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 | $0.01036 | $0.01036 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00518 | $0.00518 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00207 | $0.00207 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00104 | $0.00104 |
Grade A, and why
deskbrid AGENTS.md scanned grade A 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 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
bash <(curl -fsSL https://deskbrid.patchhive.dev/install.sh) How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Deskbrid
Deskbrid bridges AI agents to any Linux desktop over a Unix socket. Control windows, inject keystrokes, take screenshots, manage clipboards — on GNOME, KDE, Hyprland, COSMIC, Sway, Niri, Wayfire, Labwc, or X11.
Install
bash <(curl -fsSL https://deskbrid.patchhive.dev/install.sh)
Auto-detects distro + DE, installs deps, sets up uinput, downloads binary.

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.

deskbrid AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository coe0718/deskbrid (30 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,036 tokens to every session, about $0.0052 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
