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 | $0.01720 | $0.01720 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00860 | $0.00860 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00344 | $0.00344 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00172 | $0.00172 |
Grade A, and why
cali 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 — 220 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Minimal operating guide for AI coding agents in this repo.
First 60 Seconds
- Classify the task:
- Info-only: do not edit code or run checks unless needed.
- Code change: make the smallest scoped edit and run the lightest relevant validation.
- Read at most 4 files first:
- the owning command module
- one role module
- one shared runtime file
- one relevant doc file if the CLI or context contract changes
- Define concrete success criteria before editing.
- Prefer the shared runtime contracts over command-local improvisation.

Public Commands
Implemented first-class commands:
qareviewperf-reviewdev
Current maturity:
qa: ship-readyreview: experimentalperf-review: experimentaldev: experimental
publish is intentionally not implemented. Release automation belongs in CI or in dev-driven pipeline work, not as an open-ended agent command.
Core Contracts
Local Mode
Use --local android|ios for local mobile runs.
CI metadata is detected automatically in GitHub Actions and EAS. Use --ci github-actions|eas only when you need to override detection.
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.

cali AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository callstackincubator/cali (990 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,720 tokens to every session, about $0.0086 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.
