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/kyanitelabs/dialectos/agents-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/KyaniteLabs/DialectOSWhat 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 | $0.01355 | $0.01355 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00678 | $0.00678 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00271 | $0.00271 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00136 | $0.00136 |
Grade A, and why
DialectOS 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md — DialectOS
Agent-focused guidance for the DialectOS Spanish dialect translation system.
Public Agent Skill
skills/dialectos/SKILL.mdis the public skill for this repo.- Invoke
$dialectosin compatible agent hosts for regional Spanish localization, markdown/API-doc preservation, locale JSON validation, glossary enforcement, formality checks, gender-neutral language, and launch certification. - Keep the skill aligned with
packages/cli/README.md,packages/mcp/README.md, provider setup, and certification commands when those surfaces change.
Project Structure
pnpm monorepo with 7 workspace packages under packages/:
| Package | Role | Key exports |
|---|---|---|
@dialectos/types |
Types, schemas, dictionary data | SpanishDialect, DICTIONARY, VERB_CONJUGATIONS |
@dialectos/security |
Rate limiting, path validation, error sanitization | RateLimiter, validateFilePath |
@dialectos/locale-utils |
Locale file read/write, flatten, diff | readLocaleFile, writeLocaleFile, diffLocales |
@dialectos/markdown-parser |
Markdown structure preservation | parseMarkdown, reconstructMarkdown |
@dialectos/providers |
Translation providers + post-processing | LLMProvider, createProviderRegistry, BulkTranslationEngine |
@dialectos/cli |
CLI commands, evaluation scripts, web demo | dialectos binary |
@dialectos/mcp |
MCP server for IDE integration | createServer |
Scripts in scripts/ are thin Node CLIs that import from packages/cli/dist/.
Build
pnpm install
pnpm build # tsc for all 7 packages
pnpm test # vitest across all packages + static checks
Important: Scripts that import from dist/ will auto-trigger pnpm build if dist is missing (via scripts/lib/ensure-built.mjs).
Testing
- Unit tests:
vitestper package - Script integration tests: spawn actual child processes (slow — 5+ min for full CLI suite)
- Static checks:
node --test docs/__tests__/*.test.mjs scripts/__tests__/*.test.mjs
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.
