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 | $0.00148 | $0.00148 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00074 | $0.00074 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00030 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00015 |
Grade A, and why
codex-usage-sidebar 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 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.
What it actually says
Repository governance
- Run
./governance doctorbefore the first code-changing action in a task. If hooks are inactive, run./governance bootstrapand repeat doctor. - Never develop or commit directly on
main; usecodex/<type>/<kebab-case>. - Use English Conventional Commit headers and Conventional Commit PR titles. PR background and verification may be written in Chinese.
- Never use
--no-verify, weaken checks, overwrite a published release asset, or edit product versions in ordinary commits. - Run
./governance check allbefore pushing. Release product versions only through the generated Release Please PR.
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.
