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

template GEMINI.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories โ€” prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency โ€” measured today.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to template AGENTS.md โ€” 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

๐Ÿšจ CRITICAL SYSTEM INSTRUCTION ๐Ÿšจ

Before answering ANY prompt or executing ANY code in this repository, you MUST first read and strictly adhere to ALL the rules defined in the following directory:

Rules Location

๐Ÿ“ .agent/rules/

๐Ÿšจ CRITICAL TOKEN LIMIT PROTOCOL ๐Ÿšจ

Do NOT load all files in .agent/rules/ simultaneously. You will exceed the context window.

You MUST follow this strict loading sequence:

  1. Load Core Fundamentals: Always read 01-general.md through 12-docs.md.
  2. Consult the Lazy-Loading Router: Read .agent/rules/00-index.md to discover technology-specific rules.
  3. Load On Demand: Based on the index, load ONLY the specific .md files relevant to your current task (e.g., react.md for a React task).

Why This File Exists

This project uses a unified rule system to ensure consistent AI behavior across all AI-powered IDEs and tools (Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, Cline, Claude, Gemini, Trae, Roo Code, Augment, Amazon Q, Kiro, Continue, Junie, etc.). This file is a redirect entry point โ€” the actual rules live in .agent/rules/ as the Single Source of Truth.

Failure to follow the rules inside .agent/rules/ and the Lazy-Loading protocol is completely unacceptable.

Slash Commands / Workflows

All AI slash commands and standard operating procedures (SOPs) are located in .agent/workflows/. If the user invokes a command like /speckit.plan, execute the corresponding markdown file in that directory.

Changes

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.
