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 | $0.00000 | $0.02543 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.01272 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00509 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00254 |
Grade A, and why
35-roots 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 274 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Roots / Radicle / Sage
Apply this rule only to Roots Radicle applications and Sage themes (typically with Acorn). Do not apply it to Laravel web applications, plain WordPress without this stack, React, Rails, or other non-WordPress projects.
For tasks involving WordPress menus, navigation, forms, ACF fields,
sliders/galleries, Sage/Blade templates, Acorn, or initial page/menu
architecture on this stack, follow this profile. The platform copy lives
at core/project-profiles/roots-radicle.md.
Architecture
- Follow Roots / WordPress / Sage conventions for the installed or
intentionally selected ecosystem (Current-First Engineering in
00-platform). - Follow Framework-Native First in
00-platform. - WordPress remains the source of truth for content, pages, menus, menu locations, menu items, hierarchy, labels, and URLs.
- Navi adapts WordPress navigation into structured data for Sage/Blade.
- Sage/Blade owns presentation. Frontend layout remains code-owned.
- ACF Pro is the preferred structured-content layer. WordPress owns native content; ACF owns intentional structured metadata. ACF is not a page builder.
- Keen Slider is the preferred slider/carousel/gallery library. Integrate it through Sage/Vite.
- WPForms Lite is the default forms layer for ordinary form needs. Gravity Forms remains a valid project-specific choice, not the default.
- A project-native provisioner may establish reproducible project-defined WordPress structure. It is not a runtime CMS.
- Acorn provides the Laravel-based application layer inside WordPress.
These stack preferences are subordinate to Current-First Engineering, Framework-Native First, compatibility checks, license/credential requirements, and explicit project ADRs/contracts. Do not force them onto existing projects that already have intentional alternatives.
Navigation
Log1x Navi (https://github.com/Log1x/navi) is the preferred navigation
integration for this stack. That preference is subordinate to
Current-First Engineering in 00-platform.
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.

35-roots is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository ConlinJoe/ai-platform (2 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,543 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.
