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 | $0.00396 | $0.00396 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00198 | $0.00198 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00079 | $0.00079 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00040 | $0.00040 |
Grade A, and why
build-brief 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 3d 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.
What it actually says
Contributor instructions
Setup and verification
- Requires the Go version in
go.mod(currently Go 1.26.1). Rungo mod download; build withgo build ./cmd/build-brief. - Before handing off code, run
go test ./...,go vet ./..., andgo test -race ./...when the platform supports it. Also usegofmt -won changed Go files,go mod tidy -diff,go mod verify, andgit diff --check. - CI runs tests on Linux, macOS, and Windows; Linux also runs the race detector. Its quality job enforces formatting, vet, module checks, shell syntax, and diff hygiene. Keep changes portable.
Architecture
cmd/build-brief: CLI entry point.internal/app: argument parsing and orchestration;internal/gradle: command resolution/classification;internal/runner: process and raw-log capture.internal/reducer,internal/output,internal/artifacts: summarize Gradle output and render results.internal/config,internal/doctor,internal/rewrite,internal/install: configuration and auxiliary commands.internal/tracking: local gains history. Local-only: gains history stays on this machine; no gains data is transmitted.site/is the static website;scripts/and.github/workflows/define release/CI operations;smoke/holds Gradle smoke fixtures.
Safety
- Preserve Gradle exit codes and raw-log behavior; do not change runtime behavior for documentation-only work.
- Treat
scripts/prepare-release.sh, artifact/formula scripts, and the Release workflow as release-only operations. Do not publish, merge, or release without explicit approval. - Keep this file concise; use
README.md, tests, and current code as the detailed source of truth.
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.

build-brief AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository static-var/build-brief (20 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 396 tokens to every session, about $0.0020 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
