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 | $0.00685 | $0.00685 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00274 | $0.00274 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00137 | $0.00137 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00068 | $0.00068 |
Grade A, and why
02-pattern-discovery 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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 85 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Pattern Discovery Protocol (MANDATORY)
Before writing ANY code, you MUST complete pattern discovery. This is not optional.
Step 0: Search Specs Directory (FIRST)
# Find similar implementations in specs
ls specs/*-spec.md
# Review SAFe user stories for related work
grep -r "As a.*I want to" specs/
# Check patterns referenced by past specs
cat specs/{{TICKET_PREFIX}}-XXX-similar-spec.md
Step 1: Search Pattern Library
Check patterns_library/ for an existing pattern that fits your use case.
Available categories:
| Category | Path | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| API | patterns_library/api/ |
User context, admin, webhooks, Zod |
| UI | patterns_library/ui/ |
Authenticated pages, forms, tables |
| Database | patterns_library/database/ |
RLS migration, Prisma transactions |
| Testing | patterns_library/testing/ |
API integration, E2E user flows |
| Security | patterns_library/security/ |
Input sanitization, rate limiting |
| CI | patterns_library/ci/ |
GitHub Actions, deployment pipeline |
| Config | patterns_library/config/ |
Environment config, logging |
See patterns_library/README.md for the full index of 18+ patterns.
Step 2: Search Codebase
# Search for similar functionality
grep -r "feature_name" app/ lib/ components/
# Find existing helpers
ls lib/
grep -r "helper_pattern" lib/
# Check for existing components
grep -r "ComponentName" components/
Step 3: Consult Documentation
Required reading before implementation:
CONTRIBUTING.md-- Workflow and git processdocs/database/DATA_DICTIONARY.md-- Database schema (SINGLE SOURCE OF TRUTH)docs/database/RLS_IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md-- Row Level Security (MANDATORY for DB ops)docs/security/SECURITY_FIRST_ARCHITECTURE.md-- Security patterns
Step 4: Architectural Validation
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.
- 1mo ago First seen · 85 lines · 685 tokens per session scan A 67d6af6d457a
02-pattern-discovery is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository bybren-llc/safe-agentic-workflow (424 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 685 tokens to every session, about $0.0027 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
