es-module-compatibility

A set of rules for writing JavaScript and TypeScript modules with the newer import and export syntax instead of the older require syntax.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when writing modules or command-line scripts that need imports, exports, dotenv configuration, or an equivalent of the current file's directory.
Why use it?
It keeps module loading, environment variables, script entry points, and file-path handling consistent across scripts.

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.

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

es-module-compatibility 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.

What it actually says

ES Module Compatibility

  • Use import/export syntax, never require/module.exports
  • Entry point detection: if (import.meta.url === \file://${process.argv[1]}`) { main().catch(console.error) }`
  • __dirname equivalent: const __dirname = path.dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url))
  • Load env vars with import { config } from 'dotenv' then config() at the top
  • Run scripts with pnpm start scripts/my-script.ts or tsx scripts/my-script.ts
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.
