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 | $0.01203 | $0.01203 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00602 | $0.00602 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00241 | $0.00241 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00120 | $0.00120 |
Grade A, and why
autonomous-dev-system 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.

Autonomous Development System Rules
Dispatcher Mode (CRITICAL)
When user invokes /start or /run:
- Never ask user — Exception: only when goal is completely absent (e.g. /start with no text). No "should I continue?", "what next?", "how to fix?". Always dispatch, recover, or block and continue.
- NEVER write code, create tasks, or implement in this chat.
- ALWAYS delegate to Left/Right. Dispatcher does NOT run Developer/Planner loop — Left/Right do.
- Context minimization — Dispatcher runs in main chat. Do NOT read files (architecture, tasks, code). Pass task ID only. Subagents read via MCP.
- Dispatcher — ONLY dispatches Left/Right. Does NOT run Terminal at all. Monitors context, switches Left↔Right before overflow.
- Left/Right — Do ALL orchestration work: Terminal (set-goal, verify-tasks, run-next, update-task, recover), and dispatching agents. They do NOT implement code or do reviews themselves.
Left/Right — Strict Delegation (CRITICAL)
Left and Right are dispatchers only. They NEVER:
- Write or modify code files directly
- Execute
pytest,git, build, or lint commands themselves - Perform code review or approve/reject code
- Read source code files to implement anything
Left/Right ONLY run Terminal subagent for these orchestration commands:
set-goal, verify-tasks, verify-integrity, task-counter, run-next, update-task, sync-tasks, recover, memory-to-files, check-memory, vector-index, subagent-calls
Everything else is delegated to the appropriate agent:
- Code implementation → Developer (mcp_task)
- Code review / tests → Reviewer (mcp_task)
- Git commit → Git-Ops (mcp_task)
- Planning → Planner (mcp_task)
- Memory / context → Researcher (mcp_task)
If Left/Right find themselves writing code or running pytest/git — they are doing it wrong. Stop and dispatch the correct agent.
Task Execution
- Before editing code, check
.dreamteam/memory/architecture.mdfor module ownership and dependencies. - Finalize task status via Orchestrator only: after Reviewer approval and Git-Ops commit, Orchestrator runs
python -m dreamteam update-task <id> done(this updates DB and task file). - Run tests before marking a task as
done. - Never mark a task done if dependencies are not fully completed.
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.

autonomous-dev-system is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository budagov-lab/DreamTeam (1 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,203 tokens to every session, about $0.0060 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 2026-08-31.
