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/fail-safe/noema/agents-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Fail-Safe/NoemaWhat 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 | $0.00791 | $0.00791 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00396 | $0.00396 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00158 | $0.00158 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00079 | $0.00079 |
Grade A, and why
Noema 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 — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Repository Guidelines
Project Structure & Module Organization
Noema is a Rust 2024 CLI and MCP server with a minimum supported Rust version
of 1.88. The executable entry point is src/main.rs; implementation lives in
src/, grouped by domain modules such as cli, cortex, db, mcp,
federation, watch, consolidation, embedding, and trace. SQLite
migrations are in migrations/. Unit tests live beside the code they cover;
process-death and recovery integration tests live in tests/*.rs.
Plugins are separate: plugins/obsidian/ is a TypeScript Obsidian plugin, and
plugins/hermes/ is a Python Hermes memory provider with pytest tests. Shared
scripts live in scripts/; security notes and qualification material live in
SECURITY.md and tests/. The completed Go-to-Rust evaluation is retained in
docs/why-rust.md and the related rewrite documents as historical evidence.
Build, Test, and Development Commands
make build: builds the development binary at./noema.cargo run -- <args>: runs the CLI without copying a root binary.cargo build --locked: builds the Rust crate usingCargo.lock.make test: runs formatting, strict Clippy checks, and all Rust tests.cargo test --all-targets --locked: runs the complete Rust test suite.make release-check: builds and smoke-tests the optimized host binary.cd plugins/obsidian && npm ci && npm run build && npx tsc --noEmit: validates the Obsidian plugin.cd plugins/hermes && pytest: runs Hermes plugin tests when Python changes.
Coding Style & Naming Conventions
Use cargo fmt for formatting and keep modules small and domain-named. New
warnings must pass cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings. Prefer existing
Clap command patterns in src/cli.rs and existing storage/mutation APIs in
src/cortex.rs over new cross-cutting abstractions. SQL migrations use
zero-padded numeric prefixes such as 016_trace_embeddings.sql.
For TypeScript, keep sources in plugins/obsidian/src/ and let the existing
esbuild and TypeScript configs define output and type checks.
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.

Noema AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Fail-Safe/Noema (19 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 791 tokens to every session, about $0.0040 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.
