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 | $0.01074 | $0.01074 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00537 | $0.00537 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00215 | $0.00215 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00107 | $0.00107 |
Grade A, and why
apex-accelerator github-actions.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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
GitHub Actions Workflow Standards
Standards for creating and maintaining CI/CD workflows in this repository. For general GitHub Actions best practices, rely on GitHub Actions documentation.
Project Conventions
Runner and Node.js
- Runner:
ubuntu-latestfor all jobs - Node.js: Version
24withnpmcaching — never use20or older (Node.js 20 reached EOL April 2026) - Dependencies:
npm ci(notnpm install)
Permissions
- Set
permissionsat workflow level (least privilege) - Default:
contents: read - Add write permissions only when needed (e.g.,
issues: writefor freshness checks)
Triggers
- PR validation: Trigger on
pull_requesttomain - Post-merge: Trigger on
pushtomain - Path filters: Use
paths:to scope workflows to relevant files - Manual: Include
workflow_dispatchfor on-demand runs - Scheduled: Use
schedulewith cron for periodic checks (e.g., weekly freshness)
Action Versions
- Pin to major version tags (e.g.,
@v6), not@mainor@latest - Use current versions:
| Action | Version |
|---|---|
actions/checkout |
@v6 |
actions/setup-node |
@v6 |
actions/upload-artifact |
@v4 |
actions/download-artifact |
@v4 |
actions/cache |
@v4 |
actions/github-script |
@v8 |
peter-evans/create-pull-request |
@v8 |
Naming and Structure
- Workflow file: Descriptive kebab-case (e.g.,
ci.yml,weekly-maintenance.yml) - Workflow
name: Human-readable title - Job
name: Clear, concise label - Step
name: Descriptive action (e.g., "Validate agent frontmatter") - Start with a comment block describing purpose and trigger conditions
Concurrency
Use concurrency to prevent duplicate runs:
concurrency:
group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
cancel-in-progress: true
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.
