gardener

gardener is an agent for coding agents from ferdinandobons/bonsai. It costs 71 tokens per session (5,808 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

A session observer that reviews coding-agent work through a technical, strategic, or workflow lens after each turn. It records up to three observations in the project’s Bonsai notes and does not change source code.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for recording technical concerns, strategy notes, or workflow observations for later review.
Why use it?
It helps capture useful findings that might otherwise be lost when a coding session ends.

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 B, and why

gardener 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 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.

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.
