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 | $0.01395 | $0.01395 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00698 | $0.00698 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00279 | $0.00279 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00139 | $0.00139 |
Grade A, and why
dataclaw 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 — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
DataClaw
Export Claude Code, Codex, and other coding-agent conversation history to Hugging Face.
THE RULE
Every dataclaw command outputs next_steps. FOLLOW THEM.
Do not memorize the flow. Do not skip steps. Do not improvise.
Run the command -> read the output -> follow next_steps. That's it.
Runtime guidance follows this checklist:
- Install
- Install skill
- Prep 3A. Choose source scope 3B. Choose project scope 3C. Set redacted strings
- Export locally
- Review and confirm
- Publish
The CLI tracks your stage as 1-4: auth -> configure -> review -> done.
dataclaw export (push) is gated - you must run dataclaw confirm first or it will refuse.
Getting Started
Run dataclaw status (or dataclaw prep for full details) and follow the next_steps.
Output Format
dataclaw prep,dataclaw config,dataclaw status, anddataclaw confirmoutput pure JSONdataclaw exportoutputs human-readable text followed by---DATACLAW_JSON---and a JSON block- Always parse the JSON and act on
next_steps
Key fields:
stage/stage_number/total_stages- where you arenext_steps- follow these in ordernext_command- the single most important command to run next (null if user input needed first)
PII Audit (Stage 5)
After dataclaw export --no-push, follow the next_steps in the JSON output. The flow is:
- Ask the user their full name - then grep the export for it
- Run the pii_commands from the JSON output and review results with the user
- Ask the user what else to look for - company names, client names, private URLs, other people's names, custom domains
- Deep manual scan - sample ~20 sessions (beginning, middle, end) and look for anything sensitive the regex missed
- Fix and re-export if anything found:
dataclaw config --redact "string"thendataclaw export --no-push - Run
dataclaw confirmwith text attestations - pass--full-name,--attest-full-name,--attest-sensitive, and--attest-manual-scan. It runs PII scan, verifies attestations, shows project breakdown, and unlocks pushing. - Push only after explicit user confirmation:
dataclaw export --publish-attestation "User explicitly approved publishing to Hugging Face."
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.

dataclaw AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository peteromallet/dataclaw (2,109 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,395 tokens to every session, about $0.0070 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.
