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 | $0.00723 | $0.00723 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00362 | $0.00362 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00145 | $0.00145 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00072 | $0.00072 |
Grade A, and why
engrava 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 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.

Repository context
This is a public repository (engrava) — Graph memory database for AI agents. License: MIT. Primary language: python 3.11+.
Assume every commit message, PR title, PR body, branch name, code comment, and docstring is world-visible. Public-safe by default.
Required reading before generating commits
CLAUDE.md— full context for this repo (quality bar, testing conventions, commit format, branching).CONTRIBUTING.md— contribution flow..github/copilot-instructions.md— architecture, naming patterns, scope reference.BRANCHING.md— branch naming + flow.
Commit hygiene
- Conventional Commits 1.0.0 —
<type>(<scope>): <description>. Types inCLAUDE.md. - Public release tags (
vX.Y.Z) and this repo's GitHub issue/PR numbers (#N) are your durable identifiers. - Generic feature descriptions and Conventional Commit headers are always welcome.
A pre-commit hook is provided locally to give you a fast feedback loop on commit-message hygiene. Run git commit and you'll see the check fire on any message that wouldn't be appropriate for a public open-source project.
Branch hygiene
Branch names: <type>/<kebab-description>. Plain English. No internal identifiers. ≤ 50 chars.
Examples:
feature/priority-signal-hybrid-searchfix/empty-count-on-mindqldocs/quickstart-update
Self-check before every commit
Before finalising a commit message, ask:
- Could this message, branch name, or referenced symbol reveal information about a workflow that should stay private?
- Am I using only durable public identifiers (release tags, this repo's issue/PR numbers)?
- Is the message format Conventional Commits?
- Is the branch name plain English in
<type>/<kebab-description>form?
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.

engrava AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository sovantica/engrava (5 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT.
