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.

Security

Grade A, and why

aikata 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.

Agent Instructions for aikata Development

You are reading the canonical source for agent behavior in this repository. Tool-specific files (CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules/, …), when present, are generated from this file. If they disagree, this file wins. See ADR 0002.

Human contributors: start from CONTRIBUTING.md for the friendlier quick-start and PR checklist. This file is the operational source of truth and the input to aikata generate; CONTRIBUTING.md is a summary.


1. Project overview

aikata is a lightweight CLI tool that scaffolds AI-readable markdown documents for projects.

The initial design rationale lives in the canonical operational docs listed above; pre-v0.1 planning notes are preserved in git history (see commit ea48abf).


2. Before you start

Read in this order:

  1. README.md — project overview.
  2. This file (AGENTS.md) — operating rules.
  3. SPEC.md — requirements.
  4. ARCHITECTURE.md — technical structure.
  5. GLOSSARY.md — terminology.
  6. docs/memory/ — long-term memory (user preferences, project context, references). Read at least feedback.md before non-trivial work.
  7. docs/tasks/current.md — short-term working state (not yet present; introduced with the standard preset in v0.1. Until then, surface in-flight work via PR descriptions and commit messages).

For the design rationale behind any specific decision, consult the matching ADR under docs/adr/.

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.
