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 | $0.00657 | $0.00657 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00329 | $0.00329 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00131 | $0.00131 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00066 | $0.00066 |
Grade A, and why
liam 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 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 — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

pnpm testfor unit,pnpm test:e2efor Playwright,pnpm test:coveragefor V8 coverage.
Commit & Pull Requests
- Commit style: Conventional Commits (e.g.,
feat:,fix:,chore(deps): ...). - Before pushing:
pnpm fmt && pnpm lint && pnpm test. - PRs: clear description, linked issues, screenshots for UI changes, and note any env or migration impacts.
- Versioning: If you change a publishable package, add a changeset:
pnpm changeset.
Security & Configuration
- Environment: use
.env/.env.local(created automatically bypnpm prebuild). Never commit secrets. - Sync Vercel envs (optional):
pnpm vercel:env-pulland link withpnpm vercel:link. - Common vars:
NEXT_PUBLIC_*, Sentry keys, and job runner tokens (seeturbo.jsonenv list).
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.
