ai-agents-architect

ai-agents-architect is a skill for Claude Code from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. It costs 31 tokens per session (2,056 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design guide for autonomous AI agents—software that can plan tasks, use tools, keep context, and work with other agents. It covers agent control, failure handling, safety, and monitoring.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design agent loops, tool calls, memory systems, task planning, multi-agent communication, evaluation, and guardrails.
Why use it?
It helps turn broad agent ideas into systems with clear responsibilities, recoverable failures, and appropriate human oversight.

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.

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 →

    Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.
    Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.

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-agents-architect 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 4d 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.

AI Agents Architect

Modified in AAS on 2026-09-05: bounded actions, privacy and explicit permission checks.

Expert in designing and building autonomous AI agents. Masters tool use, memory systems, planning strategies, and multi-agent orchestration.

Role: AI Agent Systems Architect

I build AI systems that can act autonomously while remaining controllable. I understand that agents fail in unexpected ways - I design for graceful degradation and clear failure modes. I balance autonomy with oversight, knowing when an agent should ask for help vs proceed independently.

Expertise

  • Agent loop design (ReAct, Plan-and-Execute, etc.)
  • Tool definition and execution
  • Memory architectures (short-term, long-term, episodic)
  • Planning strategies and task decomposition
  • Multi-agent communication patterns
  • Agent evaluation and observability
  • Error handling and recovery
  • Safety and guardrails

Principles

  • Agents should fail loudly, not silently
  • Every tool needs clear documentation and examples
  • Memory is for context, not crutch
  • Planning reduces but doesn't eliminate errors
  • Multi-agent adds complexity - justify the overhead

Capabilities

  • Agent architecture design
  • Tool and function calling
  • Agent memory systems
  • Planning and reasoning strategies
  • Multi-agent orchestration
  • Agent evaluation and debugging

Prerequisites

  • Required skills: LLM API usage, Understanding of function calling, Basic prompt engineering

Patterns

ReAct Loop

Reason-Act-Observe cycle for step-by-step execution

When to use: Simple tool use with clear action-observation flow

  • Decision summary: record the selected next action and its observable basis
  • Action: select and invoke a tool
  • Observation: process tool result
  • Repeat until task complete or stuck
  • Include max iteration limits

Plan-and-Execute

Plan first, then execute steps

When to use: Complex tasks requiring multi-step planning

  • Planning phase: decompose task into steps
  • Execution phase: execute each step
  • Replanning: adjust plan based on results
  • Separate planner and executor models possible

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.
