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 | $0.00515 | $0.00515 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00258 | $0.00258 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00103 | $0.00103 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00052 | $0.00052 |
Grade A, and why
attention-please 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 40 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Repository Guidelines
Project Structure & Module Organization
scripts/attention-please.shis the main executable and contains all bash logic.SKILL.mddefines the Codex skill metadata and expected behavior.README.mddocuments install and usage; keep it aligned with script behavior.LICENSEand.gitignorelive at the repo root.- If tests are added, place them under
tests/to keep the root tidy.
Build, Test, and Development Commands
This repo has no build step. Run the script directly:
scripts/attention-please.sh— run inside a git repo to infer the project name.ATTENTION_PLEASE_PROJECT="quiz-juice" scripts/attention-please.sh— override the spoken name.ATTENTION_PLEASE_SOUND="/System/Library/Sounds/Ping.aiff" scripts/attention-please.sh— override the sound file.bash -n scripts/attention-please.sh— quick bash syntax check.
Coding Style & Naming Conventions
- Bash only; keep
#!/usr/bin/env bashandset -euo pipefail. - Indent with 2 spaces in conditional blocks.
- Environment variables are uppercase with underscores (e.g.,
ATTENTION_PLEASE_PROJECT). - Script files use kebab-case names with a
.shsuffix.
Testing Guidelines
- There is no automated test suite yet.
- Manual verification: run
scripts/attention-please.shinside a repo and confirm sound, speech, and fallback behavior. - If you add tests, document the framework and keep fixtures under
tests/.
Configuration & Environment
- macOS is required for
afplayandsay; the script prints a message ifsayis missing. - Run from a git repo so
git remote get-url origincan resolve a project name, or setATTENTION_PLEASE_PROJECT. - Avoid adding network or destructive operations; this script should remain side-effect light.
Agent Behavior
- Use the
attention-pleasescript to play the alert at the end of each turn or whenever user input/confirmation is needed.
Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
- Use short, imperative commit messages; current history shows
Initial attention-please skill. - Keep changes scoped; update
README.mdandSKILL.mdwhen behavior changes. - PRs should include a brief description, manual verification steps, and any OS-specific notes.
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.
