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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.01702 | $0.01702 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00851 | $0.00851 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00340 | $0.00340 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00170 | $0.00170 |
Grade C, and why
joint-chiefs CLAUDE.md scanned grade C 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 4d 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.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.
4. **Cold-machine smoke test** — `rm -rf "/Applications/Joint Chiefs.app"`, mount fresh DMG, drag-install, launch, confirm first-run window appears. Signing/notarization verdicts alone don't catch dyld/rpath failures. How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Joint Chiefs
Canonical instruction file. AGENTS.md is a symlink to this file.
Goal: Public MIT-licensed open-source tool. Success = adoption and acquisition value, not revenue. Reliability beats features — prefer minimal correct changes. Don't propose monetization, premium tiers, or scale infrastructure unless asked.
Multi-model AI code review orchestrator. Four surfaces (CLI, stdio MCP server, macOS setup app, keygetter binary) built on one JointChiefsCore engine. Hub-and-spoke debate with Claude as moderator; streams consensus summary. Grounded in MAD research.
Website: https://jointchiefs.ai/ (source: private djfunboy/joint-chiefs-website repo — this repo is the app)
Latest release: v0.5.13 — added claude-opus-5 (newest Opus flagship) to the Anthropic picker; claude-fable-5 remains the Anthropic/moderator default. 90+ tests. CFBundleVersion 1777000011.
Next session: read the most recent tasks/SESSION-HANDOFF-*.md (gitignored; local-only).
Stack & Architecture
- Build system: Swift Package Manager. Minimum target macOS 15.0 (Sequoia). Apple Silicon only — no Intel support.
- Packages:
JointChiefsCore(models/providers/orchestrator/credential store/APIKeyResolver),JointChiefsCLI(jointchiefs),JointChiefsMCP(jointchiefs-mcp, stdio),JointChiefsSetup(SwiftUI setup app),JointChiefsKeygetter(jointchiefs-keygetter) - MCP dependency:
modelcontextprotocol/swift-sdkpinned exact 0.12.0 - State management:
@Observablemacro +@State/@Environment/@Bindable. Never mix withObservableObject. - Service pattern:
@Environmentinjection — no singletons. - Design system: Agentdeck (monospace-as-identity, warm-charcoal). All colors/fonts/spacing/radii in
JointChiefsSetupMUST come fromAgentdeck*token files inSources/JointChiefsSetup/DesignSystem/. Readdocs/reference/DESIGN-SYSTEM.mdbefore any UI change. Never hardcode hex or CGFloat. - Providers: OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, xAI Grok, Ollama, OpenAI-compatible (LM Studio/Jan/llama.cpp-server/Msty/LocalAI) — all via REST + SSE streaming
- Storage:
StrategyConfigJSON →~/Library/Application Support/Joint Chiefs/strategy.json(0600); API keys →credentials.json(same dir, 0600) via keygetter only
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.

joint-chiefs CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository djfunboy/joint-chiefs (0 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,702 tokens to every session, about $0.0085 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
