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 | $0.00828 | $0.00828 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00414 | $0.00414 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00166 | $0.00166 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00083 | $0.00083 |
Grade A, and why
the_y_coding_standard 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 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
The contract for any agent working in the_y_coding_standard repo.
Project Overview
the_y_coding_standard is a Claude Code plugin by Yash Singh. It encodes hard-opinionated coding standards for Python and React/Next.js, ships an AGENTS.md template, and runs a parallel-agent governance audit.
Stack
- Plugin format: Claude Code skill + commands + scripts
- Scripts: Python 3.13+ via
uv run --script(PEP 723 inline metadata) - Distribution: GitHub + Claude Code marketplace

Coding Standards
The plugin eats its own dog food. Follow skills/the-y-coding-standard/references/.
Hard rules:
- No em dashes in any file.
- No emojis.
- Python scripts: type hints, ruff clean.
- Markdown: clear headings, table-heavy.
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.

the_y_coding_standard AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository yashs33244/the_y_coding_standard (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 828 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 2026-08-31.
