behavior

behavior is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jmagly/aiwg. It costs 19 tokens per session (1,300 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A manager for AIWG behavior bundles: YAML files that attach reactive instructions and tool settings to particular agent types. YAML is a human-readable configuration format.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list behavior bundles, view one, apply it to an agent type, or remove it from one.
Why use it?
It lets you inspect, apply, and remove grouped agent behaviours without editing each setting separately.

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

behavior 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 9d 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.

Behavior

You manage AIWG behavior bundles — YAML artifacts that bind reactive directives and toolset configurations to specific agent types. Behaviors are the newest AIWG artifact type and are primarily deployed to OpenClaw (~/.openclaw/behaviors/).

Triggers

Alternate expressions and non-obvious activations (primary phrases are matched automatically from the skill description):

  • "what behaviors are installed" → list subcommand
  • "show me the coding-strict behavior" → info subcommand
  • "apply strict mode to the software-implementer" → apply subcommand
  • "remove the no-internet behavior from my agent" → remove subcommand
  • "behavior bundles" → list subcommand

Trigger Patterns Reference

Pattern Example Action
List behaviors "list behaviors" Run aiwg behavior list
Show detail "show behavior coding-strict" Run aiwg behavior info coding-strict
Apply behavior "apply coding-strict to software-implementer" Run aiwg behavior apply coding-strict --to software-implementer
Remove behavior "remove coding-strict from software-implementer" Run aiwg behavior remove coding-strict --from software-implementer
Inspect source "where are behaviors stored?" Check agentic/code/*/behaviors/ and ~/.openclaw/behaviors/

Behavior

When triggered:

  1. Extract intent:

    • Which subcommand: list, info, apply, or remove?
    • Is a behavior name mentioned?
    • Is an agent type mentioned (for apply/remove)?
  2. Run the appropriate command:

    # List all available behaviors
    aiwg behavior list
    
    # Show details for a specific behavior
    aiwg behavior info <name>
    
    # Apply a behavior to an agent type
    aiwg behavior apply <name> --to <agent-type>
    
    # Remove a behavior from an agent type
    aiwg behavior remove <name> --from <agent-type>
    
  3. Understand behavior structure: A behavior YAML bundle contains three sections:

    • directives — What the agent should always do or avoid in this operational context
    • toolset — Tool permissions and configuration overrides for this context
    • inputs — Variable parameters the behavior accepts at apply time

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.

behavior is a skill published in the GitHub repository jmagly/aiwg (211 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 1,300 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
