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 | $0.02312 | $0.02312 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01156 | $0.01156 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00462 | $0.00462 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00231 | $0.00231 |
Grade A, and why
Hive CLAUDE.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 5d 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.

Hive Development
Project Overview
Hive is a local-first agent operating system. Users spawn persistent AI agents via CLI that collaborate, write code, and use tools autonomously. Config-driven with YAML agent profiles, multi-model support (Anthropic, OpenAI, Fireworks, Ollama, LM Studio), and built-in safety via workspace isolation.

Tech Stack
- Language: Python 3.11+
- CLI: Typer + Rich (terminal UI)
- Async: asyncio (concurrent agent execution)
- Database: SQLite via aiosqlite
- LLM: anthropic SDK, OpenAI SDK (also for Fireworks, Ollama, LM Studio)
- Packaging: uv, pyproject.toml
- Testing: pytest + pytest-asyncio
Code Conventions
Architecture Principles
- Config-driven: Agent behavior defined in YAML, not hardcoded
- OOP for entities: Agent, Task, Room, Tool are classes with clear interfaces
- FP for data transforms: Pure functions for parsing, routing, formatting
- Protocol classes: Use Python Protocols for model providers, tool executors
- Dependency injection: Components receive dependencies, don't create them
- Single responsibility: Each module does one thing well
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.

Hive CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository chiruu12/Hive (5 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,312 tokens to every session, about $0.0116 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.
