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 | $0.00747 | $0.00747 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00374 | $0.00374 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00149 | $0.00149 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00075 | $0.00075 |
Grade A, and why
spring-plugin 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 — 38 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md — Contributor Guide
Explyt Spring: a multi-module IntelliJ Platform plugin for Spring/Quarkus/JPA support. Kotlin 2.3.20, JDK 21, Gradle. Public open-source project (Apache-2.0): https://github.com/explyt/spring-plugin — issues, discussions, and PRs live there.
Project structure
modules/<name>/— one Gradle module each, configured bymodules/<name>/<name>.gradle.kts(notbuild.gradle.kts).spring-coreowns the bean model, inspections, navigation, properties, statistics — most changes land here. Feature modules (spring-web,spring-data,spring-security, …) match their names.baseis Spring-agnostic shared utilities;test-frameworkholds test fixtures;spring-bootstrapis assembly-only (no feature code).- Sources:
modules/<name>/src/main/kotlin/com/explyt/...; tests:src/test/kotlin; test data:modules/<name>/testdata/. explyt-spring-boot-bean-reader/is a separate Maven project (runtime javaagent for Native Context Mode).
Build, test, run
./gradlew :spring-bootstrap:runIde # launch sandbox IDE (root runIde is disabled)
./gradlew :spring-bootstrap:buildPlugin # ZIP → modules/spring-bootstrap/build/distributions/
./gradlew :spring-core:test # one module's tests
./gradlew :spring-core:test --tests "com.explyt.spring.core.inspections.kotlin.SpringKotlinObjectInspectionTest"
Tests are IntelliJ Platform tests (headless IDE fixture) — slow and single-forked by design.
Code style and conventions
- Kotlin-idiomatic code; match surrounding style. Every source file starts with the Apache-2.0 SPDX header (
Copyright (c) 2024 Explyt Ltd). - User-visible strings go through module message bundles (
SpringCoreBundle, …); Spring FQNs come from constants holders likeSpringCoreClasses. - IntelliJ threading rules apply: no slow work on EDT, PSI access under read/write actions, re-throw
ProcessCanceledException, useSmartPsiElementPointeracross async boundaries. - New inspections extend existing base classes (e.g.
SpringBaseUastLocalInspectionTool), live in<module>/inspections/, and are registered in the module'splugin.xml. Reference pair:SpringKotlinObjectInspection.kt+ its test. - Inspection tests use
test-frameworkbase classes (ExplytInspectionKotlinTestCase, …), declarelibraries: Array<TestLibrary>, and usually have Java and Kotlin twins underinspections/java/andinspections/kotlin/. Add or update tests for any behavior change. - Track new user-facing actions via
StatisticActionId+StatisticService.addActionUsage(...).
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.

spring-plugin AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository explyt/spring-plugin (160 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 747 tokens to every session, about $0.0037 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.
