Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: UserPromptSubmit hook event, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code.

This is meitalbensinai/rate-limit-monitor's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on rate-limit-monitor itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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.

Security

Grade B, and why

rate-limit-monitor AGENTS.md scanned grade B 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

Install instructions for AI agents

You have been given this repository and asked to install Rate Limit Monitor into the user's Claude Code. Do exactly this:

bash ./install.sh

Then tell the user: "Installed — restart Claude Code to activate it."

That is the whole task. Do not hand-edit settings.json yourself.

What the script does (so you can explain it if asked)

install.sh is safe and idempotent. It:

  • verifies jq is installed (aborts with a clear message if not),
  • backs up ~/.claude/settings.json (honors $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR),
  • appends the UserPromptSubmit guard hook without removing existing hooks,
  • sets the statusline, chaining any statusline the user already has (so their current prompt is preserved),
  • re-running it makes no further changes.

Requirements to mention if they fail

  • jq must be on PATH (brew install jq / apt-get install -y jq).
  • The usage data only exists on a paid Claude plan (Pro/Max/Team/Enterprise) and only after the first API response of a session. On API-key/free usage the guard simply never blocks (fails open) — that is expected, not a bug.

Uninstall

bash ./uninstall.sh

Restores the user's original statusline (or removes ours) and drops the guard hook. Also backs up first.

Do NOT

  • Do not also run /plugin install for this after install.sh — that would wire the guard twice. install.sh is the standalone path; the plugin marketplace flow in the README is the alternative for humans who prefer it.
  • Do not edit the shell scripts unless the user asks; configuration is via env vars documented in README.md (RLM_THRESHOLD, RLM_WINDOWS, RLM_OVERRIDE).
Changes

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.
