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 | $0.00220 | $0.00220 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00110 | $0.00110 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00044 | $0.00044 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00022 | $0.00022 |
Grade A, and why
no-co-author-trailers 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
No co-author or AI trailers on commits
Never add Co-authored-by, Signed-off-by for an AI tool, or any Cursor/Claude/Copilot
footer to commit messages or PR descriptions.
This matches AGENTS.md: commits use Conventional Commits subject (+ optional body) only.
When creating commits
- Pass the message via HEREDoc or
-mwith only the intended subject/body. - Do not append
Co-authored-by: Cursor <[email protected]>or similar. - If a hook or tool adds a co-author trailer, amend it out before pushing (only when amend rules allow).
Examples
feat(soul): emit TodoListUpdated wire event

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.

no-co-author-trailers is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository PyModel/pythinker-cli (20 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 220 tokens to every session, about $0.0011 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
