AIBAST Agents Library is a collection of industry-focused AI agent templates accompanied by a local server that connects agents to GitHub Copilot for language-model inference. It helps developers create and run tool-using agents and isolated project environments, with an optional cloud-backed path for persistent memory. The catalogue entries provide the repository's agents, skills, commands, hooks, and instructions.
Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00025 | $0.01370 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00548 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00274 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00137 |
Grade A, and why
aibast-easy-mode-copilot 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 1mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AIBAST Easy Mode — GitHub Copilot
Once this file is dragged into GitHub Copilot Chat in VS Code, run the complete Easy Mode harness directly in Copilot. This skill owns discovery, local testing, Draft deployment, Preview validation, and evidence capture.
Public source
- Repository:
microsoft/aibast-agents-library - Workshop branch:
main - Registry path:
registry.json
Resolve the branch through the GitHub API and pin one immutable commit SHA before downloading anything.
Persist the active run in .aibast/easy-mode-state.json, including solution,
revision, local test results, Copilot Studio identity, status, and
published: false. Also persist the Copilot Studio plugin repository,
installed plugin ID, resolved revision or installed version, PAC CLI version,
and verification status.
Choose from the library
When the user asks what is available, or asks for a workshop without naming
one (for example Show me the AIBAST library, then give me the workshop I pick using Easy Mode and test it for me):
- Fetch
registry.jsonfrom the pinned commit. - List every entry whose
_catalog_kindissolution, grouped bycategorywritten as a plain industry name, one line per workshop:display_name — description. Do not paste JSON or file paths. - Ask one question: which workshop they want. Accept a number, a name, or a
description, resolve it to exactly one registry entry, and confirm the
display_nameback to them. - Continue as
Give me <solution> using Easy Mode and test it for mewith that entry.
Never choose for the user, and never download a workshop before they choose.
Required local Copilot Studio plugin
Before resolving or deploying a workshop, run the repository-owned, fail-closed setup step:
python3 tools/easy_mode_preflight.py --json
Stop when it exits nonzero or reports passed: false. Record the reported
installed plugin/version and PAC CLI version in
.aibast/easy-mode-state.json.
The preflight owns plugin discovery, installation, and PAC remediation. Its explicitly reviewed CLI sequence is:
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.

aibast-easy-mode-copilot is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/aibast-agents-library (8 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 1,370 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
