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 | $0.00042 | $0.03029 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00021 | $0.01515 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00606 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00303 |
Grade A, and why
squid-scaffold 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 3d 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 — 173 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Scaffold
Interactive bootstrap for a new repo (or a new component in an existing one): read only the specs under specs/ that apply, distil them into a tailored AGENTS.md, lay down an empty skeleton, hand back.
Modes
$ARGUMENTS may lead with mode=create (default) or mode=evaluate:
mode=create(default) — bootstrap a repo / component. The flow in "## Flow" below.mode=evaluate— audit an existing scaffolded repo for drift (report-only). Formode=evaluate, readevaluate.mdand follow E1–E4 instead of the Flow.
Every rule both modes honour lives in rules.md — the single source of truth; mode=create follows every P# + I# while composing, mode=evaluate audits the I#. Do not restate any rule in this file.
When to use
- Bootstrapping a brand-new repo.
- Adding a new runtime component (backend / frontend-web / frontend-tui) to an existing scaffolded repo.
- Re-generating the root
AGENTS.mdafter a major stack change (e.g. swapping Vue for React).
When NOT to use
- Authoring application source or business logic (
P1). - Adjusting opinions inside an existing project — edit the generated
AGENTS.mddirectly. - Non-polyglot single-package projects where the full machinery is overkill. (You can still use a single spec as reference, but skip the scaffold flow.)
Flow
1. Gather requirements
Use AskUserQuestion to collect answers. Consolidate where possible — one or two prompts, not a twelve-step interview. Minimum set:
- Project identity — name, short description, license (MIT / Apache-2.0 / proprietary). Name becomes the repo / root AGENTS.md title; slug is derived.
- Layout — monorepo (
packages/<c>/tree) or standalone single-package? - Components (multi-select; at least one required):
backend— Python service / pipeline / libraryfrontend-web— TypeScript browser SPAfrontend-tui— Go terminal UI
- Backend variant (if backend chosen):
fastapi-service/fastmcp-server/cli-tool-python/library-only. - Frontend-web framework (if frontend-web chosen):
react/vue/svelte/vanilla. - Frontend-tui framework (if frontend-tui chosen):
bubbletea(default) /tview. - Shared OpenAPI contracts (only if backend + ≥1 frontend): yes / no.
- Infra (multi-select):
docker,github-actions,pre-commit-hooks. - Agent team + tracker? yes (recommended) / no. Also: file-based tracker or GitHub Issues?
- Process & documentation (multi-select, optional):
adr(Architecture Decision Records underdocs/adr/),ubiquitous-language(project glossary atdocs/glossary.md). Recommendadrfor any project expected to live > 6 months; recommendubiquitous-languagefor backend services with named domain entities. - External services (optional, multi-select — skip any category that doesn't apply). Each selection pulls a
specs/<category>-<choice>.mdstub and emits a one-line bullet into the generated AGENTS.md, wrapped perI9:
- Datastore:
mongodb/postgresql/redis/sqlite/other/none - Orchestrator:
prefect/dagster/temporal/other/none - Observability & evals:
opik/opentelemetry/sentry/other/none - LLM API:
anthropic/openai/gemini/other/none - Embedding API:
voyageai/openai/sentence-transformers/other/none - Model serving:
modal/replicate/other/none - Web scraping:
firecrawl/playwright/requests-bs4/other/none

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.

squid-scaffold is a skill published in the GitHub repository iusztinpaul/squid (184 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 3,029 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
