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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.08154 | $0.08154 |
| Opus 5 | $0.04077 | $0.04077 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.01631 | $0.01631 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00815 | $0.00815 |
Grade A, and why
open-bridge 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 — 629 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
The Bridge — Agent Instructions
This file is the canonical, tool-agnostic operating manual for this repo —
session start flow, rules, task management, agents, standing orders, commands. It is
for any AI coding agent (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex, Cursor,
Windsurf, or any future tool). It is tool-agnostic with ONE exception — sub-agents are
Claude Code only; every other feature works identically across tools. The filename follows
the AGENTS.md convention (Linux Foundation); the content applies
to all agents regardless of which name your tool looks for. CLAUDE.md and
GEMINI.md are thin wrappers that point here.
This repo is your central command hub. From here you navigate to every repo, project, and tool in your ecosystem. Your agents handle analysis, deployment, security, communication, and monitoring — in parallel.
For humans: the README is the narrative + architecture overview with mermaid diagrams. Read it first if you're new to the project.
For you (the agent): this file is a lean router. It holds the behavioural
invariants and guardrails, says what each system is and when it matters, and
points at the rules/ and docs/ files that carry the mechanics.
Strategic status:
bks-lab/open-bridge(OSS, MIT) is the public CORE layer. Downstream forks (org overlays, personal instances) add overlays via the/promoteflow withscope:routing.
Required Reading
- This file (
AGENTS.md) is the full operating manual. The name is a convention; the content applies to all agents. - Read the session slice of
bridge-config.yamlwithpython3 scripts/bridge-config.py --session(identity, purpose, user_profile, theme, language, work). The other fifteen blocks belong to the skill that owns them; read a block with--keys <block>when that skill runs. - Index
ecosystem.yamlif present — the project registry (repos, packages, infrastructure, workspaces). Created during onboarding, user-specific and gitignored (likebridge-config.yaml), so absent on a fresh clone. It is not an@-import: Phase 1 runspython3 scripts/context-index.py ecosystem.yamlfor the settings plus one line per entry, and--get <name>fetches an entry when the work names one — the split skills have always had, applied to a declared map (docs/context-index.md).ecosystem.example.yamlis present on a fresh clone as the registry template — onboarding uses it as the starting point (copy + auto-populate → the gitignoredecosystem.yaml); do not hand-copy it.
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.

open-bridge AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository bks-lab/open-bridge (8 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 8,154 tokens to every session, about $0.0408 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 2026-08-31.
