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.

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 | $0.00046 | $0.05559 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.02224 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.01112 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00556 |
Grade A, and why
ax-python-gen 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 yesterday.
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.
This is a copy
80% identical to ax-java-gen — 48 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AxGen Structured Generation For Python
This skill helps an agent write Python 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
- Build a structured generation program from a signature.
- Attach typed tools or MCP-derived tools to a generation call.
- Generate multiple validated structured samples and select a winner with a native callback.
- Use package examples for no-key scripted clients and provider-api calls.
Package Facts
- Language: Python.
- 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
from axllm import ax
program = ax("question:string -> answer:string")
out = program.forward(llm, {"question": "What is Ax?"})
OpenAI Decisions
The openai-decisions provider uses /v1/decisions with gpt-6-luna by default. Required boolean fields become predicates; required class fields become choices; score fields become labelled native rubrics. Use normal AxGen signatures with (evidence) to retain probabilities, provider-selected values, native confidence, and trusted provenance; use (evidence, refusal return) for an answered/refused union. See the Typesafe/Jev skill for decision evidence and reranking across both providers. trueThreshold (or true_threshold) defaults to 0.5, is finite in [0,1], and uses an inclusive comparison. Field value descriptions become criteria instructions or choice descriptions. Raw answers remain in providerMetadata.openaiDecisions.answers; usage uses existing program APIs.
Use openai_decisions for explicit provider request shapes and native JSON input. Its create operation (Go: Create) accepts input and an ordered questions array. Each question has string instructions and an optional unique string name; unnamed answers retain name: null. Predicate returns probability. Choice requires 2-255 string or boolean choices and returns choice, confidence, and probabilities. Score requires 2-10 explicitly labelled levels and returns a fractional zero-based score, confidence, and probabilities. Handle type: refusal before accessing answer values. Preserve full model, answer order, and usage.
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-python-gen is a skill published in the GitHub repository ax-llm/ax (2,967 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 5,559 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 80% identical to ax-java-gen, differing in 48 lines, and is treated as a copy.
