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 | $0.00232 | $0.00232 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00116 | $0.00116 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00046 | $0.00046 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00023 | $0.00023 |
Grade A, and why
mantle 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.
What it actually says
Mantle contributor router
- To create or continue a Mantle application, use the version-matched consumer
skills under
skills/and materialize a project outside this SDK checkout. - To change or review this SDK, read
CONTRIBUTING.mdand the relevant accepted ADRs before editing. - To version, publish, tag, or fan out a release, additionally read the canonical release skill. Do not release unless the user explicitly asks.
Repository safety gates:
- Branch from and open PRs against
develop; preserve merge commits. - Keep Runtime adapter-neutral and the v0.1 manifest grammar closed.
- Use the narrowest relevant check while editing; run
pnpm checkfor broad changes.
CLAUDE.md is a compatibility pointer, not a second instruction authority.
Generated applications receive their own version-matched instructions from
aotter/mantle-starters.
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.
