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/dudeaint/brownbear/claude-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/DudeAint/brownbearWhat 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 | $0.02935 | $0.02935 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01468 | $0.01468 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00587 | $0.00587 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00294 | $0.00294 |
Grade A, and why
brownbear 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 3d 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 — 217 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

BrownBear is a production iOS browser + userscript engine. The bar is App-Store-shippable, enterprise-grade code. We do not ship demos.
⚠️ READ THIS BEFORE YOU TOUCH A SINGLE LINE
Look. I have reviewed enough AI-generated and junior-engineer pull requests to last three
lifetimes, and my patience is gone. I have watched // TODO: implement later get merged into
main. I have seen a "finished" feature that was three stubbed functions and a return nil
wearing a trench coat. I have read a 600-line file that ended in // ... rest unchanged when
the rest was very much NOT unchanged. I am tired. My laptop has been to the edge of the wall
more than once. We are not doing that here.
So before you start generating, internalize this:
- If you don't understand the file, READ IT. Open it. Read its neighbors. Do not pattern- match a vibe and hallucinate an API that doesn't exist. Guessing is how we get 2am pages.
- "It compiles" is not "it works." And "it looks done" is not "it's done." If you didn't run it, say you didn't run it. Do not lie to me with confidence.
- Half-finished and HONEST beats finished and FAKE. If you ran out of room, stop and tell me exactly what's left. I can work with that. I cannot work with a stub you called complete.
- This app runs untrusted code from the internet. Every shortcut you take at the JS↔native boundary is a CVE with my name on the commit blame. Slow down. Validate the input. Fail closed.
- No slop. No filler. No "here's a basic implementation to get you started." I didn't ask for a starting point. I asked for the thing. Build the thing.
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.

brownbear CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository DudeAint/brownbear (10 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,935 tokens to every session, about $0.0147 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 2026-08-31.
