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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00156 | $0.00156 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00078 | $0.00078 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00031 | $0.00031 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00016 |
Grade A, and why
000-start-here 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 3d 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
START HERE (Genesis development)
Forked to start a project? Read GENESIS.md first — the rules below are for
developing Genesis itself.
All rules live in root AGENTS.md; read it, then docs/memory/ (context →
progress → decisions). The product ships from templates/ — any change there
needs a CHANGELOG.md entry.
Always on: follow templates/skills/ponytail/SKILL.md (write the least
code that works). End of session: update docs/memory/progress.md. Never
commit unless asked.
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.

000-start-here is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository 0xBeycan/genesis (11 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 156 tokens to every session, about $0.0008 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.
