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 | $0.00822 | $0.00822 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00411 | $0.00411 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00164 | $0.00164 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00082 | $0.00082 |
Grade A, and why
opensrc 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Monorepo Structure
This is a Turborepo monorepo with pnpm workspaces:
packages/opensrc/— Rust CLI distributed via npmapps/docs/— Next.js documentation site
CLI (packages/opensrc)
The CLI is a Rust binary with an npm shim. The Rust crate lives in packages/opensrc/cli/.
- Build:
cargo build --manifest-path packages/opensrc/cli/Cargo.toml - Test:
cargo test --manifest-path packages/opensrc/cli/Cargo.toml - Format:
cargo fmt --manifest-path packages/opensrc/cli/Cargo.toml - Lint:
cargo clippy --manifest-path packages/opensrc/cli/Cargo.toml -- -D warnings - Release build + copy to bin/:
cd packages/opensrc && npm run build:native
Docs (apps/docs)
- Dev:
cd apps/docs && pnpm dev - Build:
cd apps/docs && pnpm build
Or from root: turbo dev, turbo build
Releasing
Releases are manual, single-PR affairs. The maintainer controls the changelog voice and format.
To prepare a release:
- Create a branch (e.g.
prepare-v0.7.0) - Bump
versioninpackages/opensrc/package.json - Run
cd packages/opensrc && npm run version:syncto updatecli/Cargo.tomlandcli/Cargo.lock - Write the changelog entry in
CHANGELOG.mdat the top, under a new## <version>heading, wrapped in<!-- release:start -->and<!-- release:end -->markers. Remove the markers from the previous release entry so only the new release has markers. - Open a PR and merge to
main
When the PR merges, CI compares packages/opensrc/package.json version to what's on npm. If it differs, it builds all 7 platform binaries, publishes to npm, and creates the GitHub release automatically. The GitHub release body is extracted from the content between the <!-- release:start --> and <!-- release:end --> markers in CHANGELOG.md.
Writing the changelog
Review the git log since the last release and write the entry in CHANGELOG.md. Follow the existing format and voice. Group changes under ### New Features, ### Bug Fixes, ### Improvements, etc. Bold the feature/fix name, then describe it concisely. Reference PR numbers in parentheses.
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.

opensrc AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository vercel-labs/opensrc (2,974 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 822 tokens to every session, about $0.0041 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.
