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 | $0.00855 | $0.00855 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00428 | $0.00428 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00171 | $0.00171 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00085 | $0.00085 |
Grade A, and why
Patter 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 — 68 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Guidance for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenClaw, …) working
in this repository. Humans: see CONTRIBUTING.md — this
file is the same contract in agent-readable form. Read this before opening a PR.
Patter is open-source telephony infrastructure that connects AI agents to phone
calls. It ships two SDKs with full parity: Python (pip install getpatter,
libraries/python/) and TypeScript (npm install getpatter,
libraries/typescript/).
Non-negotiables (CI and reviewers block on these)
- Feature parity. Every user-visible feature lands in BOTH SDKs in the
same PR, with the same API shape and defaults. Names map
snake_case(Python) ↔camelCase(TypeScript); everything else (field order, default values, error classes) matches. No Python-only or TS-only public surface. CHANGELOG.mdin the same PR. Append an entry under## Unreleased(### Added/### Changed/### Fixed/### Deprecated/### Removed/### Security) for any user-visible change. Exempt: pure refactors, test-only, docs-only — note that in the PR description.- Opt-in, backward-compatible. New config fields are optional with safe defaults. Never change an existing default or require a new credential.
- Authentic tests. Tests exercise real code paths. Mock ONLY the
paid/external boundary (provider/carrier WebSocket, carrier HTTP) — tag
Python mocks
@pytest.mark.mocked, name TS mocks*.mocked.test.ts. - No secrets / PII. No real API keys, phone numbers, emails, or customer SIDs in code, tests, docs, or notebooks. Use env vars + placeholders.
- No external license headers or "ported from " provenance comments in source files. Naming a provider/carrier you integrate (Twilio, Telnyx, Plivo, OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Deepgram, …) is expected and fine; copying a competitor SDK's lineage/headers is not.
- Async everywhere. All I/O is
async(Pythonasyncio, TS Promises). Logger: Pythonlogging.getLogger("getpatter"), TSgetLogger()— neverprint()/ bareconsole.*in library code.
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.

Patter AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository PatterAI/Patter (1,042 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 855 tokens to every session, about $0.0043 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.
