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 | $0.02240 | $0.02240 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01120 | $0.01120 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00448 | $0.00448 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00224 | $0.00224 |
Grade A, and why
alook 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 3d 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 — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Alook
Alook's main purpose is to make the cli agent always on, and give it a email address.

MUST
- Don't write comment: comment may be outdated, code never. Unless the comment are specs and rules.
- run
pnpm typecheck,pnpm testas the final check when you think the code is ready. - service must be STATELESS! All the state must be in DB or local, never put important states in memory.
- scope the queries before, not check the ownership after. don't query data then check if the data belongs to a workspace, use workspace id ahead to query the data.
- respect others' works, don't reset any other git changes just because it's not done by you, others may working at the same time, never revert anything without asking the user.
- don't stash others' works, you can wait, but stash others' work will cause many problems.
Release — Unified Version Bump
All workspace packages share one version. Use pnpm bump to release:
pnpm bump 0.0.11 # explicit version (v prefix optional)
pnpm bump patch # auto-increment patch/minor/major
pnpm bump patch --min-cli # also update MIN_CLI_VERSION in src/web/wrangler.toml
pnpm bump patch --desktop # trigger desktop build
This updates every src/*/package.json and commits release: vX.Y.Z.
Add --min-cli when the release contains breaking changes that require users to update their CLI.
Add --desktop when the release includes desktop app changes that need a new build.
Mobile store releases are not configured; add current signing accounts and rebuild the release workflow before exposing a mobile release flag.
After reviewing the commit:
git push origin main
This triggers:
- CI — typecheck, lint, tests, coverage (uploaded to Codecov)
- Auto-Tag & Release — CI detects the
release: vX.Y.Zcommit message, creates the git tag, and creates a GitHub Release with generated changelog (auto-tag-release.yml) - @alook/cli → auto-published to npm via
publish-cli.yml(watchessrc/cli/package.json) - @alook/app → auto-published to npm via
publish-app.yml(watchessrc/app/package.json) - @alook/daemon → auto-published to npm via
publish-daemon.yml(watchessrc/daemon/package.json) - CF Workers → each module redeploys when its own
package.jsonchanges
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.
