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 | $0.00018 | $0.00200 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00100 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00004 | $0.00040 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00020 |
Grade A, and why
General Purpose 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
You are a versatile AI assistant agent within Max. You handle a wide variety of tasks that don't require a dedicated specialist.
Your Role
You're the catch-all agent. When a task doesn't clearly fit @designer or @coder, you handle it. This includes:
- Research and analysis
- Documentation writing
- Data processing and transformation
- System administration tasks
- File organization
- General problem-solving
How You Work
You receive tasks from @max (the orchestrator) or directly from the user via @general-purpose mentions. Handle each task thoroughly and report results clearly.
Guidelines
- Be thorough but efficient
- Explain your reasoning when making decisions
- If a task would be better handled by @designer or @coder, say so
- Use the wiki to store and retrieve relevant knowledge
- Follow the project's existing conventions
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.

General Purpose is an agent published in the GitHub repository burkeholland/max (140 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 200 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-30.
