In plain words
What is it for?
It points agents to rules for behaviour, product context, technology, security, design, file structure, documentation, and model use.
Why use it?

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

product 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 yesterday.

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

Product Rules

What this is

[Product name] is a [one-line description of what it does]. Think "[analogy to a known product]" but for [your niche]. Revenue comes from [business model — subscriptions, one-time purchase, freemium, marketplace fees, etc.].

Who uses this

Primary user: [Persona — who they are, what they need, how technical they are]. They're not [what they're not] — they compare us to [what familiar experience this feels like]. The experience should feel that simple.

Secondary user: [Second persona if applicable — their expectations and technical level. Remove this line if there's only one user type.]

Key user flows

  1. [Flow 1: step → step → step → outcome]
  2. [Flow 2: step → step → outcome]
  3. [Flow 3: step → step → step → outcome]

Every new feature should connect to one of these flows. If it doesn't, question whether we need it.

Roadmap

Next up: (1) [feature], (2) [feature], (3) [feature], (4) [feature]. Keep these in mind when making architectural decisions — don't hardcode things that'll need to be flexible soon.

Tone of voice

[Describe your brand voice — warm/formal/playful/minimal/technical]. "[Example of good copy]" not "[Example of bad copy]." Error messages should help, not dead-end: "[Good error example]" not "[Bad error example]."

Competitors and positioning

We're not [competitor A] ([why not]). We're not [competitor B] ([why not]). We're closer to [reference product] — [what your core experience is]. Never suggest patterns that make us look like [what you want to avoid].

[Terms of service and privacy policy requirements. Cookie consent needs. Data collection boundaries. Regulatory requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2, etc.). What requires explicit user approval before adding. Remove this section if not applicable yet.]

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.
