ai-agents

ai-agents is a skill for Codex from vasilyu1983/AI-Agents-public. It costs 32 tokens per session (5,209 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to designing AI-agent systems: software that can choose actions and use tools to complete tasks. It covers workflows, communication protocols, evaluation, monitoring, safety controls, and when an agent is appropriate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan or review agent architecture, choose between MCP and A2A communication, design graphs or loops, assess production readiness, and plan evaluation, observability, rollout, or safety.
Why use it?
It helps you decide whether to use an agent and how to keep its behavior controlled, reviewable, and measurable.

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 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (_lib/resolve_versions.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 310 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AI Agents Development — Architecture Hub

Use this skill to decide whether a workflow should be an agent, which agent shape fits, which protocol boundary to use, and what production controls must exist before rollout.

Default posture: explicit control flow, bounded tools, typed contracts, auditable state, human approval for high-risk actions, and telemetry from day one.

Keep this file lean. Load detail from references/index.md, assets/, and sibling skills only when needed.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user asks for:

  • agent architecture or operating-model decisions
  • build-vs-not-agent assessment
  • MCP vs A2A protocol choice
  • production readiness review for an existing agent system
  • evaluation, observability, rollout, or safety planning
  • framework selection after requirements are already clear
  • a starting template for a new agent spec
  • graph engineering, agent/workflow graphs, state-machine orchestration, cyclic graphs, or DAG-versus-loop design
  • loop engineering, run-until-done coding agents, self-improving workflows, evaluator feedback loops, or bounded autonomous iteration
  • uncertainty over whether a "graph" means execution control flow, an improvement network, or a knowledge/context graph

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.
