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 | $0.01253 | $0.01253 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00626 | $0.00626 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00251 | $0.00251 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00125 | $0.00125 |
Grade A, and why
moth 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 yesterday.
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.

AGENTS.md – Moth
Overview
- TypeScript/Node.js MCP server.
- Main goal: receive an error log through MCP and return a structured, source-backed fix brief.
- Moth v0.1 is a lightweight Skill + MCP plugin for validating project-local bug-fix workflows.
- Keep the MVP small, explicit, and deterministic.
- Do not build autonomous code editing, crawlers, vector DB, sandbox, backend service, or background watchers unless requested.
- Moth is read-only by default.
Environment
- Package manager:
pnpm. - Local dev should start the MCP server.
- Prefer simple scripts:
pnpm devpnpm buildpnpm test
- Use environment variables only for optional providers.
- Never require external services for the first working MVP.
- Local project memory should use:
.moth/fix-memory.jsonl
Testing
-
Unit tests should cover:
- secret redaction
- error normalization
- fingerprint generation
- stack/framework detection
- local memory read/write
- prior successful fix matching
- prior failed fix avoidance
- fix brief generation
- MCP tool input/output schema
-
A commit must leave the test suite green.
-
Use fixtures for common errors:
- Next.js
- TypeScript
- Prisma
- Vite
- ESLint
Coding Conventions
- Use TypeScript.
- Prefer simple, readable, deterministic code.
- File names are kebab-case.
- Keep modules small and focused.
- Avoid premature abstractions.
- Prefer explicit schemas for MCP tool inputs and outputs.
- Do not hide important behavior behind agents or implicit side effects.

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.

moth AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository stfade/moth (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,253 tokens to every session, about $0.0063 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 2026-08-31.
