pb-build-pack

pb-build-pack is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from agentproto/ts. It costs 60 tokens per session (983 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A procedure for packaging company, agency, or knowledge content into an agent pack and importing it into an agentproto guild. A pack is a folder with structured files that describe reusable capabilities or information.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating a pack, filling in its content, validating it, importing it through a registry, repository, or MCP tools, and confirming the import.
Why use it?
It provides a defined folder format and validation step before the pack is imported, reducing errors during distribution.

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

pb-build-pack 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 — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

pb-build-pack — author and import an agent PACK

Goal

Package capabilities as an agent pack (one folder, one root marker), validate it, then import it through the right surface — registry, BYO repo, or MCP tools — and confirm with a re-sync.

Prerequisites (reference by name): ap-tasks if you track the work on the board; the pack machinery itself lives in this repo, not the daemon.

Steps

1. Read the committed SOP first

Read projects/guilde/docs/PACK-SOP.md before anything else. It is the authoritative authoring SOP — folder layout, marker semantics, what each doctype handler consumes. This playbook sequences the work; the SOP defines the artifacts.

2. Scaffold with the authoring CLI

pnpm --filter @guilde/api run pack init <kind> <slug>

kind is one of company | agency | knowledge — the ROOT MARKER file decides the doctype: COMPANY.md, AGENCY.md, or KNOWLEDGE.md. Never use bare pnpm pack — that is a reserved pnpm builtin, not this CLI.

3. Validate BEFORE importing

pack validate <dir>

Scaffolds pass validate out of the box; fill in your content and re-run until it passes. Validation is the gate between authoring and import.

4. Import through the right surface

  • House/external registry: add the source to PACK_REGISTRY (apps/api/src/config/pack-registry.ts) keyed by kind — external repos of any kind register like the house companies.
  • BYO repo onto an EXISTING guild: connect_pack_repo (vaults the PAT; repo becomes a resolvable source for that guild).
  • New guild from a repo: apply_company_from_repo({repo, kind, ...}).
  • New guild from a registry source: apply_company({sourceId, entryId}).
  • Existing guild, one operator or corpus: install_operator / apply_corpus.

Underneath, every import path is ONE ingress primitive:

applyPackageToScope({ scopeId, userId, pkg, includeHandlers?, installMode? })

installMode: append (default, multi-instance) | skip-existing | upsert-by-slug (re-sync). includeHandlers filters which doctype handlers materialize. All three call-sites (guild-create, corpus-apply, operator-install) route through 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.
