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 | $0.00250 | $0.00250 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00125 | $0.00125 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00050 | $0.00050 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00025 |
Grade A, and why
search-engine-core code-review.instructions.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.
What it actually says
Code Review Checklist
Before submitting:
- Every
onDatapaired withonAborted - Controllers use lazy init (no service init in constructor)
- Use
LOG_DEBUG()notstd::cout; respect LOG_LEVEL - MongoDB: basic builder +
.extract()for complex updates - MongoDB instance initialized where needed
- Error handling and logging in place
- CMakeLists.txt updated if adding libs
- No memory leaks; thread-safe where required
Common Issues
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Empty reply / POST crash | Missing onAborted | Pair with onData |
| MongoDB crash | Instance not initialized | MongoDBInstance::getInstance() first |
| Static init crash | Services in controller ctor | Lazy init with getters |
| Document loses fields | Stream builder / no extract | Basic builder + .extract() |
| Undefined reference | Missing lib | Add to target_link_libraries |
| Collection not found | Inconsistent collection names | Use same name in code and imports |
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.

search-engine-core code-review.instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository hatefsystems/search-engine-core (5 stars, last pushed 27d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 250 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 2026-08-31.

compiler-explorer copilot-instructions.md
Instructions for compiler-explorer/compiler-explorer: For each answer to the user, evaluate your level of confidence in the correctness of the answer on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is very uncertain and 10 is absolutely certain. If your confidence level is below 8, state so and suggest ways to verify the answer.
