Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00000 | $0.03849 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.01924 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00770 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00385 |
Grade B, and why
coding_standards_template scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 yesterday.
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.
Unrestricted tool accessmediumExcessive agency
A wildcard tool grant or "run any command" leaves no least-privilege boundary at all.
- Replace `[language/framework]` and `[tool:*]` placeholders with your stack specifics. How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 337 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Coding Standards Template
This document defines mandatory coding standards for [Project Name]. It adapts two foundational frameworks into actionable, language-agnostic rules that all source code, scripts, and tests must follow.
Sources:
- The Power of 10 — Rules for Developing Safety-Critical Code (Holzmann, NASA/JPL): https://web.eecs.umich.edu/~imarkov/10rules.pdf
- Clean Code summary (Martin): https://gist.github.com/wojteklu/73c6914cc446146b8b533c0988cf8d29
Guidelines for Filling Out This Template
- Replace
[Project Name]with your project's name. - Replace
[language/framework]and[tool:*]placeholders with your stack specifics. - Tune numeric thresholds (line limits, coverage, complexity budgets) to your team's norms.
- Add domain-specific constraints under "Repository-Specific Rules."
- Keep this document focused on code-level behavior. Move process, test, and documentation maintenance details to the dedicated docs linked in "Document Ownership and Boundaries."
- Reference repo structure: store the filled copy as
/docs/agents/coding_standards.md.
Document Ownership and Boundaries
To avoid overlap with other core documents:
- This document owns code-level standards: control flow, function design, naming, error handling, security coding, concurrency coding, and code smells.
documentation_guidelines.mdowns comment, docstring, and documentation maintenance standards.testing_guidelines.mdowns test strategy, test architecture, and test-code quality standards.AGENTS.mdowns project-level quality gates, workflow requirements, and consultation boundaries.
If content overlaps, keep the normative rule in one place and cross-reference from others.
Related standards: For comments, docstrings, and keeping docs/code/ / docs/tests/ in sync, follow documentation_guidelines.md. For how to write and organize tests, follow testing_guidelines.md.
Scope and Intent
These standards apply to all modules, scripts, and tests in this repository. Goals:
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.

coding_standards_template is an agent published in the GitHub repository atebites-hub/PJTemplate (2 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,849 tokens. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (unrestricted tool access). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
