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 | $0.00319 | $0.00319 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00160 | $0.00160 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00064 | $0.00064 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
otito 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.
What it actually says
otito-first workflow
This repository is the Otito project. When Codex is working here, use Otito as the first source of truth for repository context.
- Before planning or editing, run
node src/cli.js contextfor the task. - If the scope is unclear or risk is elevated, run
node src/cli.js impactbefore changing files. - If the work touches PR safety or merge readiness, run
node src/cli.js prornode src/cli.js reviewbefore giving a final answer. - Prefer Otito MCP tools over guessing file paths, routes, contracts, or review state from memory.
- Do not answer repository questions from memory when Otito can inspect the repository directly.
- Keep durable generated evidence under
.otito/runs/YYYY-MM-DD/<task>/. Do not write new artifacts under.dev-context/.
MCP
Use the built-in MCP server so Codex can call Otito tools directly:
node src/cli.js mcp
For Codex Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP hosts, follow the host config examples in docs/02-mcp-agent-workflows/README.md.
Working Style
- Read the relevant source files after getting Otito context.
- Keep changes scoped to the smallest owner files that actually need to move.
- Run the repo's validation commands before finishing a task.
- Preserve the trust-layer framing: context, tests, permissions, review, and durable evidence.
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.
