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 | $0.03939 | $0.03939 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01969 | $0.01969 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00788 | $0.00788 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00394 | $0.00394 |
Grade A, and why
temporal-java-template 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 494 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Temporal Java Template - AI Assistant Guide
This document provides comprehensive guidance for AI assistants (like Claude, GitHub Copilot, or ChatGPT) working with this Temporal Java SDK project template.
Overview
This is a Temporal Java SDK project template designed for building reliable, distributed applications using modern Java practices. The template demonstrates core Temporal patterns through two practical workflows (HTTP and Crawler) while maintaining production-grade code quality standards.
Primary Use Case: Starting point for AI-enabled workflow development in Java, with emphasis on:
- Type-safe workflow orchestration
- Comprehensive testing patterns
- Enterprise-grade code quality
- Spring Boot integration
Tech Stack
Understanding these technologies is essential for working with this codebase:
Core Technologies
- Temporal SDK (1.25.2): Orchestration engine for building resilient distributed systems
- Java 21: LTS version with modern language features (records, pattern matching, virtual threads)
- Spring Boot 3.3.6: Application framework and dependency injection
- Gradle 8.11.1: Build automation with Groovy DSL
Data & HTTP
- Jackson: JSON serialization/deserialization (Temporal's default)
- Java Records: Immutable data models for workflow inputs/outputs
- RestTemplate: HTTP client for activities
- Jakarta Validation: Input validation annotations
Code Quality
- Checkstyle: Google Java Style enforcement
- SpotBugs: Static analysis for bug detection
- Spotless: Automatic code formatting (Google Java Format)
- JaCoCo: Code coverage reporting (80% minimum)
Testing
- JUnit 5: Modern testing framework
- Mockito: Mocking framework for unit tests
- TestWorkflowEnvironment: Temporal's in-memory testing with time-skipping
Development Tools
- Lombok: Reduce boilerplate (used sparingly, prefer records)
- Pre-commit: Git hooks for code quality
- Gradle Toolchains: Automatic JDK provisioning
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.

temporal-java-template AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository temporal-sa/temporal-java-template (2 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 3,939 tokens to every session, about $0.0197 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.
