In plain words
What is it for?

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.

Token cost

What 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.

Security

Grade A, and why

hack 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 395 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Default to using Bun instead of Node.js.

  • Use bun <file> instead of node <file> or ts-node <file>
  • Use bun test instead of jest or vitest
  • Use bun build <file.html|file.ts|file.css> instead of webpack or esbuild
  • Use bun install instead of npm install or yarn install or pnpm install
  • Use bun run <script> instead of npm run <script> or yarn run <script> or pnpm run <script>
  • Use bunx <package> <command> instead of npx <package> <command>
  • Bun automatically loads .env, so don't use dotenv.

APIs

  • Bun.serve() supports WebSockets, HTTPS, and routes. Don't use express.
  • bun:sqlite for SQLite. Don't use better-sqlite3.
  • Bun.redis for Redis. Don't use ioredis.
  • Bun.sql for Postgres. Don't use pg or postgres.js.
  • WebSocket is built-in. Don't use ws.
  • Prefer Bun.file over node:fs's readFile/writeFile
  • Bun.$ls instead of execa.

Testing

Use bun test to run tests.

import { test, expect } from "bun:test";

test("hello world", () => {
  expect(1).toBe(1);
});

Coding Style & Naming Conventions

TypeScript (strict). Runtimes: Bun 1.3+, Node 23. Prettier: 2 spaces, no semicolons, double quotes, width 100. Import order: @ianvs/prettier-plugin-sort-imports + Tailwind plugin. ESLint (flat): any disallowed; unused vars warned (prefix _ to ignore). Naming: React components PascalCase; files kebab-case (e.g., user-profile.ts); packages @repo/. Comments: avoid writing inline comments everywhere, unless absolutely necessary for a todo or an important thing to take note of. Instead write tsdoc style block level comments at the method/class/function/route level. Focus on comments that provide value in regards to better type inference and clarity of usage. Using things like params/returns/etc..

Always default to useing named paramaters in functions eg myFunction({ ctx, other }) vs myFunction(ctx, other) Never use any types and always default to leveraging generics and smart types to sensure the best possible tpye inference across the project.

Changes

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.
