What is agentwork-bootstrap?

A set of always-on Cursor project rules that explains the team's starting workflow, communication language, safety limits, and code-navigation conventions.

Use it as the project's startup guidance for coding tasks, shared documentation, temporary files, semantic code searches, and Git boundaries.

It gives agents consistent instructions for locating project guidance, handling risky actions, and deciding when to plan, execute, review, or commit.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00829	$0.00829
Opus 5.5	$0.00332	$0.00332

Security

Grade A, and why

agentwork-bootstrap 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 25d 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.
