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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.05033 | $0.05033 |
| Opus 5 | $0.02516 | $0.02516 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.01007 | $0.01007 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00503 | $0.00503 |
Grade A, and why
opencolab 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 3d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Repository Guidelines
Project Structure & Module Organization
OpenColab is a TypeScript/Node.js ESM CLI and local gateway for a multi-project, multi-agent research workflow. Keep repository guidance aligned with the actual runtime, not aspirational structure.
Top-level sources of truth:
docs/spec.md: source of truth for requirements and architecture.docs/VISION.md: product direction and long-term intent.README.md: quickstart, high-level overview, and condensed runtime/reference guide.package.json: npm package metadata, published CLI surface, and pack/publish lifecycle hooks.pnpm-workspace.yaml: root pnpm workspace definition; includessrc/web/client/so one root install provisions the Vite web UI dependencies used bypnpm run build.install.sh: package-first macOS/Linux installer, managed-install manifest writer, and command shim setup, with optional--hackygit-clone fallback.install.ps1: package-first Windows PowerShell installer, managed-install manifest writer, and command shim setup, with optional--hackygit-clone fallback.projects/SKILLS/: shared built-in skill library copied into agent prompts, not per-project duplicates, including search, summarization, grounded paper QA, scientific LaTeX paper/report writing, image, architecture-diagram, and iterative experiment-loop workflows. Packaged installs must ship this directory too.src/: TypeScript implementation.src/web/: OpenColab Studio implementation, with read-only gateway API handlers inserver/, shared DTOs inshared/, and the Vite/React/Tailwind/shadcn client workspace inclient/.src/agent-templates/: built-in agent markdown scaffolds loaded by the runtime when seeding agent files and prompt context, with shared files inshared/and role-specific folders such asprofessor/,beginner/,autoresearch/, andspecialist/. RoleAGENTS.mdtemplates should stay concise and avoid restating detailed rules already owned by shared files or injected built-in guidance. Packaged installs must ship the runtime-accessible equivalents.tests/: Nodenode:testsuite.
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.

opencolab AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository jimezsa/opencolab (11 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 5,033 tokens to every session, about $0.0252 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 2026-08-30.
