agency-agents-roles

agency-agents-roles is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mblua/AgentsCommander. It costs 56 tokens per session (526 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for offering tested, shareable role templates before creating a specialist agent. It also describes how to use the agency-templates command-line tool and handle a missing template cache.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating specialist agents, checking available Agency Agents templates, or deciding whether to fetch a missing template cache.
Why use it?
It makes sure available role templates are offered at the required point and that descriptions come from local data rather than guesses.

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

agency-agents-roles 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 4d 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 it actually says

agency-agents-roles

Mandatory offer before creating a specialist agent

Before you create any new specialist agent (any role-defined create-agent-matrix), you MUST first offer Agency Agents role templates.

Skip the offer ONLY if, in this session, the user already declined Agency templates or explicitly asked for a custom or from-scratch role.

Say what Agency Agents is, from real data only

When you offer, briefly say what Agency Agents is, but state ONLY what real local data supports. Never invent a description or recall one from memory.

  • Agency Agents is a collection of tested, shareable role templates published in a source repository. The real source is the repo value reported by agency-templates status (and stored in the cache manifest), not a URL you guess.
  • Describe Agency Agents concretely by its source repo plus the actual templates available (their real names and 1-line descriptions from agency-templates list); there is no local one-line project description to quote.
  • If the template cache is absent (status reports it unavailable), say so and offer to fetch it. Ask before downloading or updating, because it writes to the local template cache.

On acceptance, use the CLI

Use the AgentsCommander CLI from AGENTSCOMMANDER_BINARY_PATH:

"<AGENTSCOMMANDER_BINARY_PATH>" agency-templates update --ref main
"<AGENTSCOMMANDER_BINARY_PATH>" agency-templates status --pretty
"<AGENTSCOMMANDER_BINARY_PATH>" agency-templates list --pretty

update refreshes the local cache from the source repo (--ref selects the git ref, default main). status reports whether a cache is present and its repo, ref, and commit. list prints each cached template's real id and 1-line description.

Then present the candidate template(s) and create with create-agent-matrix --role-template <id>. Use only the IDs and descriptions that command returns; never invent template IDs or descriptions.

Changes

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.
