ai-agent-development

ai-agent-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from manu14357/zskills. It costs 32 tokens per session (936 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of ai-agent-development, MIT.

A development workflow for building AI agents, systems with multiple cooperating agents, and the connections between agents and external tools. It covers frameworks such as CrewAI and LangGraph as well as custom implementations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan autonomous agents, multi-agent systems, orchestration, tool integrations, memory, and human review steps.
Why use it?
Agent projects can become difficult to design when responsibilities, tools, memory, and success measures are not planned together. This workflow provides stages for designing, implementing, integrating, and testing them.

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 10d 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.

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.
