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 | $0.01712 | $0.01712 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00856 | $0.00856 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00342 | $0.00342 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00171 | $0.00171 |
Grade A, and why
obsigna 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 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.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Monorepo for the Agent Receipts protocol — cryptographically signed audit trails for AI agent actions. Contains the protocol spec, SDKs in three languages, an MCP proxy, and the documentation site.

Operational state lives at docs/operations/current.md. Read this first when starting a session. Update it when nodes change state.
Conventions
- All changes go through pull requests — never push directly to main
- CI is path-filtered: changes to
sdk/go/only trigger Go SDK CI - mcp-proxy CI also triggers on
sdk/go/changes (dependency) - hook CI also triggers on
sdk/go/changes (dependency) - Site deploys on
site/**orspec/**changes - Go modules share a repo-root
go.work(see Go workspace); never add a localreplacedirective in any publishedgo.mod - Run language-specific linters before committing (go vet, biome, ruff)
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.

obsigna AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository agent-receipts/obsigna (20 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 1,712 tokens to every session, about $0.0086 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.
