ai-agent-patterns

ai-agent-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from FerroxLabs/wayland. It costs 85 tokens per session (10,164 once invoked), scanned B, original, AGPL-3.0.

A guide to common ways of designing AI agents, including architecture choices, implementation patterns, and reusable workflow templates. AI agents are software systems that can decide which steps to take to complete a task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan agent workflows, make architecture decisions, and apply established patterns when building AI software.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose a suitable structure for an agent instead of designing every workflow from scratch. It also provides a way to compare technical approaches for AI projects.

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 B, and why

ai-agent-patterns scanned grade B with 2 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 4d 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.

Instruction-override phrasingmediumPrompt injection

Text telling the model to disregard its earlier instructions or safety rules is the shape of a prompt injection, whoever wrote it.

Malicious content in tool outputs (e.g., a web page containing "Ignore previous instructions and...") attempts to hijack the agent's behavior. This is a critical security concern for any agent that processes external con

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

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-agent-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository FerroxLabs/wayland (601 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed AGPL-3.0. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 10,164 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (instruction-override phrasing, asks the agent to reveal its instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
