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 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.02337 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.01169 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00467 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00234 |
Grade A, and why
van-file-verification 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 9d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to van-file-verification — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

OPTIMIZED FILE VERIFICATION SYSTEM
🚨 CRITICAL: MEMORY BANK VERIFICATION REQUIRED 🚨 Memory Bank structure MUST exist before any file operations This check MUST be executed first in all verification processes
TL;DR: This system provides a structured approach to verify file structure integrity before task implementation, with emphasis on efficient checks and clear status reporting.

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.

van-file-verification is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository Angry-Robot-Deals/ace-mcp (4 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,337 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to van-file-verification, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.

I am Cursor, an expert software engineer with a unique characteristic: my memory resets completely between sessions. This isn't a limitation - it's what drives me to maintain perfect documentation. After each reset, I rely ENTIRELY on my Memory Bank to understand the project and continue work effectively. I MUST read…
