autonomous-agent-patterns is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sagebynature/team-nexus. It costs 51 tokens per session (4,880 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A collection of design patterns for autonomous coding agents: programs that can plan and act with limited supervision.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building coding agents, tool APIs, permission systems, browser automation, or human-in-the-loop workflows.
Why use it?
It helps address the risks of connecting agents to tools, browsers, permissions, and human approval steps.

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 C, and why

autonomous-agent-patterns scanned grade C with 3 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.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

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.
