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 | $0.00152 | $0.00152 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00076 | $0.00076 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00030 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00015 | $0.00015 |
Grade A, and why
rosetta query-core-not-adapter.instructions.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.
What it actually says
Query core, not adapter
Default to landing behavior in shared query logic.
- If a heuristic can help both MCP and browse, put it in
src/query.ts(or a shared pure helper), not only inmcp.tsorbrowse.ts. - Treat MCP-only or TUI-only heuristics as a smell unless the surface truly has unique needs.
- Keep adapters thin: formatting, transport wiring, and UI affordances belong there; retrieval logic usually does not.
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.

rosetta query-core-not-adapter.instructions.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository tikoci/rosetta (43 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 152 tokens to every session, about $0.0008 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.
