agent-routing

agent-routing is a skill for Codex from atstaeff/ai-agents. It costs 24 tokens per session (408 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for choosing the smallest suitable skill or specialist agent for a user's outcome and passing work between agents with clear requirements. A handoff states the goal, context, allowed files, dependencies, and evidence expected.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route tasks such as API work, interface changes, product questions, or note maintenance to the appropriate specialist and integrate the result.
Why use it?
It reduces unnecessary work and unclear delegation by loading only relevant guidance and checking returned changes instead of trusting a successful tool call alone.

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

agent-routing 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.

What it actually says

Agent Routing

  1. Handle clear, small tasks directly. When routing helps, reuse available metadata and inspect only what is missing. Load selected skill bodies.
  2. Use the narrowest relevant expertise: second-brain for PARA, product-manager for product uncertainty and domain experts for implementation. Skills can guide the current session without switching agents.
  3. Check actual host capabilities and instructions. Delegate only when tools exist, authorization permits it and the benefit exceeds coordination cost. Otherwise apply specialist guidance in the current session.
  4. Supply a bounded goal, context pointers, acceptance criteria, allowed files and expected evidence. Avoid concurrent writers to the same file.
  5. Inspect returned changes and checks, resolve contradictions and update an existing work record when present. A successful tool call does not prove completion.

Host boundaries

  • Exported profiles do not themselves create sessions. OpenCode's available native task/subagent tools determine delegation behavior.
  • Do not promise that the user can type into a child session in every OpenCode Web release. Session visibility and interaction depend on the host UI.
  • Do not invent tool names, models, account access or background execution. Select models by available capabilities and workload, not a hardcoded obsolete price table.
  • Honor host permissions. A read-only reviewer must not become a writer merely because its Markdown describes a repair.
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
