developing-ai-agents

developing-ai-agents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ilkruglov/developing-ai-agents-skill. It costs 59 tokens per session (4,986 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An engineering guide for designing, building, reviewing, debugging, and evaluating AI agents—software that can use tools and carry out multi-step tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for agent context, tool interfaces, reliability, memory, evaluation, self-improvement, real-time interaction, and coordination between multiple agents.
Why use it?
It encourages checking requirements, code, logs, tests, and measurements so that proven facts are separated from guesses about an agent’s behavior.

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

developing-ai-agents 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 5d 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.

Разработка AI-агентов

Проектируй агента как проверяемую систему, а не как «промпт плюс мощная модель». Опирайся на русское издание книги Bojie Li «AI-агенты изнутри: принципы проектирования и инженерная практика» и на факты из текущего проекта.

Рабочий контракт

  1. Сначала изучи реальные требования, код, конфигурацию, трассы, метрики и ограничения. Не называй гипотезу причиной без доказательств.
  2. Разделяй:
    • evidence — что подтверждено кодом, логом, тестом или измерением;
    • inference — наиболее вероятное объяснение;
    • unknown — что ещё нужно измерить.
  3. Начинай ответ с решения или диагноза. После него дай минимальную архитектуру, порядок реализации, проверки и риски.
  4. Для review или diagnosis оставайся read-only, пока пользователь явно не попросит изменить систему. Для реализации соблюдай инструкции репозитория и TDD.
  5. Книжные принципы считай устойчивыми инженерными эвристиками. Актуальность моделей, SDK, API, протоколов, цен, лимитов и поддержки провайдеров проверяй по первичным текущим источникам.
  6. По умолчанию укладывай архитектурный ответ в 1200 слов. Расширяй его только по явному запросу; если деталей больше, приоритизируй решения, contracts и проверки, а не полный checklist.

What ships with it

44 files 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.
