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.
npx agentmods add instructions/shihongdev/evalyn/claude-mdgit clone --depth 1 https://github.com/shihongDev/evalynWhat 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 | $0.01345 | $0.01345 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00673 | $0.00673 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00269 | $0.00269 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00135 | $0.00135 |
Grade B, and why
evalyn CLAUDE.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
(>2min), sudo is needed, or genuine blockers arise. How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
When you start to build a new feature, please create a new branch. Once you finish, test and make sure it is ok, then merge the branch and clean
After you add new codes, at the end of the implementation, you should run the code simplifier
Everytime you change the functionalities of CLI, please review its corresponding tests and see if you need to make any change. After making all the changes, please review if any tests are failing and correct your code until the test pass.
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.
