AI Engineering Hub is a learning and project repository covering large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, AI agents, and related applications. Beginners, practitioners, and researchers use its tutorials and projects to learn AI engineering and build working systems. The catalogue entries are examples of the skills, plugins, and agent resources included with it.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

SkillSpector: 3 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 | $0.00062 | $0.02300 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00920 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00460 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00230 |
Grade A, and why
brightdata-web-mcp 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 — 242 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Bright Data Web MCP

What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

brightdata-web-mcp is a skill published in the GitHub repository patchy631/ai-engineering-hub (38,374 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 2,300 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.

Beta readers for any draft, run by simulating how a real reader experiences it, moment by moment.

project-graveyard
Scans the developer's machine for dead side projects, autopsies each one from its git history (died at the payments wall, killed by a newer project, finished but never shipped), surfaces their personal death patterns, and picks the corpse most worth resurrecting — then helps ship it. Use when the user mentions…
commit-archaeologist
Reconstructs why code exists from local git history, including the introducing commit, later changes, current authors, repeated companion files, and likely intent.
