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
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 | $0.00016 | $0.00170 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00068 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00034 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00017 |
Grade A, and why
vendor-watch 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 21d 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
Vendor certificate watch
Use when someone asks which vendor certificates have expired or expire soon.
Procedure
- Use only the uploaded synthetic records and rules.
- Lead with the specific evidence that answers the persona's question.
- Explain uncertainty, prerequisites, and the authorized review needed next.
- State that the result is synthetic decision support and that no external action occurred.

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.
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.

vendor-watch is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/aibast-agents-library (8 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 170 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 2026-10-09.
Other skills, from other repositories
vendor-review
Evaluate a vendor — cost analysis, risk assessment, and recommendation. Use when reviewing a new vendor proposal, deciding whether to renew or replace a contract, comparing two vendors side-by-side, or building a TCO breakdown and negotiation points before procurement sign-off.
entity-compliance
Entity compliance tracker — initialize, report upcoming deadlines, update status, run health audit, export to CSV. Maintains a compliance-tracker.yaml built from the entity table, calculates filing deadlines by entity and jurisdiction, and surfaces what's due in the next 30/60/90 days. Use when user says "entity…
portfolio
Track the IP portfolio — registrations, renewals, maintenance fees, and use declarations. Use when checking what's renewing, adding or updating an asset, recording a maintenance filing, or auditing the register for gaps, lapses, and use-in-commerce questions. Receives handoffs from prosecution and clearance work.
launch-review
Full launch review against your framework and risk calibration. Use when the user says "review this launch", "legal review for [feature]", "can we ship this", "what are the legal issues with [product]", or references a launch tracker ticket or PRD that needs a category-by-category review memo.
gap-surfacer
Reference: shared gap- and comment-tracker framework backing /regulatory-legal:gaps and /regulatory-legal:comments. Tracks open policy gaps with remediation status, ingests gaps from policy-diff, surfaces what's open and aging, routes to owners, and notifies gap owners via Slack with per-send confirmation.

client-intake
Structured intake — practice-area templates, cross-area issue spotting, conflict flags, and triage classification. Produces a formatted case summary the student analyzes and the professor reviews. Does NOT decide case acceptance. Use when starting a new client intake, running an intake interview, or writing up a new…
