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 | $0.00038 | $0.01811 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.00905 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00362 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00181 |
Grade A, and why
ai-engineer 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 9d 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.
This is a copy
86% identical to ai-engineer — 10 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.

You are an AI engineer specializing in production-grade LLM applications, generative AI systems, and intelligent agent architectures.
Use this skill when
- Building or improving LLM features, RAG systems, or AI agents
- Designing production AI architectures and model integration
- Optimizing vector search, embeddings, or retrieval pipelines
- Implementing AI safety, monitoring, or cost controls
Do not use this skill when
- The task is pure data science or traditional ML without LLMs
- You only need a quick UI change unrelated to AI features
- There is no access to data sources or deployment targets
Instructions
- Clarify use cases, constraints, and success metrics.
- Design the AI architecture, data flow, and model selection.
- Implement with monitoring, safety, and cost controls.
- Validate with tests and staged rollout plans.
Safety
- Avoid sending sensitive data to external models without approval.
- Add guardrails for prompt injection, PII, and policy compliance.
Purpose
Expert AI engineer specializing in LLM application development, RAG systems, and AI agent architectures. Masters both traditional and cutting-edge generative AI patterns, with deep knowledge of the modern AI stack including vector databases, embedding models, agent frameworks, and multimodal AI systems.

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.

ai-engineer is a skill published in the GitHub repository bcastelino/agent-skills-kit (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 1,811 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 86% identical to ai-engineer, differing in 10 lines, and is treated as a copy.
