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/edxeth/pi-subagents/agents-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/edxeth/pi-subagentsWhat 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 | $0.01304 | $0.01304 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00652 | $0.00652 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00261 | $0.00261 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00130 | $0.00130 |
Grade A, and why
pi-subagents 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 — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Read README.md before doing anything. It documents the model, frontmatter, placement policies, and env vars this package exposes.
Package facts
- This is a Pi package extension. Extension entrypoint is
src/index.ts. - Tests run on plain
node --test(seepackage.jsonscripts).npm testandbun testboth work. - One-off checks (
tsc,biome,knip) run viabunxso no extra deps are declared.
Project structure contract
Keep the repository organized by ownership. Do not recreate a catch-all src/subagents/ or generic test/parts/ directory.
Source layout:
src/subagents.tsis extension wiring only: event hooks, tool registration, and thin glue.src/agents/owns agent definitions, catalog messaging, and titles.src/launch/owns child launch preparation, launch policy, child command construction, resume args, prompt artifacts, runtime path resolution, and session seeding.src/runtime/owns running state, wait/join, shutdown, background/interactive watchers, result routing, and widgets.src/session/owns JSONL session helpers and trimmed fork-session logic.src/tools/owns Pi tool/command implementations and tool policy.src/mux/owns multiplexer internals;src/mux.tsis the public barrel.src/artifact-storage.tsowns artifact storage roots/paths.src/launch/prompt-artifacts.tsowns writing launch prompt/task artifact files. Do not blur these names.src/types.tsis shared runtime type surface only; do not turn it into a junk drawer.
Test layout:
- Use
test/, nottests/;node --testscripts already targettest/. - Mirror source ownership in tests. Each domain suite must be imported by
test/test.ts, ornpm testwill not run it. test/support/is split by ownership; do not recreate a fattest/support.ts. Check the current files withlsrather than assuming.- Never name split files
part-*,chunk-*, or similar. File names must describe the behavior/domain they test.
File size and split rules
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.

pi-subagents AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository edxeth/pi-subagents (112 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,304 tokens to every session, about $0.0065 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.
