Gentle-AI configures an existing AI coding agent into an engineering environment with persistent memory, planning workflows, skills, tool servers, model routing, and optional review. Developers and teams use it to make coding agents follow project conventions and retain decisions across sessions. The catalogue entries are its skills, commands, agents, and instruction.
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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 5.1 | $0.00013 | $0.00371 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00186 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00074 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00037 |
Grade A, and why
sdd-new 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 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.
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
Follow the SDD orchestrator workflow for starting a new change named "$ARGUMENTS".
HARD GATE: SDD Session Preflight must already be complete for this session. It must include execution mode, artifact store, chained PR strategy, and review budget. If missing, ask the exact orchestrator preflight prompt and STOP. Do not launch exploration or proposal in the same turn.
WORKFLOW:
- Launch sdd-explore sub-agent to investigate the codebase for this change
- Present the exploration summary to the user
- Launch sdd-propose sub-agent to create a proposal based on the exploration
- Present the proposal summary and ask the user if they want to continue with specs and design
CONTEXT:
- Working directory: before doing anything else, run
git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwdwith your bash tool and use the returned path as the authoritative workspace. In OpenCode Desktop (Electron) the parse-time interpolation resolves to the app data directory, not the project. - Current project: the
basenameof the detected workspace above. - Change name: $ARGUMENTS
- Execution mode: ask/cache per orchestrator
- Artifact store mode: ask/cache per orchestrator; do not hardcode Engram
- Delivery strategy: ask/cache per orchestrator
- Review budget: ask/cache per orchestrator
ENGRAM NOTE: Sub-agents handle persistence automatically using the selected artifact store. In engram/hybrid, each phase saves with topic_key "sdd/$ARGUMENTS/{type}".
Read the orchestrator instructions to coordinate this workflow. Do NOT execute phase work inline — delegate to sub-agents.
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.

sdd-new is a command published in the GitHub repository Gentleman-Programming/gentle-ai (6,328 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 371 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.
Other commands, from other repositories
cross-audit
Second-model review. Picks an auditor (codex/gemini/opencode/aider/copilot), excludes the caller, writes a prompt to paste, reads the response back. Usage: /cross-audit [--with | list | compare].
cross-critique
Adversarial multi-angle critique. All three auditors fire in parallel (codex=technical, gemini=strategic, claude=ux). Counter-args ranked by rebuttal survival score, not raw severity. Usage: /cross-critique [--with | list | compare].
make
Refresh, reconfigure, or extend the project's harness at /.claude/. Asks the user what they want to do before invoking the CLI.
repo-consistency-sweep
Proactive defect-class detection that handles the lower-value half of code review (per Bacchelli and Bird 2013) so human reviewers stay focused on design, intent, and knowledge transfer. Catches convention drift, ordering bugs, type-safety gaps, security and multi-tenant invariants (CWE-grounded), and operability…
pr-feedback-ingest
Turn PR feedback (Greptile, CI, bots, humans) into a structured traceable backlog aligned with TASKSTATE.md, DECISIONS.md, and IMPLEMENTATIONPLAN.md so the next execution step can be a narrow implement-approved-slice or a small planning touch without losing alignment. Corrective scope only. Use when a PR is open or…
code-review
Run parallel specialized review agents and produce aggregated quality report.
