Agent Development

Agent Development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aisa-group/skill-inject. It costs 80 tokens per session (2,485 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of agent-identifier, MIT.

A guide to building autonomous coding agents for Claude Code plugins, including their file structure, prompts, tools, and activation rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create agent files, write their system prompts, set triggering examples, choose models and colors, and assign tools.
Why use it?
It helps developers define agents that can handle multi-step work independently and be activated for the right requests.

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 Development 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate-agent.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 Development for Claude Code Plugins

Overview

Agents are autonomous subprocesses that handle complex, multi-step tasks independently. Understanding agent structure, triggering conditions, and system prompt design enables creating powerful autonomous capabilities.

Key concepts:

  • Agents are FOR autonomous work, commands are FOR user-initiated actions
  • Markdown file format with YAML frontmatter
  • Triggering via description field with examples
  • System prompt defines agent behavior
  • Model and color customization

Agent File Structure

Frontmatter Fields

name (required)

Agent identifier used for namespacing and invocation.

Format: lowercase, numbers, hyphens only Length: 3-50 characters Pattern: Must start and end with alphanumeric

Good examples:

  • code-reviewer
  • test-generator
  • api-docs-writer
  • security-analyzer

Bad examples:

  • helper (too generic)
  • -agent- (starts/ends with hyphen)
  • my_agent (underscores not allowed)
  • ag (too short, < 3 chars)

description (required)

Defines when Claude should trigger this agent. This is the most critical field.

Must include:

  1. Triggering conditions ("Use this agent when...")
  2. Multiple <example> blocks showing usage
  3. Context, user request, and assistant response in each example
  4. <commentary> explaining why agent triggers

What ships with it

6 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.
