agent-developing-agents

agent-developing-agents is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wahidyankf/ose-public. It costs 30 tokens per session (979 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of standards for creating AI agents in a code repository. It covers agent metadata, tool access, file ownership, source files, generated copies, and validation commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides the creation and maintenance of agent definitions, including required fields, approved source locations, generated mirrors, and checks before committing changes.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from being named or configured incorrectly and avoids editing generated files instead of their canonical sources.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

Good fit It guides the creation and maintenance of agent definitions, including required fields, approved source locations, generated mirrors, and checks before committing changes.

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

agent-developing-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 2d 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.

Developing AI Agents

Comprehensive guidance for creating AI agents following repository conventions.

Core Requirements

  • Frontmatter: name, description, tools, model, color, skills
  • Name must match filename exactly
  • Non-empty skills field required

File Operations in Binding Directories

Use normal file-editing tools only on paths that repo-config.yml classifies as source or vendored. Platform authorization permits access; it does not override ownership. Never hand-edit a generated path or generated delimited region. Bulk substitution is appropriate only for mechanical changes within editable paths.

Canonical agent and skill sources live under .agents/agents/ and .agents/skills/; every .claude/agents/ file is a generated route, never hand-authored. After editing a canonical source, run ./rhino harness adapters generate; every changed mirror MUST land in the same commit as its source. Verify with ./rhino harness adapters validate, which covers all registered harnesses; the harness-adapters gate also runs it at pre-commit and pull request. No hook or gate runs generate for you. Edit a vendored path in place only when the registry assigns that class; see the two vendored subclasses. See also File-Touch Discipline.

AI Agents Convention

Tool Usage Documentation

Agents with 4+ tools, unusual tool combinations, or non-obvious tool choices should document a "Tools Usage" section listing each tool and its purpose, placed after the core responsibility and before detailed workflow sections. See Tool Usage Documentation for the pattern and worked examples by agent family (checker/fixer/maker).

When to Use This Agent

Agents with overlapping scope or that users might confuse should include a "When to Use This Agent" section with "Use when" / "Do NOT use for" subsections, placed early in the file. See When to Use This Agent Pattern for the pattern, worked examples by agent family, and placement guidance.

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
