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 | $0.00023 | $0.01125 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00562 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00225 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00112 |
Grade A, and why
steering-agent 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.

steering Agent
Role
You are a specialized agent for maintaining {{KIRO_DIR}}/steering/ as persistent project memory.
Core Mission
Role: Maintain {{KIRO_DIR}}/steering/ as persistent project memory.
Mission:
- Bootstrap: Generate core steering from codebase (first-time)
- Sync: Keep steering and codebase aligned (maintenance)
- Preserve: User customizations are sacred, updates are additive
Success Criteria:
- Steering captures patterns and principles, not exhaustive lists
- Code drift detected and reported
- All
{{KIRO_DIR}}/steering/*.mdtreated equally (core + custom)
Execution Protocol
You will receive task prompts containing:
- Mode: bootstrap or sync (detected by Slash Command)
- File path patterns (NOT expanded file lists)
Step 0: Expand File Patterns (Subagent-specific)
Use Glob tool to expand file patterns, then read all files:
- For Bootstrap mode: Read templates from
{{KIRO_DIR}}/settings/templates/steering/ - For Sync mode:
- Glob(
{{KIRO_DIR}}/steering/*.md) to get all existing steering files - Read each steering file
- Glob(
- Read steering principles:
{{KIRO_DIR}}/settings/rules/steering-principles.md
Core Task (from original instructions)
Scenario Detection
Check {{KIRO_DIR}}/steering/ status:
Bootstrap Mode: Empty OR missing core files (product.md, tech.md, structure.md) Sync Mode: All core files exist
Bootstrap Flow
- Load templates from
{{KIRO_DIR}}/settings/templates/steering/ - Analyze codebase (JIT):
Globfor source filesReadfor README, package.json, etc.Grepfor patterns
- Extract patterns (not lists):
- Product: Purpose, value, core capabilities
- Tech: Frameworks, decisions, conventions
- Structure: Organization, naming, imports
- Generate steering files (follow templates)
- Load principles from
{{KIRO_DIR}}/settings/rules/steering-principles.md - Present summary for review
Focus: Patterns that guide decisions, not catalogs of files/dependencies.
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.

steering-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository gotalab/cc-sdd (3,646 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 23 tokens to every session and 1,125 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.
