Ax is a TypeScript-first programming framework for building applications with large language models through typed generation, agents, workflows, and optimization tools. It is intended for developers who want one model for LLM programs across TypeScript, Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust, and other runtimes.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00037 | $0.02281 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00912 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00456 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00228 |
Grade A, and why
ax-cpp-signature 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 today.
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.
Ax Signatures For C++
This skill helps an agent write C++ code with the generated Ax package axllm. Use the generated package API, examples, and manifests; do not import TypeScript-only APIs unless you are editing the TypeScript package.
When To Use
- Declare input and output contracts with native generated-package APIs.
- Generate JSON-schema-compatible shapes for outputs, tools, prompts, and validation.
- Keep Standard Schema and TypeScript-only helper libraries out of generated-language code.
Package Facts
- Language: C++.
- Package:
axllm. - Package API docs:
API.mdandaxir-api.json. - Capability manifest:
axir-capabilities.json. - Runnable examples:
examples/. - Real network support: yes.
- Scripted no-key transport support: yes.
- Runtime profiles:
javascript-quickjs,python-pyodide.
Core Pattern
#include "axllm/axllm.hpp"
auto sig = axllm::s("question:string -> answer:string");
auto schema = axllm::to_json_schema(axllm::Core::get(sig, "outputs"));
More Patterns
Simple string contract
Use the string form when field names and types are enough.
auto program = axllm::ax("questionText:string -> answerText:string");
Bounded class output
A class field constrains the model to a known label set.
auto router = axllm::ax(
"messageText:string -> routeClass:class \"support, sales, engineering\"");
Native constraints
C++ exposes the generated record surface for constrained fields.
auto party_type = axllm::Core::record_new(
"FieldType",
axllm::object({
{"name", "number"},
{"minimum", 1},
{"maximum", 12},
}));
Validate and render
Validate the native record, then render its output fields as JSON schema.
axllm::Core::validate_signature(signature);
auto schema = axllm::to_json_schema(
axllm::Core::get(signature, "outputs"),
"outputs");
Reuse the signature
Pass the native signature record directly into AxGen.
axllm::AxGen program = axllm::ax(signature);
auto output = program.forward(client, inputs);
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.

ax-cpp-signature is a skill published in the GitHub repository ax-llm/ax (2,969 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 2,281 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
