ai-engineer

A set of instructions for building applications that use large language models, such as chatbots, search systems, and software agents. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) combines model responses with information retrieved from a data source.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or improving LLM features, RAG pipelines, vector search, model integrations, or agent systems.
Why use it?
It provides a structured way to clarify requirements, choose an architecture, and account for testing, safety, monitoring, and cost when adding AI features.

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

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 2d 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

94% identical to ai-engineer — 4 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.

name: ai-engineer description: "Build production-ready LLM applications, advanced RAG systems, and" intelligent agents. Implements vector search, multimodal AI, agent orchestration, and enterprise AI integrations. Use PROACTIVELY for LLM features, chatbots, AI agents, or AI-powered applications. metadata: model: inherit risk: unknown source: community

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

  1. Clarify use cases, constraints, and success metrics.
  2. Design the AI architecture, data flow, and model selection.
  3. Implement with monitoring, safety, and cost controls.
  4. 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.
