aithy: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/ax-ai/SKILL.md

ax-ai is a skill for Claude Code from dosco/aithy. It costs 98 tokens per session (8,132 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A coding guide for connecting applications to AI providers through the @ax-llm/ax library. It covers provider setup, model choices, embeddings, audio transcription and speech, extended thinking, and context caching.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Azure OpenAI, DeepSeek, Mistral, Cohere, or compatible custom endpoints.
Why use it?
It helps avoid incorrect provider configuration when an application needs text, audio, embeddings, or provider-specific model settings.

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

ax-ai 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.

AI Provider Codegen Rules (@ax-llm/ax)

Use this skill to generate AI provider setup, configuration, and chat code. Prefer short, modern, copyable patterns. Do not write tutorial prose unless the user explicitly asks for explanation.

Quick Setup

import { ai } from '@ax-llm/ax';

const openai = ai({ name: 'openai', apiKey: 'sk-...' });
const claude = ai({ name: 'anthropic', apiKey: 'sk-ant-...' });
const gemini = ai({ name: 'google-gemini', apiKey: 'AIza...' });
const azure = ai({ name: 'azure-openai', apiKey: 'your-key', resourceName: 'your-resource', deploymentName: 'gpt-5-4-mini' });
const deepseek = ai({ name: 'deepseek', apiKey: 'sk-...' });
const mistral = ai({ name: 'mistral', apiKey: 'your-key' });
const cohere = ai({ name: 'cohere', apiKey: 'your-key' });
const custom = ai({
  name: 'openai-compatible',
  apiKey: process.env.PROVIDER_API_KEY,
  apiURL: 'https://example.com/v1',
  config: { model: 'provider/model-name' },
});
const reka = ai({ name: 'reka', apiKey: 'your-key' });
const grok = ai({ name: 'grok', apiKey: 'your-key' });

name selects a deployment profile; config.model selects a model inside that deployment. Never infer provider behavior from a model ID. For example, name: 'together' with a deepseek-ai/... model uses Together's profile rules, not DeepSeek's native request shape.

Use axAIProfiles() to discover the complete named catalog and axGetAIProfile(name) to inspect endpoint requirements, authentication, operations, capabilities, model rules, sources, and review dates. Use name: 'openai-compatible' plus apiURL for an unlisted custom endpoint; unknown names are errors.

Profile-only branded classes were removed in the major-version migration. Use ai({ name: ... }) for Azure OpenAI, Cohere, DeepSeek, DeepSeek Responses, Mistral, Reka, and Grok. Retained low-level classes represent genuine transports/runtimes only; legacy model enum and catalog exports remain usable.

Renewable Credentials

Use credentialProvider for expiring bearer tokens. The callback runs for each request attempt and receives { profile, operation, method, url }. Fresh headers override static authentication headers.

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-ai is a skill published in the GitHub repository dosco/aithy (107 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 98 tokens to every session and 8,132 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
