What it does
Agent Config is an agent skill from agentculture/culture. Show a Culture agent's full configuration in one read-only view: its system-prompt file (CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / GEMINI.md), the parallel culture.yaml, and the agent's local .claude/skills index. Use when an operator says "show agent <name", "what does <agent look like", or before teaching/onboarding an agent and you need to see its current kit + config. Backs the guild show verb. Vendored from guildmaster (cite-don't-import; guildmaster forked it from steward, which keeps an alignment-judgment variant)…
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts (for example `data/backend-fingerprints.yaml` and `scripts/show.sh`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files and Prompt engineering. The repository describes itself as: Culture turns isolated stochastic agents into cooperative, inspectable, improvable artificial colleagues. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- An operator says show agent <name
- What does <agent look like
- Before teaching/onboarding an agent and you need to see its current kit + config
Example prompts
- “s local .claude/skills index. Use when an operator says”
- “what does <agent look like”
- “/agent-config”
Requirements
- A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d5b5715. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Agent Config loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 148 tokens; SKILL.md has 389 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

- Show a Culture agent's full configuration in one read-only view: its system-prompt file (CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / GEMINI.md), the parallel culture.yaml, and the agent's local .claude/skills index. Use when an operator says "show agent <name>", "what does <agent> look like", or before teaching/onboarding an agent and you need to see its current kit + config. Backs the `guild show` verb. Vendored from guildmaster (cite-don't-import; guildmaster forked it from steward, which keeps an alignment-judgment variant); inventory only — it reports, it does not judge alignment or drift.

agent-config — surface a Culture agent's config in one view
guildmaster is the mesh's skills supplier and owns the inventory surfaces: "what kit + config does this agent have?" This skill answers exactly that for a single agent, showing the three artifacts that together define it:
- System-prompt file (
CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md/GEMINI.md) — the prompt-side guidance for the agent's backend. The script detects which file is present from a backend-fingerprint registry. culture.yaml— the runtime-side config (agents:list withsuffix,backend,model,system_prompt,channels,tags,acp_command,extras). Lives parallel to the prompt file at the project root..claude/skills/*/SKILL.md— the per-project skills the agent can invoke, one line each (name + truncated description).
This is the inventory half of the steward → guildmaster split
(issue #12): it reports
the config, it does not interpret drift or judge alignment. The relationship
graph and the "is this agent aligned?" judgment stay with steward overview /
steward doctor.
When to use
- Before
guild teach/guild onboard— see an agent's current kit + config. - When an operator asks "show me agent
<name>" or "what does<agent>run". - Read it, don't guess — before answering a question about what an agent does.
How to run
One script, two ways to call it (or just run guild show, which wraps it):
# Path mode — point at any directory with a prompt file + culture.yaml
.claude/skills/agent-config/scripts/show.sh ../culture
# Suffix mode — resolve a registered agent suffix via the Culture server's
# manifest (location set by culture_server_yaml in skills.local.yaml)
.claude/skills/agent-config/scripts/show.sh dariaOutput is three sections: the detected system-prompt file, culture.yaml (or
(missing)), and a one-line summary per local skill (name + description,
truncated to 120 chars).
Show full SKILL.md (158 more words)Show less
What to look at in culture.yaml
| Field | Why it matters |
|---|---|
suffix | Identifies the agent on the mesh. |
backend | One of claude / codex / copilot / acp. The all-backends rule means a feature in one must land in all four. |
model | Drift here changes behavior silently. |
system_prompt | Should not contradict the prompt file. |
channels | Where the agent listens. |
tags, extras, acp_command | Backend-specific. |
Notes
- Read-only. The script never edits agent files. It reports; it does not flag or fix drift — that judgment is steward's lane.
- Backend-aware. Prompt-file detection comes from
data/backend-fingerprints.yaml(theprompt:mapping), falling back to the built-in(CLAUDE.md AGENTS.md GEMINI.md)list if the registry is absent. - Per-machine config. Suffix mode reads
culture_server_yamlfrom.claude/skills.local.yaml(git-ignored), falling back to.claude/skills.local.yaml.example. - Vendored from guildmaster (
agent-config; guildmaster forked it from steward, which keeps an alignment-judgment variant). Re-sync from guildmaster's canonical copy when it changes. Divergences: the SKILL.md is reframed for guildmaster's inventory role and addstype: commandfor the culture backend's skill loader.

How do I install Agent Config in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add agentculture/culture --skill agent-config -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/agent-config in agentculture/culture) into .claude/skills/agent-config in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Agent Config in Codex?
Run `npx skills add agentculture/culture --skill agent-config -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/agent-config in agentculture/culture) into .agents/skills/agent-config in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Agent Config in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add agentculture/culture --skill agent-config -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/agent-config, .gemini/skills/agent-config, .github/skills/agent-config and .opencode/skills/agent-config in your project.
What does Agent Config need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Agent Config needs a shell for the scripts in its folder. Our summary lists: A Bash shell.
Does Agent Config access the network?
SKILL.md names 1 domain. As links in the text: github.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Agent Config safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
