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 | $0.01258 | $0.01258 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00629 | $0.00629 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00252 | $0.00252 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00126 | $0.00126 |
Grade C, and why
mache AGENTS.md scanned grade C 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.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.
rm -rf directory # NOT: rm -r directory How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent Instructions
This project uses rsry for bead tracking.
Quick Reference
rsry bead --repo . list --status ready
rsry bead --repo . review <id>
rsry bead --repo . comment add <id> "progress note"
rsry bead --repo . close <id>
rsry bead --repo . export --status all --jsonl -o .beads/beads.jsonl
Non-Interactive Shell Commands
ALWAYS use non-interactive flags with file operations to avoid hanging on confirmation prompts.
Shell commands like cp, mv, and rm may be aliased to include -i (interactive) mode on some systems, causing the agent to hang indefinitely waiting for y/n input.
Use these forms instead:
# Force overwrite without prompting
cp -f source dest # NOT: cp source dest
mv -f source dest # NOT: mv source dest
rm -f file # NOT: rm file
# For recursive operations
rm -rf directory # NOT: rm -r directory
cp -rf source dest # NOT: cp -r source dest
Other commands that may prompt:

Issue Tracking with rsry Beads
IMPORTANT: This project uses rsry beads for ALL issue tracking. Do NOT use markdown TODOs, task lists, or external issue trackers.
Why rsry?
- Dependency-aware: Track blockers and relationships between issues
- Version-controlled: bead content is shared through
.beads/beads.jsonl - Agent-optimized: JSON output, ready work detection, discovered-from links
- Prevents duplicate tracking systems and confusion
Quick Start
Check for ready work:
rsry bead --repo . list --status ready
Create new issues:
rsry bead --repo . create "Issue title" -d "Detailed context" -t bug|feature|task -p 0
Review and update:
rsry bead --repo . review <id>
rsry bead --repo . comment add <id> "What changed / what remains"
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.

mache AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository agentic-research/mache (45 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 1,258 tokens to every session, about $0.0063 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
