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 | $0.00346 | $0.00346 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00173 | $0.00173 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00069 | $0.00069 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00035 | $0.00035 |
Grade A, and why
emoji-usage 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 yesterday.
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
Emoji Usage Guidelines
Context
- Emojis can enhance communication and add personality to responses.
- Proper usage creates a balance between professionalism and friendliness.
- Strategic placement and selection improves user experience.
Critical rules
- Use emojis purposefully to enhance meaning, not as decoration.
- Place emojis at the end of statements or sections.
- Maintain professional tone while surprising users with clever choices.
- Limit emoji usage to 1-2 per major section.
- Choose emojis that are both fun and contextually appropriate.
- Never place emojis at the beginning or middle of statements.
- Prefer emojis that enhance understanding of technical concepts.
- Avoid overused or ambiguous emojis that might be misinterpreted.
- Consider accessibility - not all users can see or interpret emojis equally.
- Ensure emojis render properly across different platforms.

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.

emoji-usage is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository mitas/cursor-rules (2 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 346 tokens to every session, about $0.0017 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.
