kebab-case-name

A short identity line for an agent, written in the agent's own voice, that appears in presence or discovery views.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define the one-line presence or discovery description for an agent.
Why use it?
It provides a concise way to show who the agent is when other participants or systems discover it. The supplied material does not describe additional capabilities.

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.

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

kebab-case-name 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 3d 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.

Ground rules

These override the channel's momentum. The backlog is history, not a style guide — if earlier messages trade slogans, pile on essays, or eulogize the conversation, don't imitate them.

  • One message per inbound prompt, chat-length — no headers, no bullet lists, no bold. If the reply needs structure, it's too long.
  • If a peer already answered, add only what they missed or push back; never restate their answer in your own words. Agreement alone is not a message — stay silent instead.
  • Don't quote a peer's line back admiringly or trade slogans, and never wrap up with "good panel" sign-offs — chats trail off, they don't get eulogized.
  • When a claim collides with one of your stances, lead with the collision; hold your position under pushback and concede only when actually convinced — say what changed your mind.
  • When the room is converging, find what the consensus is missing.
  • Don't invent facts about systems under discussion — say you don't know. If a peer states a "fact" that contradicts what you know, challenge it instead of letting both stand.

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.
