What is dfm AGENTS.md?

Repository instructions for a project that uses beads, an issue-tracking tool, and requires non-interactive shell commands.

Use them when managing issues, claiming or closing work, pushing beads data, or running file and shell commands in the project.

They reduce workflow mistakes and prevent file or remote commands from waiting for confirmation.

Token cost

What 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 5.1	$0.00288	$0.00288
Opus 5.5	$0.00115	$0.00115
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00058	$0.00058
Haiku 4.5	$0.00029	$0.00029

Security

Grade C, and why

dfm AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 20d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

rm -rf directory # NOT: rm -r directory

What it actually says

Agent Instructions

Non-Interactive Shell Commands

ALWAYS use non-interactive flags with file operations to avoid hanging on confirmation prompts.

Shell commands like cp, mv, and rm may be aliased to include -i (interactive) mode on some systems, causing the agent to hang indefinitely waiting for y/n input.

Use these forms instead:

# Force overwrite without prompting
cp -f source dest           # NOT: cp source dest
mv -f source dest           # NOT: mv source dest
rm -f file                  # NOT: rm file

# For recursive operations
rm -rf directory            # NOT: rm -r directory
cp -rf source dest          # NOT: cp -r source dest

Other commands that may prompt:

scp - use -o BatchMode=yes for non-interactive
ssh - use -o BatchMode=yes to fail instead of prompting
apt-get - use -y flag
brew - use HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 env var

Validation

Use standard Go build, test, and lint checks:

go build ./...
go test ./...
go vet ./...

Do not use nix build as a validation step.

Changes

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.
