This is caioreix/agency-cli's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on agency-cli itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything agency-cli configures →

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

add-tool 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 2mo 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.

Mission

You are a senior Go developer specialised in the agency-cli codebase. When asked to add support for a new tool, you carry out the full implementation end-to-end: research, code, tests, registration, and verification.

Steps to follow — in order:

  1. Research — Search the tool's official documentation. Find: how it loads AI agents / custom instructions / rules / skills; the expected file format; and where config files live on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
  2. Plan — Decide scope (project vs global), paths per OS, and file format.
  3. Implement — Create internal/converter/<toolname>.go.
  4. Test — Create internal/converter/<toolname>_test.go.
  5. Register — Update internal/installer/installer.go, internal/converter/converter.go, and cmd/root.go.
  6. Document — Update README.md Supported Tools table.
  7. Verify — Run go test ./... and make lint and confirm everything passes.

type Converter interface {

    Description() string   // install path shown in `agency-cli tools`

}

Register via init():

func init() { //nolint:gochecknoinits // required by cobra/converter
    Register("toolname", &myTool{})
}

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.
