What is academy-theme AGENTS.md?

Repository instructions for developing the Academy Hugo theme, a reusable set of templates and styles for building websites with Hugo. They describe its tools, setup commands, project layout, and build process.

Use them when installing dependencies, running the development site, building or cleaning it, and working on layouts, styles, content templates, or localization files.

They give a coding agent the repository's expected environment and commands, reducing incorrect setup steps or changes in the wrong directories.

Token cost

What 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 5.1	$0.01586	$0.01586
Opus 5.5	$0.00634	$0.00634
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00317	$0.00317
Haiku 4.5	$0.00159	$0.00159

Security

Grade A, and why

academy-theme 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 26d 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.

Local Development: When developing this theme locally, link it to a Hugo site (like academy-example) using a replace directive in the site's go.mod file:
```
replace github.com/layer5io/academy-theme => ../academy-theme
```
Testing: Always test changes with an actual Academy site to ensure layouts and components work correctly.

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.
