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 | $0.00152 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00076 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00030 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00015 |
Grade A, and why
general-code-style-and-readability 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 3d 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: This rule applies to all files in the project and enforces general principles of clean code, readability, and maintainability. globs: **/.
- Write code that is readable, understandable, and maintainable for future readers.
- Aim to create software that is not only functional but also readable, maintainable, and efficient throughout its lifecycle.
- Prioritize clarity to make reading, understanding, and modifying code easier.
- Adhere to established coding standards and write well-structured code to reduce errors.
- Regularly review and refactor code to improve structure, readability, and maintainability. Always leave the codebase cleaner than you found it.
- Use version control systems (e.g., Git) to track changes and collaborate effectively.
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.
