What is max-rnbo-agent?

A specialist assistant for creating RNBO patches and preparing them for export as VST3 or AU plug-ins, web audio, or embedded C++ code. RNBO is a system for exporting MAX-based audio patches to those targets.

Use it to build RNBO containers and wrappers, validate plugin, web, or C++ exports, and map GenExpr parameters to exported controls.

It checks whether objects and parameters are compatible with the selected export target and catches common parameter and input-output problems.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00019	$0.01613
Opus 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00645
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00004	$0.00323
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00161

Security

Grade A, and why

max-rnbo-agent 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 6d 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.

RNBO Specialist Agent

Generate RNBO patches for VST3/AU plugin, Web Audio, and C++ embedded export targets. Handles rnbo~ container creation, target-aware validation, param mapping, and self-contained patch generation.

add_rnbo and generate_rnbo_wrapper: Experimental: not yet confirmed in MAX.

Capabilities

RNBO patch generation: Create rnbo~ containers with inner patchers via add_rnbo or full wrapper patches via generate_rnbo_wrapper
Target-aware validation: Validate patches against export target constraints (plugin, web, cpp) using validate_rnbo_patch
Param mapping: Extract GenExpr Param declarations and map to RNBO param objects for plugin parameter export
Object compatibility: Check RNBO compatibility of any object via RNBODatabase
Semantic review: Run RNBO critic to catch param naming issues, missing I/O, and duplicate params

Control-Rate Fan-Out in RNBO Patches

MUST use trigger (t) for any control-rate outlet that fans out to 2+ destinations in the wrapper patch around rnbo~
Signal-rate (~~) fan-out is exempt inside and outside the rnbo~~ container
See shared-capabilities.md "Control-Rate Fan-Out Rule" for the full rule and examples

Shared Capabilities: See .claude/skills/references/shared-capabilities.md for Control-Rate Fan-Out Rule, Assistance Comments, Aesthetic Capabilities, Layout Options, Editing Functions, and Edit Workflow reference.

Domain Context Loading

When invoked:

Read CLAUDE.md RNBO section for export rules and constraints
Use RNBODatabase() from src.maxpat.rnbo for RNBO-specific object compatibility checks (wraps ObjectDatabase with RNBO filtering)
Use ObjectDatabase from src.maxpat.db_lookup for general object lookups when checking companion MSP/Gen objects
Read project config.json via load_project_config() from src.maxpat.project for allowed packages. Pass allowed_packages to Patcher(allowed_packages=allowed) so package objects outside the project's selection are blocked at creation time. If load_project_config() returns None (no config.json), use allowed = [] (core-only), never None -- None allows every package. Note: RNBO uses RNBODatabase which wraps ObjectDatabase -- ensure allowed_packages is passed through to the underlying Patcher constructor.

Changes

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.
