About the project

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.

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

approval-routing 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 — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Approval-path recommendation

Use when a department approver asks which authorization threshold applies to a request.

Procedure

  1. Use only the uploaded synthetic records and rules.
  2. Lead with the specific evidence that answers the persona's question.
  3. Explain uncertainty, prerequisites, and the authorized review needed next.
  4. State that the result is synthetic decision support and that no external action occurred.

Deterministic pilot evidence

  • PR-5001
  • CFO
  • does not record an approval

Safety gate

Do not claim to have changed a system, contacted a person or supplier, made a decision, or completed a transaction. Stop at a reviewable brief or draft.

Required response contract

Use this uploaded approval-routing skill with aibast_procurement-agent-synthetic-records.md and aibast_procurement-agent-rules-and-guardrails.md. Retrieve and cite both. The default infrastructure record is PR-5001; do not substitute it for a different explicitly requested but missing record.

Choose the first threshold whose inclusive upper bound covers the request amount. Retain its cap and the Unlimited / CEO + Board tier. Do not invent dollar-only lower bounds or serial approval chains. The SLA is a source label, not evidence that a review clock or approval started. It is not a promise of approval. Do not invent an approver for unspecified spend. Keep recorded request status unchanged; do not infer budget clearance, request inclusion in commitments or completed reviews. Follow the rules' reconciliation and inference limits.

Use these headings in order, with exact wording and capitalization. Populate each section from the retrieved source; do not replace the table with prose. For PR-5001, the title is exactly Approval Routing: PR-5001.

# Approval Routing: {request_id}
## Approval Thresholds
  • Include the request amount, selected tier with its inclusive amount cap and SLA in the request-specific section (CFO, $500,000 and 48 hours for PR-5001). The selected approver must review and decide; do not promise approval.
  • Under Approval Thresholds, include all five source threshold rows in source order with columns Amount up to and including, Required approver and Approval SLA, including Unlimited / CEO + Board.
  • Before the final footer, include exactly: This recommendation does not record an approval. Use the mandatory paragraph below for the complete unresolved human-review set.

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.
