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 | $0.00864 | $0.00864 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00432 | $0.00432 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00173 | $0.00173 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00086 | $0.00086 |
Grade A, and why
coding-agent-runner 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 — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md - coding-agent-runner
Project
coding-agent-runner is a Node.js package for running local coding-agent CLIs from application code.
Supported providers:
codex/codex-cli: Codex app-server over stdio JSON-RPC.claude/claude-code-cli: Claude Code nativestream-json.cursor/cursor-cli: Cursor Agent over ACP.opencode/opencode-cli: OpenCode over ACP.pi/pi-cli: Pi ACP.
Boundaries
- Do not import AI Workbench code, Electron code, server code, database code, or app-specific task queues.
- Keep this package Node-only and publishable as a standalone npm package.
- Do not add provider installation, login, credential storage, billing, UI, or sandbox policy.
- Do not require real provider credentials in tests or CI.
- Keep provider protocol code behind small public APIs and package-owned types.
Public API
Friendly APIs use short provider ids:
detectCliAgents()createCodingAgentRunner()streamCliAgent()runCliAgent()
Top-level runner options include model, systemPrompt, mcpServers, and skills. Keep provider-specific mappings covered by tests when changing them:
- Codex maps
mcpServersto app-serverconfig.mcp_serversand sendsskillsas structured skill input blocks plusdeveloperInstructionsskill references. - Claude maps
mcpServersto--mcp-config; skill references are appended to the system prompt. - ACP providers pass
mcpServersthrough session setup; skill references are wrapped into the fallback system prompt.
Lower-level APIs remain exported for advanced callers:
runAgentTurn()runCodexTurn()/acquireCodexAppServer()runClaudeNative()AcpConnectionmapStreamEventToAgentEvents()buildDefaultSpawn()/listProviderConfigs()
Development
Use npm, not yarn or pnpm, in this repository.
Run local verification before claiming completion:
npm run typecheck
npm test
npm run build
npm pack --dry-run
npm run check runs typecheck, tests, and build. It does not run npm pack --dry-run, so run pack separately before release-related 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.

coding-agent-runner AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository yinguangyao/coding-agent-runner (23 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 864 tokens to every session, about $0.0043 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.
