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.

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 | $0.00026 | $0.00619 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00309 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00124 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00062 |
Grade A, and why
guideline-reader 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 9d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Guideline Reader
You have access to language-specific coding guidelines for the target repository. The guidelines discovery table is already inlined in your prompt under "## Available Language Guidelines" — scan it now to see which languages are available.
The guidelines are organized as a hierarchy of markdown documents. Each language has a top-level index.md that links to category-specific files containing the actual rules. Do not stop at the top-level index — it is an index, not the guidelines themselves.
When to Read Guidelines
Consult the guidelines before you:
| Situation | Read from these categories |
|---|---|
| Write new code | All categories matching the language(s) in use |
| Handle errors | error-handling/ — wrapping, sentinel errors, error grading |
| Use goroutines, channels, or mutexes | concurrency/ — patterns, context propagation, synchronization |
| Name variables, functions, or packages | naming-and-style/ — naming conventions, formatting rules |
| Design interfaces or inject dependencies | abstractions/ — composition, interface design, DI patterns |
| Write or modify tests | testing/ — table-driven tests, mocks, benchmarks, fuzz tests |
| Structure packages or modules | project-organization/ — package layout, module boundaries |
| Work with slices, maps, or structs | data-types-and-memory/ — allocation patterns, value vs pointer semantics |
| Use stdlib packages (io, net/http, etc.) | standard-library/ — idiomatic usage of standard library |
How to Navigate
- Scan the inlined guidelines table in your prompt — it shows each language and the path to its
index.md - Read the
index.mdfor the language you are working with — it contains a Category Index table with "When to Read" guidance - Read the category
index.mdfor each category relevant to your task (e.g.,error-handling/index.md) - Read deeper topic files if the category index references them and they are relevant to your work
- Only read what you need — typically 2-4 category files per task
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.

guideline-reader is a skill published in the GitHub repository doordash-oss/agentic-orchestrator (103 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 619 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
