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 | $0.00377 | $0.00377 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00188 | $0.00188 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00075 | $0.00075 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00038 | $0.00038 |
Grade A, and why
hive AGENTS.md 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 yesterday.
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
Repository Guidelines
Shared agent instructions for this workspace.
Coding Agent Notes
- When working on a GitHub Issue or PR, print the full URL at the end of the task.
- When answering questions, respond with high-confidence answers only: verify in code; do not guess.
- Do not update dependencies casually. Version bumps, patched dependencies, overrides, or vendored dependency changes require explicit approval.
- Add brief comments for tricky logic. Keep files reasonably small when practical; split or refactor large files instead of growing them indefinitely.
- If shared guardrails are available locally, review them; otherwise follow this repo's guidance.
- Use
uvfor Python execution and package management. Do not usepythonorpython3directly unless the user explicitly asks for it. - Prefer
uv runfor scripts and tests, anduv pipfor package operations.
Multi-Agent Safety
- Do not create, apply, or drop
git stashentries unless explicitly requested. - Do not create, remove, or modify
git worktreecheckouts unless explicitly requested. - Do not switch branches or check out a different branch unless explicitly requested.
- When the user says
push, you maygit pull --rebaseto integrate latest changes, but never discard other in-progress work. - When the user says
commit, commit only your changes. When the user sayscommit all, commit everything in grouped chunks. - When you see unrecognized files or unrelated changes, keep going and focus on your scoped changes.
Change Hygiene
- If staged and unstaged diffs are formatting-only, resolve them without asking.
- If a commit or push was already requested, include formatting-only follow-up changes in that same commit when practical.
- Only stop to ask for confirmation when changes are semantic and may alter behavior.
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.

hive AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository aden-hive/hive (10,998 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 377 tokens to every session, about $0.0019 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.
