What is ypi AGENTS.md?

Instructions for running ypi prose programs and long-running background tasks, including a notification when a task finishes.

Use them to launch ypi tasks in tmux, run work in the background, and continue working until a completion notification arrives.

They prevent the agent from repeatedly checking whether a background task is done. A sentinel file signals completion and wakes the agent when needed.

Token cost

What 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 5.1	$0.05026	$0.05026
Opus 5.5	$0.02010	$0.02010
Sonnet 5.5	$0.01005	$0.01005
Haiku 4.5	$0.00503	$0.00503

Security

Grade A, and why

ypi 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 2mo 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.

Running Prose Programs & Background Tasks

Launch long-running tasks in tmux with a sentinel file. The notify-done extension watches /tmp/ypi-signal-* and injects a message into your conversation when the task finishes — no sleeping, no polling, no tmux capture-pane loops. How it works:

Idle → triggerTurn fires immediately, you get a new turn
Busy (mid-tool-execution) → message is steered in, delivered after the current tool finishes
Either way, the notification appears in your message history and you respond to it

# Launch with sentinel (you'll be woken up when it finishes)
tmux send-keys -t eval:land "cd ~/Documents/GitHub/ypi && rp ypi .prose/land.prose; echo done > /tmp/ypi-signal-${YPI_INSTANCE_ID}-land" Enter
# That's it. Keep working on other things. You'll get a message like:
#   ⚡ Background task "land" completed: done
# ...and a new turn is triggered so you can respond to it.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT poll or sleep-loop waiting for background tasks. Do not sleep && tmux capture-pane in a loop. Do not check progress unless asked. Just keep working — the extension will interrupt you when it's ready.

Sentinel naming: /tmp/ypi-signal-${YPI_INSTANCE_ID}-{name} — always include $YPI_INSTANCE_ID so the signal reaches THIS instance, not a sibling. The {name} part appears in the notification. File contents become the notification body. The file is deleted after consumption. Key programs:

rp ypi .prose/land.prose — "land it" / "land the plane": tests, push, handoff
rp ypi .prose/release.prose confirm_release='Approved.' — cut an npm release
rp ypi .prose/check-upstream.prose — verify Pi compatibility
rp ypi .prose/incorporate-insight.prose insight='...' — propagate an insight across the repo

Version Control: Use jj, not git

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.
