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 | $0.00233 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00093 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00047 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00023 |
Grade A, and why
text-encoding 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 11d 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
Text encoding ingress
- File text ingress returns valid UTF-8 or a binary or undecodable error through
textenc.DecodeToUTF8; never cast arbitrary bytes to text. - Check valid UTF-8 before the NUL or binary gate, and detect BOM-less UTF-16 separately.
- Route known images and binaries through their dedicated path before provider text handling.
- Do not choose a charset only from a chardet name or confidence. Preserve the concentrated non-ASCII second pass and guarded system ANSI preference.
- Keep the Devin fake's invalid-UTF8 rejection.
- This policy excludes grep and command byte semantics.
- Heuristic changes require Windows tests,
make check-windows, andmake lint-windows.
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.

text-encoding is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository coddy-project/coddy-agent (175 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 233 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 2026-10-05.
