core: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/agent-tower-dev/SKILL.md

agent-tower-dev is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from agent-tower/core. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,628 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A development guide for Agent Tower, an application that runs coding-agent workflows across a backend, web interface, desktop app, and documentation site. It explains where to look and how shared data, real-time messages, workspaces, and agent sessions must fit together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying Agent Tower’s server, database, agent pipeline, workspaces, team runs, real-time communication, React interface, Electron app, or documentation.
Why use it?
It helps keep changes consistent across the application’s connected parts. It also highlights security boundaries and the tests or builds needed for different kinds of changes.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is agent-tower/core's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on core itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything core configures →

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

agent-tower-dev 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 24d 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.

Agent Tower 开发指南

工作流程

  1. 先看工作区状态和相关包的 package.json,按任务读取下列 reference;以真实实现和邻近测试为准,历史设计及 CLAUDE.md 可能落后于代码。
  2. 沿调用链检查 shared 类型、Prisma、Service/Route、Socket/MCP 和前端缓存。涉及执行时,另外区分 Task、Session、runtime turn、OS 进程和 TeamRun Invocation 的状态与所有者。
  3. 业务不变量放 Service;SessionManager 负责业务会话及持久化,RuntimeCoordinator 协调 CLI/ACP Driver。AgentPipeline 只是 CLI 的 PTY/解析子链路,不代表全部 Agent 执行。
  4. 沿用邻近错误响应、依赖注入和缓存模式;普通 Route 做输入及响应转换,已有特殊文件/代理 Route 不借局部需求统一重构。
  5. 先验证直接受影响的行为,再按跨包契约扩大检查。公开行为变化同步 packages/docs-site/docs/;专项设计和内部排障放顶层 docs/。

仓库入口

范围 实际入口
共享契约 packages/shared/src/types.ts、socket/events.ts、agent-runtime-support.ts、provider-capabilities.ts
服务及 CLI packages/server/src/cli.ts / index.ts 设置环境并同步 schema,app.ts 组合 HTTP、Socket、worker
Agent 执行 packages/server/src/services/session-manager.ts、runtime/、pipeline/、executors/、output/
浏览器应用 packages/web/src/routes/index.tsx、hooks/、lib/socket/、stores/
桌面及文档 packages/desktop/src/main.ts、scripts/build-publish.mjs、packages/docs-site/

表中短路径沿用该行已标出的 src 目录,完整路径相对仓库根目录。shared 包对外导出指向 dist;Vitest 则将主要 shared import alias 到源码,因此测试通过不代表跨包构建已通过。

按需读取

必守边界

  • 将跨端实体、状态和 Socket payload 放在 @agent-tower/shared;server ESM import 保留 .js 后缀。
  • Prisma 业务状态通常存为 String,由 shared enum/union 约束;JSON string 在 Service 边界转换。schema 同步不等于历史数据迁移。
  • 实时变更同时检查 EventMap、shared Socket contract、SocketGateway 和前端重连/缓存失效;Socket 通知不能代替 REST 恢复。
  • 保留 browser、internal、Agent credential 的身份区分,以及 tunnel/access/Socket auth、CSRF、local-only 和 preview loopback 边界。
  • 同时支持 WORKTREE 与 MAIN_DIRECTORY;不要假设每个项目都是 Git 仓库或每个任务只有一个 workspace。
  • 使用根 package.json 固定的 pnpm 版本;新增带安装脚本的依赖时先审核脚本,再在 pnpm-workspace.yaml 的 allowBuilds 中明确设为 true 或 false。
  • runtime 逻辑完成、连接关闭和整棵进程树清理是不同事实;未确认清理前不释放可重用资源或宣称停止成功。
  • 列表热路径使用 preview/truncated DTO;完整 task/message 正文按需加载。

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.
