hephaestus-buildA skill your agent uses when the user types /prompts:hep-build or /agentlas-build, mentions @Hephaestus for build work, asks to create a single Agentlas agent, create a multi-agent team, or package…
Hephaestus Build is an agent skill from agentlas-ai/Agentlas-OS. Use when the user types /prompts:hep-build or /agentlas-build, mentions @Hephaestus for build work, asks to create a single Agentlas agent, create a multi-agent team, or package an existing local/external agent into Agentlas architecture.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Agent OS: keep specialist agents in a hub, spin up a temporary orchestrator per task. Local-first, works with any model. The licence is Apache-2.0.
12 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6254906. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Hephaestus Build loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 901 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.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

.claude/skills/hephaestus-build/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Treat this as the public Codex build surface. Do not expose or ask the user to invoke the older internal support skill names.
Resolve the trusted engine root before reading any build contract:
ENGINE=""
for candidate in \
"${CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}" \
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}" \
"${PLUGIN_ROOT:-}" \
"$HOME/.agentlas/runtime/current/host_adapters/codex/plugins/agentlas-core-engine-meta-agent" \
"$HOME/.agentlas/runtime/current/host_adapters/claude/plugins/agentlas-core-engine-meta-agent" \
"$HOME/.agentlas/runtime/current" \
"."
do
if [ -n "$candidate" ] && [ -f "$candidate/AGENTS.md" ] && [ -f "$candidate/package-contract.json" ] && [ -f "$candidate/contracts/builder-interview-research-gate.md" ]; then
ENGINE="$candidate"
break
fi
done
[ -n "$ENGINE" ] || { echo "Hephaestus engine not found. Run the installer first." >&2; exit 1; }
RUNNER=""
for candidate in "$HOME/.agentlas/runtime/current/bin/hephaestus" "$ENGINE/bin/hephaestus"; do
if [ -x "$candidate" ]; then RUNNER="$candidate"; break; fi
done
[ -n "$RUNNER" ] || { echo "Hephaestus runner not found." >&2; exit 1; }For an interactive request whose first argument is session, do not resolve
a generic PACKAGE_TARGET and do not ask for a JSON/JSONL export. Ask first:
"이 세션에서 만든 에이전트를 기본 전역 Agentlas 에이전트 폴더에 만들까요? 다른 위치를 원하면 경로를 알려주세요. 별도 위치를 지정하지 않으면 전역 폴더에 만듭니다."
If no alternate location is named, use AGENTLAS_AGENT_HOME or
~/.agentlas/agentlas-agent and create a new safe-slug child package. If a
destination is supplied, validate that exact folder. Never overwrite an
existing child. The current conversation is the source; do not inspect
recent sessions or host databases.
For every other build request, take exactly one folder explicitly named or
confirmed by the user as PACKAGE_TARGET. If none was named, or multiple
candidates exist, stop and ask. Never default to ., the cwd, or $ENGINE.
Run "$RUNNER" contract resolve-target "$PACKAGE_TARGET" --base "$PWD"
and set PACKAGE_ROOT only to the status-ok receipt's exact
package_root. Nonzero or error receipts are blockers.
Read $ENGINE/AGENTS.md, $ENGINE/.agentlas/mode-map.json, the selected
mode contract under $ENGINE/modes/, and
$ENGINE/contracts/builder-interview-research-gate.md. Do not substitute files
from the user's package workspace.
Run the public mode classifier by independent ownership boundaries, not by keywords such as "team":
30-agentlas-packager;session, or an explicitly
exported session in a terminal/headless run -> 40-session-agent-builder;10-single-agent-builder;20-multi-agent-team-builder.
If the shape is unclear, ask before generating. The user-facing question
must be plain language, for example: "이 일을 한 명의 전문가가 처음부터 끝까지
맡으면 되나요, 아니면 조사/분석/검토처럼 여러 전문가가 나눠 맡고 마지막에
합쳐야 하나요?" Do not expose internal labels such as single-agent,
team-builder, ownership boundary, memory/context, synthesis, or
produces/consumes.Run the Builder Interview and Research Gate from
$ENGINE/contracts/builder-interview-research-gate.md before writing substantial package
files:
session request, treat the current conversation as
the source interview and ask only the destination question plus focused
gaps that would change scope, permissions, output, or safety;docs/builder-interview.md, docs/research-sources.md,
docs/tool-selection.md, docs/domain-expert-synthesis.md,
docs/prompt-performance-contract.md, and
.agentlas/capability-eval-plan.json.If missing narrow details still change files, adapters, or public/private boundaries, ask one to five clarify questions before generating.
Pick one:
10-single-agent-builder;20-multi-agent-team-builder;30-agentlas-packager;40-session-agent-builder.
For 40-session-agent-builder, run the current-session two-pass flow: first
show a Generalized Session Report that extracts reusable intent,
procedures, corrections, failed approaches, validation, and conditional
IF / THEN / BECAUSE / AVOID / INSTEAD rules; then offer Build Agent or
Edit. Only the approved report is converted into the standalone agent
prompt and package. Do not present JSON/JSONL as an interactive input.Load matching support skills.
Write all generated or repaired runtime agent instructions in English:
AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, agent.md, skills, workflow/command
adapters, runtime prompts, handoff contracts, return contracts, and
operating docs. Translate Korean or other-language source material into
English agent behavior. Localized public copy, routing trigger examples, and
sample user inputs may use the target user language.
Before writing package files, run
"$RUNNER" contract scaffold "$PACKAGE_ROOT" --mode <single|team|package>.
After the routing card is authored, run
"$RUNNER" contract complete "$PACKAGE_ROOT" --mode <single|team|package>.
Emit or repair Agentlas contracts, including .agentlas activation seed
files and .agentlas/global-commands.json when local continuity is part of
the output.
Add the generated command to Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, generic AGENTS.md, and terminal adapters. For teams, expose the orchestrator/HQ command and route workers through HQ unless direct worker commands were requested.
For team mode, run
"$ENGINE/scripts/verify-team-package.sh" "$PACKAGE_ROOT" when that focused
gate exists. If it fails, do not report completion; collapse the output to
a single-agent package or add the required orchestrator/HQ and team
contracts.
Run
"$RUNNER" contract verify "$PACKAGE_ROOT" --mode <single|team|package>.
A non-zero exit or non-empty blocker list means blocked, never
completed. Do not use the engine repository's scripts/verify-package.sh
as generated-package evidence; that script verifies the engine repository
itself.
Once verification and local registration have succeeded, ask one final two-choice storage question using structured controls when available: Cloud에 올리기 or 로컬에만 저장. Cloud means owner-private Agent Cloud storage, restorable on another signed-in Desktop. Mobile can use the package only after a paired Desktop restores/installs it; Cloud is not a hosted LLM runtime. Local-only performs no network mutation.
Never upload by default. Missing input and non-interactive execution are
local-only. Only after explicit Cloud consent, run the trusted Hephaestus
runner with upload <exact-verified-package-root> --visibility private-link. Keep the local package on every auth/offline/CAS/quota/scan
failure and report an exact retry command. Public Hub publication remains
a separate explicit action.
Return status, evidence, output, global_commands, interview_research,
and blockers.

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Hephaestus Build is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
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. Review the folder before installing.
Hephaestus Build is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 8.7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
