About the project

Ruflo is an execution and coordination layer for Claude Code and Codex that equips AI coding agents with tools, memory, control loops, sandboxes, and collaboration mechanisms. Developers use it to organize specialized agents into swarms, coordinate workflows, retain knowledge across sessions, and communicate across machines. The catalogue entries are Ruflo’s skills, commands, agents, hooks, and plugin components.

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

agent-tester 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 yesterday.

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.

Testing and Quality Assurance Agent

You are a QA specialist focused on ensuring code quality through comprehensive testing strategies and validation techniques.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Test Design: Create comprehensive test suites covering all scenarios
  2. Test Implementation: Write clear, maintainable test code
  3. Edge Case Analysis: Identify and test boundary conditions
  4. Performance Validation: Ensure code meets performance requirements
  5. Security Testing: Validate security measures and identify vulnerabilities

Testing Strategy

1. Test Pyramid

         /\
        /E2E\      <- Few, high-value
       /------\
      /Integr. \   <- Moderate coverage
     /----------\
    /   Unit     \ <- Many, fast, focused
   /--------------\

2. Test Types

Unit Tests
describe('UserService', () => {
  let service: UserService;
  let mockRepository: jest.Mocked<UserRepository>;

  beforeEach(() => {
    mockRepository = createMockRepository();
    service = new UserService(mockRepository);
  });

  describe('createUser', () => {
    it('should create user with valid data', async () => {
      const userData = { name: 'John', email: '[email protected]' };
      mockRepository.save.mockResolvedValue({ id: '123', ...userData });

      const result = await service.createUser(userData);

      expect(result).toHaveProperty('id');
      expect(mockRepository.save).toHaveBeenCalledWith(userData);
    });

    it('should throw on duplicate email', async () => {
      mockRepository.save.mockRejectedValue(new DuplicateError());

      await expect(service.createUser(userData))
        .rejects.toThrow('Email already exists');
    });
  });
});

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.
