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 | $0.00647 | $0.00647 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00324 | $0.00324 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00129 | $0.00129 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00065 | $0.00065 |
Grade A, and why
hello-agent-cli CLAUDE.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.

Architecture
This is a Bun-based AI agent CLI with three usage modes:
- Single query —
bun run src/index.ts "prompt"callsrunQuery()for a one-shot response - Pipe mode —
echo "prompt" | bun run src/index.ts -prunsrunAgentPipe(), the agentic loop - Interactive REPL —
bun run src/index.ts(no args) launches the Ink-based terminal UI
Entry & Routing (src/index.ts → src/cli.ts)
index.ts fast-paths --version to avoid loading Commander. All other invocations delegate to cli.ts which uses Commander to route to the three modes above.
Agentic Loop (src/agent/loop.ts)
runAgentPipe() is the core agent loop:
- Calls the model with bash tool definitions (
src/tools/openai-tools.ts) - If the model returns
tool_calls, executes them viasrc/tools/bash.ts(Bun subprocess, stdout/stderr capped at 8000 chars) - Appends tool results to message history and loops until no tool calls or
--max-turnsis reached
Context Building (src/agent/context.ts)
buildSystemPrompt() enriches the system prompt with:
- Git state (branch, recent commits, working-tree diff) via
getSystemContext() .claude/CLAUDE.mdrules and current date viagetUserContext()
Results are memoized for the session lifetime.
Streaming (src/agent/stream-query.ts)
streamQuery() wraps the OpenAI streaming API and accepts an onDelta callback invoked per token — used by the REPL for live output.
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.

hello-agent-cli CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ricoNext/hello-agent-cli (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 647 tokens to every session, about $0.0032 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.
