overview

A description of Bernstein, a system that coordinates command-line coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI. It runs agents in parallel, checks what they produce, and records the run for later review; it also includes an air-gapped installation option.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for parallel software development tasks involving multiple CLI coding agents, especially where output checks, run records, or offline installation matter.
Why use it?
It organizes work from multiple coding agents while adding checks and an audit trail. Deterministic coordination helps make runs easier to inspect and reproduce.

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

overview 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

Bernstein is a deterministic orchestrator for CLI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and 40+ more). It runs them in parallel, gates what they produce, and records enough of the run that you can check it afterwards. Air-gap install profile included. Apache-2.0.

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.

overview is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein (1,038 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 101 tokens to every session, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
