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 | $0.00261 | $0.00261 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00130 | $0.00130 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00052 | $0.00052 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00026 | $0.00026 |
Grade A, and why
kin 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 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.
What it actually says
AGENTS.md
This repository (kin) is part of the Kin ecosystem.
The canonical source of truth for agent and contributor guidance (repo roles,
boundaries, multi-session lane arbitration, commit hygiene, investor-hygiene
rules, the ordered vision, and the public narrative) lives in the umbrella
workspace AGENTS.md:
kin-ecosystem/AGENTS.md (also symlinked as kin-ecosystem/CLAUDE.md)
When working inside this repo as part of the umbrella workspace, that file is
loaded automatically by agent CLIs that read CLAUDE.md. If working in this repo in isolation,
read the umbrella AGENTS.md before making architectural or process decisions.
This repo's role
kin is the semantic system of record: CLI, daemon, MCP server, projections,
reconcile, review, provenance, execution, and the bundled seam packages and
crates under crates/ and packages/.
Boundary rule: put work here when it changes local semantic repo truth,
projections/reconcile, CLI/daemon/MCP behavior, or provenance/review/execution
semantics. Graph internals go in kin-db; hosted collaboration goes in
kinlab.
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.

kin AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository firelock-ai/kin (47 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 261 tokens to every session, about $0.0013 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.
