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 | $0.01140 | $0.01140 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00570 | $0.00570 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00228 | $0.00228 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00114 | $0.00114 |
Grade A, and why
ab AGENTS.md scanned grade A 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 2d 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.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 188 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS
This file is for agentic coding tools working inside Agent-Bridge (ab).
Scope
Work only inside the current ab checkout and its child repos:
abab-backab-frontab-pty
Do not treat old repos outside this checkout as the active source of truth.
Repository Model
abis the deploy/orchestration root- each child folder is its own git repository
- root
abis also its own git repository - changes should be committed in the repo that owns them
Current Product Split
ab-back: backend/APIab-front: main canvas frontend on5281ab-pty: PTY daemon
Quick Setup
- Ensure
.envexists:
cp .env.example .env
- Ensure
AB_JWT_SECRET_PATHpoints to a real file:
mkdir -p state/back
openssl rand -hex 32 > state/back/jwt-secret
- Bootstrap and start the default production-style stack:
scripts/bootstrap.sh
scripts/stack.sh up --mode prod
Default install mode includes one seeded docker demo agent plus its daemon container.
For a clean install without demo data:
scripts/stack.sh up --mode prod --skip-test-data
Developer Setup
Development, test/demo, and local release work require the child repos at:
./ab-back./ab-front./ab-pty
Start the bind-mount development stack with:
scripts/stack.sh up --mode dev
Default developer mode also includes the seeded docker-demo-agent.
For a clean dev stack:
scripts/stack.sh up --mode dev --skip-test-data
Quick Verify
scripts/stack.sh ps --mode prod
curl http://127.0.0.1:8520/health
curl http://127.0.0.1:8520/api/auth/status
Frontends:
http://127.0.0.1:5281
Default install also seeds:
docker-demo-agent
Test Stack
For an isolated clickable test environment with a fresh DB and two seeded docker remote agents:
scripts/test-up.sh
Required host tools:
dockerdocker composebashcurlpython3realpath
If the test stack already exists, the script prompts before tearing it down.
Answering no must leave the current test environment untouched and exit cleanly.
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.

ab AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository agent-bridges/ab (38 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,140 tokens to every session, about $0.0057 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
