agent-engineering

agent-engineering is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from J-StaR-Films-Studios/VibeCode-Protocol-Suite. It costs 96 tokens per session (1,031 once invoked), scanned A, original, ISC.

A collection of methods for designing prompts, skills, expert systems, agent documentation, domain vocabulary, and specifications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compile sources into skills, design rule-based expert systems, write agent-facing documents, model domain terms, and create specifications.
Why use it?
It provides structured ways to turn source material, conversations, and domain knowledge into instructions agents can use.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.

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

agent-engineering 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (skill-creator/scripts/init_skill.py, skill-creator/scripts/package_skill.py, skill-creator/scripts/quick_validate.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 38 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent Engineering Suite

Comprehensive suite for prompt engineering, agent steering rules, domain dictionaries (CONTEXT.md), task decomposition DAGs, and subagent orchestration.

[!IMPORTANT] Foundational Guide: When authoring or editing any skill, AGENTS.md, or subagent prompt, read writing-for-agents/SKILL.md and writing-for-agents/SKILL-MECHANICS.md first to ensure tight context pointers and zero token waste.

What ships with it

55 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.

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.

agent-engineering is a skill published in the GitHub repository J-StaR-Films-Studios/VibeCode-Protocol-Suite (24 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed ISC. It adds 96 tokens to every session and 1,031 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.
