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 | $0.02163 | $0.02163 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01081 | $0.01081 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00433 | $0.00433 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00216 | $0.00216 |
Grade A, and why
kb 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 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.
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 — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Project Overview
kb is a single-binary Go CLI for building and maintaining topic-based knowledge bases in the Karpathy KB pattern. It handles the non-LLM workflow: topic scaffolding, multi-source ingestion, structural linting, codebase analysis, QMD indexing/search, and KB-oriented inspection commands.
Reference TypeScript source: ~/dev/projects/kodebase

Critical Rules
make verifyis the non-negotiable completion gate:fmt -> lint -> test -> build -> boundaries.make lintmust report zero findings.- Use
go getfor dependency changes. - Never use destructive git restore/reset/checkout/clean/rm commands without explicit approval.
- Prefer local repository inspection over web search for codebase questions.
Build Commands
make verify # fmt -> lint -> test -> build -> boundaries
make fmt # gofmt over repository Go files
make lint # golangci-lint v2
make test # unit tests with -race via gotestsum
make test-integration # unit + integration tests with -race and -tags integration
make build # build ./... and bin/kb with ldflags
make deps # go mod tidy
make help # mage target list

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.

kb AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository compozy/kb (101 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,163 tokens to every session, about $0.0108 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.
