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.
npx agentmods add instructions/nvidia-ai-blueprints/rag/claude-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/NVIDIA-AI-Blueprints/ragWhat 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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.01215 | $0.01215 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00607 | $0.00607 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00243 | $0.00243 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00121 | $0.00121 |
Grade A, and why
rag CLAUDE.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 yesterday.
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 — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
NVIDIA RAG Blueprint
Reference implementation for a Retrieval Augmented Generation pipeline. Python 3.11+ backend (FastAPI + LangChain), React/TypeScript frontend, deployable via Docker Compose or Helm.

Code conventions
- Python: Ruff for linting and formatting (line-length 88, double quotes, space indent). Config in
pyproject.toml. - Type hints: Required on all function signatures.
- Imports: Sorted by isort via Ruff. No in-function imports.
- Tests: Mirror source tree (
src/nvidia_rag/rag_server/server.py→tests/unit/rag_server/test_server.py). - Frontend: ESLint + TypeScript strict mode. Function components with hooks.
- Env files:
deploy/compose/nvdev.env(NVIDIA-hosted NIMs) anddeploy/compose/.env(self-hosted). These are the source of truth for Docker deployments — shell-only exports are lost on restart.
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.

rag CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository NVIDIA-AI-Blueprints/rag (752 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 1,215 tokens to every session, about $0.0061 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.
