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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.01735 | $0.01735 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00868 | $0.00868 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00347 | $0.00347 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00173 | $0.00173 |
Grade A, and why
OpenBoringBar 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 4d 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 — 245 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
OpenBoringBar Agent Guide
AI collaboration entry for OpenBoringBar. Goal: deliver a stable bottom taskbar experience for multi-display macOS users in a transparent and contributor-friendly codebase.
Mission
OpenBoringBar is an open-source implementation inspired by boringbar.app. Priority is reliability of core behavior before visual polish.
Product Direction
- Keep focus on BoringBar-like core workflow:
- per-display bars
- running app visibility
- app switching
- Optimize for real usability and stability first.
- Build in public so contributors can inspect and extend behavior.
Technical Baseline
- Platform:
macOS 14+ - Language:
Swift 5 - UI stack:
SwiftUI+AppKit+ApplicationServices - Project generation:
CocoaPods(pod installmaintains project/workspace)

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.
