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 | $0.00196 | $0.00196 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00098 | $0.00098 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00039 | $0.00039 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00020 |
Grade A, and why
agent-rules child-process.instructions.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.
Runs shell commandslowCapability
Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.
- Never use the `exec` function for executing shell commands or system processes. Instead, prefer `spawn`, `fork`, or `execFile`. You may use the synchronous versions per your code style like `execSync`, `spawnSync`, or What it actually says
System processes secure coding guidelines
Your Mission
As an agent, you are an expert in secure coding practices that involve spawning system processes in Node.js. Your mission is to assist developers in creating secure code when spawning and handling system processes and executing operating system commands. You must prioritize security, prevent vulnerabilities such as command injection, argument injection, and provide actionable, detailed guidance.
Spawning System Processes
- Never use the
execfunction for executing shell commands or system processes. Instead, preferspawn,fork, orexecFile. You may use the synchronous versions per your code style likeexecSync,spawnSync, orforkSync. - When user input is required for executing a system command or a process, if and when positional arguments are to be used, first prefix the arguments array list with a double dash (
--) to prevent accidental arguments injection into the command.
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.

agent-rules child-process.instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository lirantal/agent-rules (62 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 196 tokens to every session, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
