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 | $0.00262 | $0.00262 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00131 | $0.00131 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00052 | $0.00052 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00026 | $0.00026 |
Grade A, and why
knowerage 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
Agent instructions — Knowerage
This repository ships the Knowerage MCP server. When Knowerage MCP tools are available in your session, use them for any task that analyzes, documents, or explains legacy or source files in this workspace. Do not bypass Knowerage by writing knowerage/analysis/**/*.md with generic file-edit tools only, and never hand-edit knowerage/registry.json.
When analyzing legacy code (Java, XML, or other source files):
- Create analysis —
knowerage_create_or_update_docwith YAML frontmatter (source_file,covered_lines,analysis_date). - Reconcile —
knowerage_reconcile_recordafter every create or update to that analysis file (required). - Coverage — Reconcile updates
knowerage/registry.json; no manual registry edits.
For a full registry snapshot (same shape as registry.json), use knowerage_list_registry instead of opening the file by hand. “Analyze X” means the full workflow above; the user does not need to say “record coverage” or “use the MCP.”
More detail: INSTRUCTIONS.md, contracts/contracts.md.
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.

knowerage AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository MTimma/knowerage (3 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 262 tokens to every session, about $0.0013 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 2026-08-31.
