What is agent-vault GEMINI.md?

A set of repository instructions for agent-vault, including how to maintain scaffolding, generate project context, author pull requests, and identify automated GitHub posts.

Use it when editing agent-vault defaults, changing generated-project behavior, creating pull requests, or writing GitHub issues and comments.

It keeps changes to the scaffold and project-generation scripts consistent and makes agent-authored GitHub activity identifiable.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00450	$0.00450
Opus 5	$0.00225	$0.00225
Sonnet 5	$0.00090	$0.00090
Haiku 4.5	$0.00045	$0.00045

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-vault GEMINI.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.

Origin

This is a copy

98% identical to agent-vault CLAUDE.md — 2 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

GEMINI.md

Purpose

This repository holds reusable scaffold files for agent-vault/.

Rules

Edit scaffold/agent-vault/ for defaults used in future project initialization.
Do not store project-specific context in this repository.
Generate project context only via scripts/new-project.sh.
When updating generated-project behavior, modify scaffold files and script templates together.

PR Authoring

For agent-authored pull requests in generated projects, follow scaffold/agent-vault/AGENTS.md section PR Authoring Standards.
Use .github/pull_request_template.md when present.

GitHub Post Attribution

For GitHub issues, issue comments, and non-review PR conversation comments, begin the body with:

> 🤖 **Post by {Model Name}** · via {Client Tool}

Use your actual model name/version when known. If the exact version is unavailable, use the best identifier you have.
If the post is specifically PR review feedback or a PR review-feedback response, use the review-policy format instead.
Never present GitHub posts as if they are the human account owner's personal opinion.
Prefer repo-relative paths or GitHub links over local filesystem paths in GitHub posts.

@scaffold/agent-vault/review-policy.md

Target Project Usage

In generated project vaults:

agent-vault/Templates/ is template source only. Instantiated notes belong in canonical runtime files under agent-vault/.
Start substantive work by reading agent-vault/README.md, agent-vault/context-log.md, agent-vault/plan.md, and agent-vault/coding-standards.md.
Skim agent-vault/open-questions.md for blockers and agent-vault/decision-log.md for active decisions relevant to the task.
Use agent-vault/context-log.md as canonical cross-session memory.
Use agent-vault/daily/, agent-vault/design-log/, agent-vault/context/handoffs/, and agent-vault/decisions/ for runtime artifacts when the workflow calls for them.

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.
