ade-cli is a command-line tool for turning documents into structured, searchable content, including Markdown, document elements, and extracted fields with page-and-box evidence. It is used from a terminal to parse documents and retrieve schema-shaped data, while its bundled catalogue add-ons help coding agents operate the CLI.

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 5.1 | $0.00200 | $0.00200 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00080 | $0.00080 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00040 | $0.00040 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00020 |
Grade A, and why
ade-cli 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 2mo 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
ade-cli
Agent skills
Issue tracker
Issues are tracked in GitHub Issues (landing-ai/ade-cli) via the gh CLI. See docs/agents/issue-tracker.md.
Triage labels
Default canonical labels: needs-triage, needs-info, ready-for-agent, ready-for-human, wontfix. See docs/agents/triage-labels.md.
Domain docs
Single-context: one CONTEXT.md + docs/adr/ at the repo root. See docs/agents/domain.md.
Writing style
Standards for help text, the README, and SKILL.md; inline code in help prose is always backticked (test-enforced). See docs/agents/writing-style.md.
Development
Setup, from-source install, the design-doc map, and the release process live in CONTRIBUTING.md. The README is user-facing only.
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.
