ai-agent-development

ai-agent-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jnPiyush/AgentX. It costs 59 tokens per session (3,033 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to building AI agents with Microsoft Foundry and Agent Framework. It covers choosing models, coordinating one or more agents, monitoring them, deploying them, and evaluating their results.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build and deploy AI agents, select models, create multi-step or multi-agent workflows, add human approval or streaming, and measure agent quality.
Why use it?
It helps turn an agent idea into a production design with suitable orchestration, tracing, and quality checks. It also explains when a simple agent or a multi-agent workflow fits the task.

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-agent-development 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 15d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (scripts/check-model-drift.ps1, scripts/run-model-comparison.py, scripts/scaffold-agent.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.

AI Agent Development

Purpose: Build production-ready AI agents with Microsoft Foundry and Agent Framework. Scope: Agent architecture, model selection, orchestration, observability, evaluation.


When to Use This Skill

  • Building AI agents with Microsoft Foundry or Agent Framework
  • Selecting LLM models for agent scenarios
  • Implementing multi-agent orchestration workflows
  • Adding tracing and observability to AI agents
  • Evaluating agent quality and response accuracy

Decision Tree

Need an AI agent?
+-- Simple request-response? -> Single agent with tools
+-- Multi-step reasoning? -> Reasoning model (tuned effort) + planner
+-- Multiple specialized domains? -> Multi-agent orchestration
+-- Human approval needed? -> Human-in-the-loop workflow
+-- High reliability required? -> Reflection + self-correction loop
+-- Real-time streaming? -> Async event-driven agent

Prerequisites

  • A runtime version supported by the target repository
  • A current stable Agent Framework SDK version verified against official docs
  • Microsoft Foundry workspace with deployed model

Quick Start

Installation

Resolve current SDK package names and stable versions from the official Agent Framework documentation at implementation time. Pin the selected package version in the target repository lock file. Do not copy preview flags or version numbers from this skill into production setup.

Model Selection

Select a Capability Class before selecting a concrete provider model:

Capability Class Use When Required Evidence
Fast Classification, extraction, or short tool turns Meets latency and minimum quality thresholds
Balanced General agent work with moderate reasoning Best quality/cost result on the representative eval set
Deep reasoning Architecture, hard debugging, or complex planning Material measured gain over Balanced justifies latency and cost
Coding agent Long-running repository edits and test loops Tool accuracy, patch quality, and completion rate meet thresholds
Multimodal Screenshots, diagrams, audio, or video are required inputs Target modalities and formats are verified in the active host

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.
