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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00860 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00430 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00172 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00086 |
Grade A, and why
ambient-api-server 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Skill: ambient-api-server
Activates when: Working in components/ambient-api-server/ or asked about API server, REST endpoints, gRPC, OpenAPI, or plugins.
What This Skill Knows
You are working on the Ambient API Server — a Go REST + gRPC server built on the rh-trex-ai framework. It serves the Ambient Platform's resource API under /api/ambient/v1/.
Plugin System (critical)
Every resource kind is a self-contained plugin in plugins/<kind>/. The 8-file structure is mandatory:
plugins/<kind>/
plugin.go # route + gRPC registration
model.go # GORM DB struct
handler.go # HTTP handlers
service.go # business logic
dao.go # DB layer
presenter.go # model → API response
migration.go # DB schema
mock_dao.go # test mock
*_test.go # table-driven tests
Generate scaffold: go run ./scripts/generator.go --kind Foo --fields "name:string,status:string"
OpenAPI is the source of truth
openapi/openapi.yaml
→ make generate → pkg/api/openapi/ (DO NOT EDIT)
→ ambient-sdk make generate → all SDKs
Never edit pkg/api/openapi/ files — they are generated from openapi/openapi.yaml.
gRPC
- Protos:
proto/ambient/v1/ - Stubs:
pkg/api/grpc/ambient/v1/(generated) - Auth:
pkg/middleware/bearer_token_grpc.go - Watch streams: server-side streaming RPCs — emit AG-UI events to clients
- Ownership bypass: when JWT username not in context (test tokens), skip per-user ownership check

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.

ambient-api-server is a skill published in the GitHub repository ambient-code/platform (129 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 860 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
