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 | $0.00385 | $0.00385 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00192 | $0.00192 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00077 | $0.00077 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00038 | $0.00038 |
Grade A, and why
piper 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.
What it actually says
AGENTS.md
Read CLAUDE.md in full first — it is the authoritative source for coding principles, commands, constraints, layering, and branch/PR/issue workflow. This file only captures high-signal facts an agent would otherwise get wrong that aren't obvious from filenames or CLAUDE.md.
- Single package:
go test ./internal/store/.... Single test:go test ./internal/store -run TestName. - Before claiming work is done, run the full CI sequence:
gofmt -l .(it must print nothing),go vet ./...,make test, thenmake cross.make testandmake crossalone do not catch formatting or vet failures. - For unit tests of code that depends on
runtime.Runtime, useinternal/runtime.FakeRuntimefrominternal/runtime/fake.go. Real Docker is reserved for Docker integration and e2e tests, which must skip cleanly when Docker is unavailable. - Runtime environment configuration belongs in
internal/config; production packages must not callos.Getenvinline. TestEndToEndDeployfailing with "no response through Caddy" is usually not a code bug: any other Caddy holding:80/:2019serves the request from its own empty route table, and Caddy'sSO_REUSEPORTlets piperd's embedded instance bind alongside it with no error. Runlsof -nP -iTCP:80 -iTCP:2019 -sTCP:LISTENand kill any straycaddy/piperdfirst.- The layering rule is enforced by
test/arch. Adding aninternal/package means giving it a rank there; if a change needs that map edited to pass, check whether the new import is the actual mistake.
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.

piper AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository piperbox/piper (10 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 385 tokens to every session, about $0.0019 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 2026-08-31.
