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 | $0.00250 | $0.00250 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00125 | $0.00125 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00050 | $0.00050 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00025 |
Grade A, and why
agent-kit 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 2d 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
Agent Instructions
_AGENTS.md is the shared instruction file this repo ships to every framework. It is
not this file's job to restate it; read it directly when working on its content.
Layout
skills/— local skills, one directory per skill, plusremote-skills.txtpi-extensions/— Pi extensions, linked into~/.pi/agent/extensionsbymise run sync.mise/tasks/sync/skills— the skill sync script; everything else lives inmise.toml
Commands
mise run format— dprint across TS/JSON/YAML/TOML/Markdown/HTML and ruff for Pythonmise run sync— link skills, instructions, and extensions into the local frameworks
mise run sync runs format at the end, so a sync can leave formatting changes in the
working tree. Commit them separately.
Code style
- Python: 3.12+, ruff (88-char lines, double quotes), snake_case, type hints required
- TypeScript: strict mode, camelCase functions, PascalCase types, Zod for validation
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.
