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/frankxai/awesome-agent-operating-systems/agents-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/frankxai/awesome-agent-operating-systemsWhat 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 | $0.00358 | $0.00358 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00179 | $0.00179 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00072 | $0.00072 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00036 | $0.00036 |
Grade A, and why
awesome-agent-operating-systems 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 yesterday.
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.

Agent Rules
- Read this file before making changes.
- Preserve existing user work and unrelated dirty files.
- Keep edits scoped to the requested task.
- Prefer existing repo conventions over new abstractions.
- Run the health command before handoff when feasible.
- Do not publish secrets, private memory, credentials, or internal-only strategy.
Class-Specific Guidance
- Prefer primary sources and active projects.
- Avoid private paths, private strategy, and unsourced rankings.
- Keep lists curated, not exhaustive dumps.
Handoff
Summarize changed files, validation run, risks, and any follow-up needed.
Design Taste Kernel
For any site, app, landing page, dashboard, visual identity, brand, motion, media, social, or frontend task, apply the shared Design Taste Kernel before handoff:
- C:\Users\frank\starlight\repos\DESIGN_TASTE.md
- C:\Users\frank\starlight\repos\WEB_EXPERIENCE_STANDARD.md
- C:\Users\frank\starlight\repos\MOTION_TASTE_RUBRIC.md
- C:\Users\frank\starlight\repos\MULTI_AGENT_DESIGN_COUNCIL.md
- C:\Users\frank\starlight\repos\VISUAL_QA_GATE.md
When motion, scroll, generated media, GIF/video, or premium polish matters, route through the Motion Design Studio plugin/skills and verify the result visually.
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.
