agentic-coding

agentic-coding is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AntheaLaffy/the-missing-semester-skills. It costs 114 tokens per session (1,085 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A guide to using a coding agent, an AI assistant that works with software projects, for common development tasks. It covers implementation, bug fixing, refactoring, code review, code understanding, shell work, and less structured experimentation, along with the agent's limits and privacy concerns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when asking a coding agent to implement, fix, refactor, review, or explain code.
Why use it?
It explains how to give the agent instructions and feedback while accounting for mistakes, limitations, and sensitive data.

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

agentic-coding 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 9d 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.

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.

Use when auditing a diff or repository against the plumb-line principles — finds laundered uncertainty, boundary leaks, hardcoded priors, overstated maturity, outputs lacking recorded lineage, and baseline drift with no explanation. Read-only: it reports, never auto-fixes.

plumb-line-bootstrap

Use when setting up a project with the plumb-line discipline — interviews the builder to find their source-truth layer and layering, generates a domain-neutral ruleset, and installs parameterized enforcement (boundary check, test gate, pre-commit gate, branch guard) for the project's language. Ships no default layers…

Use when a builder wonders what plumb-line would do for their codebase or which part to adopt — or when, mid-task, their work shows a fit signal (adding a mock or fallback near a production path, mixing fixture, cached, or LLM/agent-produced data with real data) and visible uncertainty would help.
