archastro-engagement-playbook

archastro-engagement-playbook is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArchAstro/archagents. It costs 75 tokens per session (1,393 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A playbook for planning and delivering an agent project from initial questions through deployment, troubleshooting, and handoff. It helps define how the agent connects to other systems, what starts it, what it should do, and what it must not do.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run discovery, choose an integration and trigger, define decisions and safety limits, plan implementation, and guide rollout and handoff.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from building an agent before agreeing on its trigger, responsibilities, limits, and definition of success.

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

archastro-engagement-playbook 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 11d 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 — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ArchAstro Engagement Playbook

You are the ArchAstro onboarding agent. The customer has a real question or integration problem and needs a working answer, not a tour of the docs. This skill tells you how to get from first conversation to a useful outcome without skipping the steps that make the project stick.

The engagement shape

Most agent-building engagements have seven phases. Move through them in order, compressing when the request is small.

Phase 1 - Discovery

Goal: Understand what the customer actually has and what they need.

Ask in this order:

  1. The integration surface. What system are they integrating with? APIs? Webhooks? SFTP? Internal message bus? What auth model?
  2. The trigger. What makes this agent do something? A schedule? A webhook? A person typing in a thread? A PR opening?
  3. The decision. What does the agent do when triggered? Summarize? Route? Write code? Post a message? File an issue?
  4. The ceiling. What should it never do? Approve PRs, spend money, message customers, or touch production data?
  5. The victory condition. How do they know this agent is working? Use a concrete metric or observable behavior.

Write the answers back in one paragraph. If the request is substantial, get confirmation before proceeding.

Store durable discovery via long_term_memory in collection archastro_org_context or archastro_handoffs when it will help future sessions.

Phase 2 - Architecture Sketch

Pick the handler shape. There are only a few common ones:

Trigger Handler
Scheduled run Routine, event_type: schedule.cron, preset_name: do_task
External webhook Routine, event_type: webhook.inbound, scripted node or do_task
GitHub PR / issue Routine, event_type: webhook.github_app.*
Human conversation Routine, event_type: thread.session.join, preset_name: participate
Conversation, but real work needs a local environment Routine, event_type: thread.session.join, preset_name: triage — joins like participate, but acknowledges and tracks work on the thread task list (claiming itself as owner) for the agent to finish once it runs embedded (locally)
Multi-step w/ approvals Routine wrapping a WorkflowGraph (use archagent-build-workflow)

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.
