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 | $0.00376 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00150 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00075 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00038 |
Grade A, and why
shell-scripts 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 1mo 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
Shell Script Standards
General Requirements
- Use
set -euo pipefailat the top of scripts - Maintain backward compatibility when modifying existing scripts
- Test with both Podman (
podman compose) and Docker (docker compose) - Document any breaking changes in commit messages and relevant docs
- Follow the existing color-coded output convention (RED=errors, GREEN=success, YELLOW=warnings, BLUE=info)
Key Scripts Reference
Workspace Root
lab-- Unified CLI with subcommands:up,down,status,logs,helpbackup.sh-- Create portable backup archive of customizations and workspace files
rhdh-customizations/
apply-customizations.sh-- Copy customization files intorhdh-local/(called automatically by./lab up)remove-customizations.sh-- Compatibility check only; it never modifiesrhdh-local/
rhdh-local/ (PRISTINE -- do not modify unless contributing upstream)
wait-for-plugins-and-start.sh-- RHDH entrypoint: waits for plugins, merges config, starts Backstageprepare-and-install-dynamic-plugins.sh-- Plugin installer entrypoint: links config, runs install
When Modifying Scripts
- Update the script's header comment block to reflect changes
- If changing
labsubcommands or flags, updatedocs/scripts.mdanddocs/quick-reference.md - Ensure SELinux-safe bind mounts (
:Zsuffix) where needed
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.

shell-scripts is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository benwilcock/rhdh-lab (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 376 tokens. 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.

ponytail
Ponytail, lazy senior dev mode. Always pick the simplest solution that works.
angular-20
This rule provides comprehensive best practices and coding standards for Angular development, focusing on modern TypeScript, standalone components, signals, and performance optimizations.
dev-standard
Apache Superset development standards and guidelines for Cursor IDE.
prefer-assertions-over-defensive-checks
Prefer assertions over defensive checks when data is guaranteed to be valid.
prefer-direct-imports-over-module-mocks
Prefer extracting a testable core over vi.mock / vi.resetModules when unit tests need to reach production logic entangled with config, env, or singletons.
config-validation-and-normalization
Config validation and normalization responsibilities (defineConfig normalizes, the orm section schema validates and resolves paths, the loader reports per-section diagnostics).
