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.
npx agentmods add instructions/dcramer/agents/agents-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/dcramer/agentsWhat 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 | $0.00250 | $0.00250 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00125 | $0.00125 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00050 | $0.00050 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00025 |
Grade A, and why
agents 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 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.

Conventions
- Keep runtime skill guidance portable; use skill-root-relative paths.
- Add
references/,scripts/, orassets/under a skill only when they have a concrete runtime purpose. - Do not add hosting or deployment config, including
CNAME, unless explicitly requested. - Keep docs concise and actionable; prefer checklists and tables over prose.
Validation
- No repo package manager or standard test command is defined yet.
- For skill changes, run the relevant structural validator when available and report the exact command and result.
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.

agents AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository dcramer/agents (54 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 250 tokens to every session, about $0.0013 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.
