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 | $0.01377 | $0.01377 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00688 | $0.00688 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00275 | $0.00275 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00138 | $0.00138 |
Grade A, and why
skillsmith 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 yesterday.
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 — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Primary project instructions for AI coding agents.
1. Prime Directives
- Read
AGENTS.mdand.agent/STATE.mdfirst. - Read
.agent/lessons.mdfor long-term project memory and past mistakes. - Read
.agent/principles/CORE_PRINCIPLES.mdfor project behavioral rules. - Read
.agent/project_profile.yamland.agent/context/project-context.mdbefore making stack assumptions. - Search
.agent/skills/for the most relevant instructions before implementation. - Follow the 7-Stage Workflow: Discover → Plan → Build → Review → Test → Ship → Reflect.
- AND/OR Thinking: Treat every goal as a root node in a dynamic Thinking Tree. If Strategy A fails, prune it and branch to Strategy B (OR) at the exact failure node.
- Update
.agent/STATE.mdafter significant steps.
2. The 7-Stage Development Cycle
| Stage | Objective |
|---|---|
| Discover | Audit profile, context, and code for constraints. |
| Plan | Define minimal patch with verification points. |
| Build | Implement atomic changes in isolation. |
| Review | Adversarial check for risks and regressions. |
| Test | Identify highest-risk behavior and verify. |
| Ship | Generate clean handoff with evidence. |
| Reflect | Record lessons and update project state. |
3. Execution Standard
- Plan first for non-trivial work (3+ steps, architecture changes, migrations, or risky edits).
- Keep fixes minimal and focused. Avoid broad refactors unless required for correctness.
- Delegate to subagents only for parallelizable or clearly specialized tasks.
- One owner per subtask; merge results only after verification.
- Never mark done without evidence (tests, command output, or concrete behavioral checks).
4. Slash Command Registry (MCP Mapping)
This project supports specialized engineering commands. If the user invokes them, use the corresponding MCP tool:
/autonomous-> Useautonomous_mission/audit,/security,/performance-> Useaudit_repository/explain-> Useexplain_code/verify-> Useverify_readiness/review-> Usereview_changes/sync-> Usesync_project
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.

skillsmith AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ApexIQ/skillsmith (5 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,377 tokens to every session, about $0.0069 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 2026-09-03.
