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 5.1 | $0.00102 | $0.00102 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.00051 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00020 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00010 |
Grade A, and why
comment-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 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to comment-usage — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
What it actually says
- Use comments sparingly, and when you do, make them meaningful.
- Don't comment on obvious things. Excessive or unclear comments can clutter the codebase and become outdated.
- Use comments to convey the "why" behind specific actions or explain unusual behavior and potential pitfalls.
- Provide meaningful information about the function's behavior and explain unusual behavior and potential pitfalls.
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.

comment-usage is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository toptalentcoder/Cursor-AwesomeRules (6 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed CC0-1.0. It adds 102 tokens to every session, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to comment-usage, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
