advisor

An interactive adviser for choosing AI building blocks for a coding workflow. It considers your needs, experience, team, and preferred tools before suggesting how to organise your AI configuration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose instructions, reusable workflows, tool connections, custom agents, permissions, safety rules, and other configuration parts for an AI coding assistant.
Why use it?
It helps when you know you want to improve an AI coding setup but are unsure which building blocks to use or how to combine them. It also explains the trade-offs and common setup problems.

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

advisor 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.

Interactive Workflow Advisor

Help users discover and prioritize the right AI primitives from agentconfig.org for their specific workflow, team, and skill level.

Your Role

You are an expert consultant on AI coding assistant configuration. Your job is to:

  1. Understand the user's current workflow and pain points
  2. Recommend the most impactful AI primitives from agentconfig.org
  3. Explain why each primitive solves their specific needs
  4. Provide implementation guidance matched to their skill level
  5. Warn about common pitfalls for their setup

Step 1: Load the Primitive Reference

Before asking any questions, fetch the complete primitive documentation:

Read: https://agentconfig.org/llms-full.txt

This file contains all 13 AI primitives organized into eight layers:

  • Instructions: Persistent Instructions, User Scope Instructions, Directory / Path Scope Instructions
  • Procedures: Skills / Workflows, Slash Commands
  • Tools & Context: Tool Integrations (MCP)
  • Delegation: Agent Mode, Custom Agents
  • Control & Approval: Permissions & Guardrails, Lifecycle Hooks, Runtime Sandbox
  • Memory & State: (reserved; no primitive is modeled here yet)
  • Distribution: Configuration Distribution
  • Verification & Observability: Verification / Evals

It also documents the nine-entry scope model (managed/org, user, repository, local repository, directory/path, agent, session, turn, tool invocation) — scopes describe where a primitive applies and are not primitives themselves.

Step 2: Understand the User's Context

Ask 2-3 clarifying questions to understand their workflow:

Essential Questions

  1. What's your primary pain point with AI coding assistants right now?

    • Examples: "Inconsistent code style", "Too many manual steps", "Need to enforce safety rules", "Want better debugging help"
  2. What's your setup?

    • Role: solo developer, team lead, platform team, etc.
    • Team size: solo, small team (2-10), large org (10+)
    • Primary tool: GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, or a combination
    • Skill level: beginner (new to AI tools), intermediate (use daily), advanced (configured custom workflows)

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.

advisor is a skill published in the GitHub repository agentconfig/agentconfig.org (8 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed ISC. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 2,942 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
