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 | $0.01310 | $0.01310 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00655 | $0.00655 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00262 | $0.00262 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00131 | $0.00131 |
Grade A, and why
agent-ready-repo 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 4d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md — AI Agent Instructions (Root)
This file is the single entry point for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini, Windsurf, Cline, Aider, etc.). Read this FIRST before making any changes. Each app/package may have its own nested AGENTS.md with more specific rules — the nearest AGENTS.md to the file you're editing wins. Tool-specific pointer files (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, .clinerules, .cursor/rules/, .windsurf/rules/, .github/copilot-instructions.md, .aider.conf.yml) all redirect here — shared rules belong in this file, never in the pointers.
1. Project Overview (one paragraph, keep it current)
[PROJECT_NAME] is a [type of product] that [core value proposition] for [target users]. The monorepo contains [N] deployable apps and [N] shared packages.
2. Monorepo Map
| Path | What it is | Tech | Owner |
|---|---|---|---|
apps/web |
Customer-facing web app | Next.js 15, TypeScript | @team-frontend |
apps/api |
REST/GraphQL backend | Node.js, Fastify | @team-backend |
packages/ui |
Shared component library | React, Tailwind | @team-frontend |
packages/core |
Domain logic, shared types | TypeScript (no framework deps) | @team-backend |
packages/config |
Shared ESLint/TS/Tailwind configs | — | @team-platform |
infra/ |
IaC, Docker, K8s manifests | Terraform, Helm | @team-devops |
Dependency rule: apps/* may depend on packages/*. Packages may NOT depend on apps. packages/core must stay framework-free.
3. Golden Commands (always use these — never invent your own)
pnpm install # install all workspace deps
pnpm dev # run all apps in dev mode
pnpm dev --filter web # run one app
pnpm build # build everything
pnpm test # run all tests
pnpm test --filter core # test one package
pnpm lint # lint + typecheck
pnpm format # auto-format (Prettier)
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.
