ai-engineer

ai-engineer is a skill for Claude Code from iradoweck/antigravity-awesome-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,888 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ai-engineer, MIT.

A guide for building applications that use large language models (LLMs), systems that generate and understand text, images, or other content. It covers retrieval from your data, AI agents, and connecting models to business systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design and build LLM features, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems that answer from stored information, and AI agents that perform tasks. It also supports model selection, safety checks, monitoring, and staged releases.
Why use it?
It helps turn an AI demo into a service that can be tested, monitored, kept safe, and managed for cost. It also helps avoid exposing sensitive information to outside models.

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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 191 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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

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.
