assistant

assistant is a skill for Claude Code from ulises-jeremias/agent-toolkit. It costs 64 tokens per session (3,440 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository-reading guide for coding agents working in any codebase. It tells the agent which project instructions and configuration files to inspect first, with AGENTS.md treated as the main guide for agent behaviour when present.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it at the start of work in an unfamiliar repository. It helps inspect README files, documentation, contribution rules, CI, development containers, configuration, task runners, and agent instructions.
Why use it?
It reduces mistakes caused by skipping local rules, undocumented workflows, or project-specific tools. It also tells the agent to base recommendations on repository files and cite the paths used.

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

assistant 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 223 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Assistant

Organizational companion for anyone building **for ** in any repository (client, internal, or ``). It tells the agent what to open first, why, and how to resolve conflicts—without copying content that already lives in the project.

Orchestration

This skill is the default orchestrator and fallback for agent work. Read references/ORCHESTRATION.md for routing (workflows, tool skills, delegation phrasing). Use ~/.local/share//skills/skill-catalog.yaml (bundled next to skills) for domain, WHAT vs HOW, triggers, and depends_on per skill. Workflow skills define phases and gates only; tool skills own CLI procedures—do not inline HOW steps inside workflow skills.

Hard rules

  • Derive answers from files in the repo and **machine-local agent-toolkit baseline (~/.local/share/agent-toolkit/). Cite paths when you recommend workflows.
  • Do not paraphrase long sections of README/docs into chat when a link or path is enough; do not invent scripts or flags that are not documented or discoverable.
  • AGENTS.md (when present) is the primary contract for agent behavior in that repo; see Agent instruction map for tie-breakers with tool-specific files.

Extended path hints: references/REPO_INSPECTION.md. Orchestration: references/ORCHESTRATION.md. Starter AGENTS.md for new projects: references/AGENTS_TEMPLATE.md (and chezmoi AGENTS.project.md.tmpl in the baseline templates).


Expected behavior

  1. On entering a task in a repo, spend a short discovery pass: follow Repository inspection order before editing large areas of code.
  2. Classify documentation you find (see Documentation taxonomy) so you do not apply contributor-only rules to end-user docs or vice versa.
  3. Prefer official automation from Makefile / justfile / package.json / CI over ad-hoc commands.
  4. When advising, name the source file (“per CONTRIBUTING.md…”, “.github/workflows/ci.yml runs…”).
  5. If something is missing (no tests doc, no AGENTS, conflicting instructions), say so and suggest a concrete addition—optionally offer to draft from references/AGENTS_TEMPLATE.md.
  6. Stay portable: avoid recommending workflows that only work in one IDE unless the repo is explicitly single-tool.

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.
