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 | $0.00021 | $0.00249 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00125 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00050 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00025 |
Grade A, and why
ai-first-engineering 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to ai-first-engineering — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
AI-First Engineering
Use this skill when designing process, reviews, and architecture for teams shipping with AI-assisted code generation.
Process Shifts
- Planning quality matters more than typing speed.
- Eval coverage matters more than anecdotal confidence.
- Review focus shifts from syntax to system behavior.
Architecture Requirements
Prefer architectures that are agent-friendly:
- explicit boundaries
- stable contracts
- typed interfaces
- deterministic tests
Avoid implicit behavior spread across hidden conventions.
Code Review in AI-First Teams
Review for:
- behavior regressions
- security assumptions
- data integrity
- failure handling
- rollout safety
Minimize time spent on style issues already covered by automation.
Hiring and Evaluation Signals
Strong AI-first engineers:
- decompose ambiguous work cleanly
- define measurable acceptance criteria
- produce high-signal prompts and evals
- enforce risk controls under delivery pressure
Testing Standard
Raise testing bar for generated code:
- required regression coverage for touched domains
- explicit edge-case assertions
- integration checks for interface boundaries
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.

ai-first-engineering is a skill published in the GitHub repository sifxprime/kodelyth-ecc (11 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 249 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to ai-first-engineering, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.

foolproof-product
Use this skill on ANY code change in codevira's product surface (mcpserver/, indexer/). Triggers on Edit/Write to product code, on phrases like "fix bug", "add feature", "handle error", or any modification to commands the end-user runs. Enforces 10 product- reliability principles: no silent failures, atomic state…
open-source-quality
Use this skill before committing, pushing, or opening a PR. Triggers on phrases like "commit", "git commit", "push", "open PR", "create pull request", "finalize this change". Enforces conventional commit messages, atomic commits, code style (ruff/mypy), public-API docstrings, actionable error messages, changelog…
release-readiness
Use this skill whenever the conversation mentions releasing, shipping, publishing, promoting to PyPI, "ship it", "release X.Y.Z", "ready to release", "let's publish", or any phrase suggesting moving codevira to production. Walks the 5-gate release gauntlet (G1-G5) and refuses to proceed without evidence at every gate.…
epistemic-honesty
Use this skill whenever you're about to (1) make a definitive claim like "this works", "tests pass", "ready to ship", "fixed", "done"; or (2) propose a solution to a problem; or (3) diagnose a bug or issue. Forces explicit confidence calibration with inline evidence, surfaces what you don't know, and demands a…
development-discipline
Use this skill before ANY code-writing tool call (Edit, Write, NotebookEdit) on this project. Triggers on phrases like "implement", "fix bug", "add feature", "refactor", "create function", "modify file", or whenever the user asks for a code change. Forces a 4-step CONTEXT → PURPOSE → REASON → CODE sequence with…
practical-coding
Use for implementing, fixing, refactoring, or reviewing code with the smallest correct change; routes only unresolved debugging, architecture/choice, or risk-boundary blockers, while code retrieval uses the cheapest sufficient available capability.
