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 | $0.00135 | $0.00135 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00068 | $0.00068 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00027 | $0.00027 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00014 |
Grade A, and why
Prompt-Engineering-Guide 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 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.
What it actually says
Prompt Engineering Guide
Project Overview
Open-source prompt engineering guide at promptingguide.ai. Built with Next.js (Nextra theme).
Project Learnings
Read and follow the project learnings in Prompt-Engineering-Guide-notes/learnings/ before starting work. These are distilled from past session corrections and contain important patterns for this project.
Notes & Content
- All project notes go in
Prompt-Engineering-Guide-notes/(Obsidian vault inside the project root)
Git Workflow
- Do NOT push to remote unless explicitly asked by the user
- Commits are fine, but always wait for user to request push
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.

Prompt-Engineering-Guide CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository dair-ai/Prompt-Engineering-Guide (77,898 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 135 tokens to every session, about $0.0007 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.
