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 | $0.02030 | $0.02030 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01015 | $0.01015 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00406 | $0.00406 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00203 | $0.00203 |
Grade A, and why
agent-collab 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 — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
agent-collab — Agent Guide
Claude Code marketplace with two plugins that delegate work to other AI coding
agents: plugins/codex (community fork of openai/codex-plugin-cc) and
plugins/cursor (drives Cursor's cursor-agent CLI). Plain Node .mjs with
JSDoc types — no build step for runtime code, no dependencies beyond dev tools.
Commands
npm run verify # THE pre-merge gate: versions + build + native suite + Linux suite in docker
npm test # full suite (~2 min; caps file concurrency at 8)
node --test tests/<file>.test.mjs # one file
node --test --test-name-pattern="..." tests/<file>.test.mjs # one test
npm run build # regenerates app-server types + tsc checkJs
- Verify test results by exit code, never by grepping output.
tests/runtime-*.test.mjsand the cancel e2e tests spawn real detached processes; prefer targeted patterns while iterating, but run the full suite (or rely on CI) before claiming a semantics change is safe — "targeted" has missed pinned contracts before.npm testrunsscripts/run-tests.mjs, which caps file concurrency atmin(cores, 8). The process-spawning e2e tests starve their detached workers under unbounded parallelism on high-core machines (a 32-core box would run 32 files at once), so a ceiling is required — but a hardcoded--test-concurrency=8is an absolute value, not a max, and would raise concurrency on a 2-core CI runner, oversubscribing it and blowing the state lock's warn-and-proceed timeout (lost updates in the concurrency test). The runner'smin(cores, 8)caps high-core boxes without ever inflating low-core ones. Run a single file directly withnode --test tests/<f>.- Linux behavior is reproduced exactly by
docker run node:22with the repo copied in; ubuntu CI will agree with it. npm run verifyis the local merge gate;Required CIis the complementary remote gate and must be required in branch protection. The local gate runs version metadata, build, the native suite, and the full suite on Linux in docker (the Linux leg runs the ~40 win32-guarded tests the Windows run skips, so the two legs together cover more than either alone). A leg that cannot run is reportedUNVERIFIED, the gate printsINCOMPLETE, and the process exits 2 — never silently "passed" to a human or automation. Runnpm run verify:no-linuxonly when deliberately skipping docker.- Do not stream the docker leg's TAP output back over inherited stdio.
Doing so reproducibly failed 7 timing-sensitive shared-broker e2e tests that
pass every time otherwise — the pipe backpressure was being measured, not
the code.

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.

agent-collab AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository zebbern/agent-collab (32 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 2,030 tokens to every session, about $0.0102 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.
