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 | $0.00051 | $0.00496 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00248 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00099 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00050 |
Grade A, and why
ax-go-agent-optimize 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.

What it actually says
AxAgent Optimize For Go
This skill helps an agent write Go code with the generated Ax package github.com/ax-llm/ax/packages/go. Use the generated package API, examples, and manifests; do not import TypeScript-only APIs unless you are editing the TypeScript package.
When To Use
- Optimize an AxAgent or reusable program component.
- Mine grounded weaknesses from failed agent tasks and keep only playbook proposals that pass the verification gate.
- Create evaluator callbacks and persist optimizer artifacts.
- Keep optimization runs bounded by explicit budgets and dataset rows.
Package Facts
- Language: Go.
- Package:
github.com/ax-llm/ax/packages/go. - 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-goja.
Core Pattern
engine := ax.NewGEPA(reflectionClient, nil)
result := engine.Optimize(request, evaluator)
Relevant API Surface
- Agents And RLM:
axllm.NewAgent,axllm.AxAgent,AxAgent.AddChildAgent - Optimizers:
axllm.Optimize,axllm.Playbook,axllm.AxPlaybook,axllm.AxBootstrapFewShot,axllm.AxGEPA,axllm.OptimizerEngine,axllm.OptimizerEvaluator
Guardrails
- Start from package examples for exact native syntax before inventing a new call shape.
- Use
provider-apiexamples only when the user explicitly has provider credentials available. - Use
no-keyexamples for deterministic local checks and provider request mapping. - Treat AxIR as the source of generated package truth: if package docs disagree with source code, update the compiler and regenerate packages.
- Do not copy repo-maintainer skills from
tools/*/skills/into user packages.
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-go-agent-optimize is a skill published in the GitHub repository ax-llm/ax (2,893 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 496 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
