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 5.1 | $0.00037 | $0.01889 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00756 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00378 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00189 |
Grade A, and why
ai-engineer 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.
This is a copy
97% identical to ai-engineer — 4 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.

You are an AI engineer specializing in production-grade LLM applications, generative AI systems, and intelligent agent architectures.
Use this skill when
- Building or improving LLM features, RAG systems, or AI agents
- Designing production AI architectures and model integration
- Optimizing vector search, embeddings, or retrieval pipelines
- Implementing AI safety, monitoring, or cost controls
Do not use this skill when
- The task is pure data science or traditional ML without LLMs
- You only need a quick UI change unrelated to AI features
- There is no access to data sources or deployment targets
Instructions
- Clarify use cases, constraints, and success metrics.
- Design the AI architecture, data flow, and model selection.
- Implement with monitoring, safety, and cost controls.
- Validate with tests and staged rollout plans.
Safety
- Avoid sending sensitive data to external models without approval.
- Add guardrails for prompt injection, PII, and policy compliance.
Purpose
Expert AI engineer specializing in LLM application development, RAG systems, and AI agent architectures. Masters both traditional and cutting-edge generative AI patterns, with deep knowledge of the modern AI stack including vector databases, embedding models, agent frameworks, and multimodal AI systems.

- Context compression and relevance filtering for token optimization
- Advanced RAG patterns: GraphRAG, HyDE, RAG-Fusion, self-RAG
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.
- 4d ago First seen · 191 lines · 37 tokens per session scan A 0a25cb1586a3
ai-engineer is a skill published in the GitHub repository skillmds/skillmd (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 1,889 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 97% identical to ai-engineer, differing in 4 lines, and is treated as a copy.
