Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00047 | $0.01377 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00688 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00275 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00138 |
Grade A, and why
ai-engineering-toolkit 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 11d 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.
This is a copy
95% identical to ai-engineering-toolkit — 26 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

AI Engineering Toolkit
Overview
A collection of 6 structured, expert-level workflows that turn your AI coding assistant into a senior AI engineering partner. Each skill encodes a repeatable methodology — not just "ask AI to help," but a step-by-step decision framework with quantitative scoring, checklists, and decision trees.
The key difference from ad-hoc AI assistance: every workflow produces consistent, reproducible results regardless of who runs it or when. You can use the scoring systems as team baselines and write them into CI/CD pipelines.
When to Use This Skill
- Use when evaluating or optimizing LLM system prompts before production deployment
- Use when designing a RAG pipeline and need structured architecture decisions (not just boilerplate code)
- Use when planning token budget allocation across context window zones
- Use when running pre-launch security audits on AI agents
- Use when building evaluation frameworks for LLM applications
- Use when thinking through product strategy before writing code
How It Works
Skill 1: Prompt Evaluator
Scores prompts across 8 dimensions (Clarity, Specificity, Completeness, Conciseness, Structure, Grounding, Safety, Robustness) on a 1-10 scale with weighted aggregation to a 0-100 score. Identifies the 3 weakest dimensions, generates targeted rewrites, and re-evaluates. Supports single prompt, A/B comparison, and batch evaluation modes.
Skill 2: Context Budget Planner
Analyzes token distribution across 5 context zones (System, Few-shot, User input, Retrieval, Output) and produces an optimized allocation plan. Includes a compression strategy decision tree for each zone. Common finding: output zone squeezed to under 6% — this skill catches that before truncation happens.
Skill 3: RAG Pipeline Architect
Walks through a complete architecture decision tree: document format → parsing strategy → chunking approach (fixed/semantic/recursive) → embedding model selection → retrieval method (vector/keyword/hybrid) → evaluation metrics (Faithfulness, Relevancy, Context Precision). Covers Naive RAG, Advanced RAG, and Modular RAG patterns.
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.

ai-engineering-toolkit is a skill published in the GitHub repository manu14357/zskills (16 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 1,377 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 95% identical to ai-engineering-toolkit, differing in 26 lines, and is treated as a copy.
