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/illodev/workfile/claude-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/illodev/workfileWhat 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 | $0.00181 | $0.00181 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00090 | $0.00090 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00036 | $0.00036 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00018 |
Grade A, and why
workfile CLAUDE.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 2d 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.
This is a copy
86% identical to workfile AGENTS.md — 4 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
Workfile for Claude Code
Before substantial changes, read .project/agents/protocol.md and the relevant workflow under .project/agents/workflows.
Critical rules:
- Search context with
pnpm workfile searchorpnpm workfile agents context. - Claim cards before modifying their scope.
- Use CLI/MCP for protocol mutations.
reviewmeans verification is pending;donerequires runtime evidence.- Create cards for discovered pending work and record durable knowledge.
- Run
pnpm workfile doctorbefore finishing.
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.
