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.
npx agentmods add instructions/bitbitcodes/autonomous-sdlc/agents-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/bitbitcodes/autonomous-sdlcWhat it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.02310 | $0.02310 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01155 | $0.01155 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00462 | $0.00462 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00231 | $0.00231 |
Grade A, and why
autonomous-sdlc 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.
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.
AGENTS.md — Agent Discovery File
This file follows the OpenAI/AAIF agent discovery standard. It describes the agents available in this framework and how to invoke them.
Framework
Autonomous SDLC Framework — A multi-agent system for autonomous software development lifecycle execution.

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.

autonomous-sdlc AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository bitbitcodes/autonomous-sdlc (36 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,310 tokens to every session, about $0.0115 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 2026-08-30.
