install-madagents

install-madagents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MadGraphTeam/MadAgents. It costs 84 tokens per session (2,187 once invoked), scanned D, original, MIT.

An installer for MadAgents, a setup where an orchestrator coordinates coding agents such as workers and reviewers.

In plain words
What is it for?
It installs the default MadAgents configuration, checks the generated files, and directs users to an update command when MadAgents is already installed.
Why use it?
It adds the required agent files and configuration to a repository so the setup can run directly in that repository with Claude Code or Codex.

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 D, and why

install-madagents scanned grade D with 2 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 3d 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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

|| grep -qs 'MadAgents:begin' "$TARGET/.claude/CLAUDE.md" "$TARGET/AGENTS.md"

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Install MadAgents

Install the default-mode MadAgents configuration into a target directory so the user can run it there as a normal coding-agent session — the agent works in the repo's cwd, no container. You (the installer) run as a coding agent (Claude Code or Codex) and can install MadAgents for either provider:

  • claude_code.claude/ (agents .md, CLAUDE.md, orchestrator via --append-system-prompt)
  • codexAGENTS.md + .codex/agents/*.toml + .codex/config.toml

Both assemble from the same neutral schema (install/data/madagents/) via a per-provider adapter, so the two installs are content-equivalent. This is an agent-driven install: follow the procedure precisely, adapt where the repo requires it, and confirm choices with the user.

Reference: each adapter's render.sh (install/data/madagents/adapters/<provider>/render.sh) is the canonical renderer; examples/build_example.sh <provider> is a runnable end-to-end install; examples/verify_install.sh checks any finished install (step 8); the committed examples/expected/<provider>/ is the golden reference to review against (step 7).

Target layouts

claude_code:                          codex:
<target>/                             <target>/
  .claude/CLAUDE.md  rules/* agents/*   AGENTS.md
  .madagents/                           .codex/agents/*.toml  config.toml
    madgraph_docs/ system-prompt-…       .madagents/madgraph_docs/ install.json
    install.json                         start_madagents.sh
  start_madagents.sh

MadAgents content lives in a <!-- MadAgents:begin/end --> block inside CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md.

Procedure

1. Gather input + detect an existing install

  • Target directory (absolute path). Offer to create it if missing.
  • Provider: ask claude_code or codex (which coding agent will run MadAgents there).
  • Check for an existing install:
    test -f "$TARGET/.madagents/install.json" || test -d "$TARGET/.madagents" \
      || grep -qs 'MadAgents:begin' "$TARGET/.claude/CLAUDE.md" "$TARGET/AGENTS.md"
    
    If any is true, stop and refer to update: report the installed version (from install.json) and tell the user to run /update-madagents. Do not overwrite.

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.

install-madagents is a skill published in the GitHub repository MadGraphTeam/MadAgents (10 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 84 tokens to every session and 2,187 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 2 findings (reads agent configuration directories, recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
