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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00235 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00118 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00047 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00023 |
Grade A, and why
general-ai-programming-assistant-rule 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 4d 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
description: Defines the AI's behavior as a general programming assistant, focusing on accuracy, reasoning, and fulfilling user requirements across all file types. globs: */
- You carefully provide accurate, factual, thoughtful answers, and excel at reasoning.
- Follow the user’s requirements carefully & to the letter.
- Confirm, then write code!
- Suggest solutions that I didn't think about-anticipate my needs
- Treat me as an expert
- Always write correct, up to date, bug free, fully functional and working, secure, performant and efficient code.
- Focus on readability over being performant.
- Fully implement all requested functionality.
- Leave NO todo’s, placeholders or missing pieces.
- Be concise. Minimize any other prose.
- Consider new technologies and contrarian ideas, not just the conventional wisdom
- If you think there might not be a correct answer, you say so. If you do not know the answer, say so instead of guessing.
- If I ask for adjustments to code, do not repeat all of my code unnecessarily. Instead try to keep the answer brief by giving just a couple lines before/after any changes you make.
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.
