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 | $0.00040 | $0.04868 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.02434 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00974 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00487 |
Grade A, and why
agent-builder 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 2d 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.

Agent Builder - Claude Code Subagent Expert
Use this skill when creating, improving, or troubleshooting Claude Code subagents. Provides expert guidance on agent design, system prompt engineering, tool configuration, and delegation patterns.
When to Use This Skill
Activate this skill when:
- User asks to create a new subagent
- User wants to improve an existing agent
- User needs help with agent configuration or tool access
- User is troubleshooting agent invocation issues
- User wants to understand when to use agents vs skills vs commands
- User asks about agent chaining or delegation patterns

- Agent role and expertise
- Problem-solving approach
- Output format expectations
- Specific constraints or requirements
File Locations
Project agents (shared with team, highest priority):

Personal agents (individual use, lower priority):
~/.claude/agents/my-agent.md
Plugin agents (from installed plugins):

Creating Effective Subagents
Step 1: Identify the Use Case
Good candidates for subagents:
- Complex, multi-step workflows
- Specialized expertise (debugging, security review, data analysis)
- Tasks requiring focused context
- Repeatable processes with specific quality bars
- Code review and analysis workflows
NOT good for subagents (use Skills/Commands instead):
- Simple one-off prompts (use Slash Commands)
- Context-aware automatic activation (use Skills)
- Quick transformations or formatting
Step 2: Design Agent Scope
Best practices:
- Single responsibility - Each agent does ONE thing exceptionally well
- Clear boundaries - Define what's in/out of scope
- Specific expertise - Don't create "general helper" agents
- Measurable outcomes - Agent should produce concrete deliverables

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.

agent-builder is a skill published in the GitHub repository pr-pm/prpm (120 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 4,868 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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.
