What is crate AGENTS.md?

A repository instruction file for thecrateapp/crate. It records the project's architecture, platform rules, testing policy, and development setup for coding agents.

It helps agents orient themselves, follow platform constraints, use the expected test process, and set up the development environment.

It gives an agent the project-specific rules it needs before changing code, reducing incorrect assumptions about how the repository works.

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 5.1	$0.02626	$0.02626
Opus 5.5	$0.01050	$0.01050
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00525	$0.00525
Haiku 4.5	$0.00263	$0.00263

Security

Grade A, and why

crate 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 today.

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.

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.
