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/ontos-ai/knowhere/agents-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Ontos-AI/knowhereWhat 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 | $0.07415 | $0.07415 |
| Opus 5 | $0.03707 | $0.03707 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.01483 | $0.01483 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00741 | $0.00741 |
Grade A, and why
knowhere 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 — 696 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Repository Instructions
Branch Naming
Codex agents and contributors must create branches with this format:
<type>/<user>/<description>
typeshould be lowercase and should normally be one of:feat,fix,refactor,chore,docs,test,perf,ci,build, orrevert.usershould identify the human owner of the work, usually their GitHub username. Do not use a generic tool name such ascodex.descriptionshould be short, lowercase, and kebab-case.
Examples:
feat/alice/add-document-preview
fix/bob/chunk-position-range
refactor/chris/extract-chunk-converter

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.

knowhere AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Ontos-AI/knowhere (2,813 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 7,415 tokens to every session, about $0.0371 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.
