ai-agent-development

ai-agent-development is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. It costs 32 tokens per session (963 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for building AI agents, including single agents, groups of agents, and systems that coordinate their work. It covers connecting tools, adding memory, and keeping a person involved when needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan agent architecture, choose an implementation approach, connect tools, add memory, and test agent behaviour. It also helps organise multi-agent systems and human review steps.
Why use it?
Building agent systems involves many design and implementation decisions. This workflow gives those steps a clear order instead of requiring you to assemble them from scratch.

About the project

AAS Core is a local control plane for coding agents that lets them search a large catalogue of skills, choose a stack, validate it, and create a reproducible plan. It is used to assemble and review agent workflows through its CLI, local MCP server, catalogue, plugins, and Workbench. The catalogue add-ons provide the skills, plugins, bundles, and workflows that AAS Core helps agents select and validate.

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

ai-agent-development 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 5d 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 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.
