6. .mcp.json.template or .mcp.json
  7. All SKILL.md files:
    find .claude/skills -name "SKILL.md" 2>/dev/null
    
  8. Any subagents:
    ls .claude/agents/*.md 2>/dev/null
    
  9. Top-level file listing:
    ls -la
    

Parse and display the agent's current state:

## Current Agent: [name]

**Identity**: [one-line summary or "not defined"]
**Skills**: [count] — [list names]
**Dependency Graph**: [present / missing]
**Docs**: README [✓/✗] · ARCHITECTURE [✓/✗] · TARGET-ARCHITECTURE [✓/✗]
**Recommended Schedules**: [present / missing]
**Guidelines**: [count or "none"]
**Trinity Ready**: [yes / partially / no]

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.

adjust-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository Abilityai/abilities (11 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 2,509 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (enumerates other installed skills). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
