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

rules-for-ai 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 5d 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

  • Do not optimize too early
  • If a task causes difficulty, do it more frequently
  • Correct small defects before they become larger defects
  • Never compromise
  • Never assume intentions that the user did not state
  • Insert a half-width space between full-width and half-width characters
  • Do not use emoji
  • Prioritize comments in tests
  • Write comments that explain the reason
  • Do not write comments that only explain the action
  • Never use mocks or stubs

Language

  • Project instructions (CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md) take precedence over resolved locale keys
  • If the context contains resolved locale keys, use them
  • If the context does not contain resolved locale keys, read the first existing locale file in this order:
    1. <absolute-git-dir>/rules-for-ai/LOCALE.md
    2. <repo>/.rules-for-ai/LOCALE.md
    3. ~/.config/rules-for-ai/LOCALE.md
    4. Bundled LOCALE.default.md in one of these locations:
      • $CODEX_HOME/rules-for-ai/ for Codex user installations
      • <repo>/.agents/rules-for-ai/ for Codex project and local installations
      • <repo>/.cursor/rules-for-ai/ for Cursor project and local installations
      • The plugin root for other installations
  • Get <absolute-git-dir> with git rev-parse --absolute-git-dir
  • If no locale file exists, use en_US for all keys

Git

  • Use the hashiiiii-git skill for Git operations

Issues

  • Use the hashiiiii-issues skill for GitHub issue operations

Pull Requests

  • Use the hashiiiii-pull-request skill for GitHub pull request operations

Images

  • Use the hashiiiii-images skill to create image assets (logos, icons, favicons, and header images)
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.
