agentic-engineering

agentic-engineering is a skill for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor from vpeetla-ai/multi-agent-system-pattern. It costs 46 tokens per session (323 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A disciplined way to build software with an AI coding agent: understand the task first, make the smallest necessary changes, and check the result with tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for implementation tasks where code quality matters, especially when changing agent workflows, routing, or behavior in an existing repository.
Why use it?
It reduces unnecessary edits, speculative redesigns, and claims that work is finished without verification. It also highlights risky changes that need extra review or human approval.

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

agentic-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 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.

What it actually says

Agentic Engineering

Not vibe coding — preserve professional quality while moving faster.

Before writing code

  1. State assumptions and success criteria (tests, API response, UI behavior)
  2. Identify smallest change that satisfies the request
  3. Read surrounding files — match naming, types, error handling

While coding

  • Simplicity first — no speculative abstractions or "while I'm here" refactors
  • Surgical diffs — touch only files required for the task
  • Match conventions — see target repo's pyproject.toml, eslint, existing patterns

Before claiming done

  1. Run relevant tests (pytest -q, npm test, typecheck)
  2. For agent graphs: verify routing + at least one happy-path trace
  3. Summarize what changed and what was not changed (scope boundary)

Red flags — stop and ask

  • Request touches governance + orchestration in one PR (split layers)
  • Side effect without gateway/HITL (publish, push, notify)
  • No test strategy for new behavior

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.

agentic-engineering is a skill published in the GitHub repository vpeetla-ai/multi-agent-system-pattern (2 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 323 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
