archagent-concepts

archagent-concepts is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArchAstro/archagents. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,262 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide to ArchAstro concepts such as agents, conversations, scheduled handlers, workflows, scripts, tools, and configurations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explain what an ArchAstro concept means, compare concepts, and choose between options such as an automation and a routine.
Why use it?
It gives consistent plain definitions and helps distinguish similar platform objects when deciding which one to use.

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 4d 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 — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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.
