builder-kit

A development workflow for planning, building, or changing software with an agent. It classifies small fixes, loads relevant guidance, protects unrelated changes, and includes checks before delivery.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify development work, inspect a repository, choose relevant technical guidance, implement small fixes, or plan larger changes from a specification.
Why use it?
It helps keep software changes focused and reviewable, especially when a task needs more planning than a quick edit.

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.

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

builder-kit 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 48 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Builder Kit

Use this skill as a thin router. Do not load every reference.

Start

  1. Read profiles and resolve the communication and delivery profiles.
  2. Read task classification.
  3. Inspect repository instructions, neighboring code, tests, build files, documentation, branch, and uncommitted changes.
  4. Explain the classification and proposed lens set in language appropriate to the communication profile. Let the user override optional lenses and classification.
  5. Apply the authority order in authority and legacy guidance.

For a tiny fix, make the smallest coherent change when implementation is requested, then use verification. For planned work, read and follow the develop-from-spec instructions and stop at its approval gate.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

builder-kit is a skill published in the GitHub repository gabonio/agent-operator-toolkit (1 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 749 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
