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

archagent-concepts 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 2mo 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.

ArchAgents Concept Map

Every ArchAstro support conversation eventually hits a concept question. Answer it with the platform's real vocabulary, not your own paraphrase. When you are unsure, link the customer to the canonical doc (see the archagent-docs-map skill) rather than inventing a definition.

Primary nouns

AgentTemplate

A YAML file with kind: AgentTemplate that declaratively defines an agent's identity, tools, routines, and installations. Version-controlled in git. Deployed with archagent deploy agent <file>.yaml. The source of truth for what an agent is.

Agent

A deployed, persistent AI worker created from an AgentTemplate. Has a name, identity prompt, tools, knowledge, memory, and routines. Lives on the ArchAgents platform and is addressable across threads, webhooks, schedules, and API calls.

Thread

A persistent conversation where human users, system users, and agents exchange messages over time. Supports multiple participants and cross-company collaboration. Agents join threads via thread.session.join routines and leave via thread.session.leave.

Routine

An agent-scoped event handler. Attached to a specific agent; fires when a matching event (schedule.cron, webhook.*, thread.session.join, etc.) occurs. Routines are the primary way an agent reacts to the world.

Automation

A project-scoped event handler. Same event-and-handler shape as a routine, but not tied to a single agent. Use for project-wide jobs (e.g., a webhook that fans out to multiple agents).

Script

The smallest unit of custom logic. A functional, expression-oriented language (no loops, no return statement) authored in .aascript files. Used as a tool handler, a workflow node handler, or a routine handler. Authoritative syntax: archagent describe scriptdocs.

Workflow

A directed JSON graph of nodes (WorkflowGraph kind) referenced by a routine when a handler needs branching, approvals, retries, or multi-step state. Prefer a routine + single script for simple handlers; reach for a workflow only when you need structure.

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.
