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 | $0.00206 | $0.00206 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00103 | $0.00103 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00041 | $0.00041 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00021 |
Grade A, and why
opal 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.
What it actually says
Opal Project Guide
Opal is a coding agent harness built with Elixir/OTP for AI coding agents.
Architecture
- Everything is a Process - Agent loops, sessions, and tools are GenServers
- Cross-Platform - Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows
Components
opal/- Elixir SDK (agent engine, tools, providers)cli/- Terminal UI application
Built-in Tools
read_file,write_file,edit_file- File operations with hashline tagsgrep- Cross-platform search with glob filteringshell- Cross-platform command executionsub_agent- Spawn child agents for parallel worktasks- Task tracker for planning
Development
mise run dev # Run TUI
mise run test # Run tests
mise run lint # Check code quality
mise run release # Release
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.

opal AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository matteing/opal (58 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 206 tokens to every session, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
