Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 5.1 | $0.00077 | $0.01797 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00898 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00359 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00180 |
Grade A, and why
manage-configs 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 8d 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.

ArchAstro Local Config Management
Set up and manage a local configs/ directory for editing agent configs as files, syncing with the server, and deploying changes.
This skill assumes the ArchAgent CLI is already installed and authenticated. Use the /archagents:install and /archagents:auth commands in this same plugin instead of trying to install or authenticate the CLI manually inside this skill.
What is Local Config Management?
Instead of creating and editing configs one-by-one through CLI CRUD commands, you can manage them as local files in a configs/ directory. This enables:
- Edit configs in your editor with syntax highlighting and version control
- Batch deploy all changes in dependency order
- Sync server configs down to local files
- Browser editor for visual editing of individual configs
The CLI tracks the mapping between local files and server configs in a manifest file.
Always Start with State
Every invocation must begin by understanding the current project state:
archagent auth status
ls configs/ 2>/dev/null || echo "No configs directory"
Determine:
- Does a
configs/directory already exist? - Is the user starting a new project or working with an existing one?
- Do they want to pull configs from the server or push local changes?
Routing
User wants to set up a configs directory for the first time
-
Initialize the config directory:
archagent init --enable-configsThis enables local config management and creates the configured
configs/directory if needed. It does not automatically sync remote configs; usearchagent sync configsnext when you want local files. -
Explain the layout: After init, the directory looks like:
configs/ ├── .archastro-manifest.json # Maps local files to server configs (do not edit manually) ├── agents/ # AgentTemplate configs ├── skills/ # Skill bundles ├── scripts/ # Script configs ├── workflows/ # Workflow configs └── ... # Other config kinds
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.

manage-configs is a skill published in the GitHub repository ArchAstro/archagents (5 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 1,797 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. 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 2026-08-31.
Other skills, from other repositories
taiyi-ui-design
A design-planning guide for describing how an application's user interface should look and behave. It produces a UI-DESIGN.md document covering layouts, components, interactions, accessibility, and error states.
taiyi-evolve
A workflow skill that compares the implemented code with the frozen design after development and testing. It records architecture changes and proposes updates to DESIGN.md, the document describing the intended system structure.
taiyi-diagram-c4
A code-scanning tool that builds C4 architecture documents from a repository. It separates facts observed in the code from conclusions inferred about the design and uses Mermaid diagrams as the source format.
docs
Use when documentation generally needs to catch up with a branch before pushing or merging, covering internal developer docs, external customer-facing docs, and release notes together — "update the docs", "do a docs pass before I merge", "make sure everything's documented". Prefer this when no single documentation…
tmux-lane-orchestrator
Manage one tmux agent lane from its matching ops pane, inspect live pane state and Codex logs on cold start, and produce concise manager summaries for OpenClaw and adjacent project work.
opik-optimizer
Optimize LLM prompts, tools, and agents in Opik using standardized optimizer workflows (prompt optimization, tool optimization, and parameter tuning), dataset/metric wiring, and result interpretation.
