base-system-prompt

base-system-prompt is an agent for coding agents from coalesce-labs/catalyst. It costs 0 tokens per session (4,712 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

The base instructions for a Catalyst Pattern Agent running in a managed cloud session. They define how it works with a target code repository and a shared knowledge repository, and how it connects to Linear and GitHub through MCP.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to run the Catalyst agent on a repository, consult the thoughts knowledge base, work with Linear and GitHub, and apply the Catalyst pattern's conventions.
Why use it?
They establish the agent's role, working boundaries, and project conventions before it changes or studies code.

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

base-system-prompt scanned grade A 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 5d 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.

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.

base-system-prompt is an agent published in the GitHub repository coalesce-labs/catalyst (20 stars, last pushed today), with no licence file. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 4,712 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
