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 | $0.00068 | $0.01539 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00034 | $0.00770 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00014 | $0.00308 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00154 |
Grade B, and why
automode-config scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.
Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.
(`~/.claude/settings.json`) and the shared file (`.claude/settings.json`) How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
automode-config
Write target is .claude/settings.local.json. The user file
(~/.claude/settings.json) and the shared file (.claude/settings.json)
are read for adoption candidates, never written without an explicit
opt-in flag plus a re-confirmation.
Three files
| File | Path | Classifier reads autoMode? |
This skill | Mode |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| User baseline | ~/.claude/settings.json |
yes | read-only (write only via --hoist) |
0600, warn on 0644 |
| Project local | .claude/settings.local.json |
yes | read + write, the main target | 0600 |
| Project shared | .claude/settings.json |
no | read for adoption; write needs --write-shared |
0644 |
Four sections
autoMode has exactly four array fields, all holding prose rules,
not Tool(specifier) patterns. There is no ask bucket and no plain
deny bucket; those belong to permissions.
environment: trust signals (repos, buckets, domains, services).allow: exceptions overridingsoft_denyfor the same target.soft_deny: destructive actions, overridable byallowor stated user intent.hard_deny: unconditional. Not lifted byallow, by stated intent, or by--dangerously-skip-permissions.
Each section accepts the literal "$defaults" to splice Anthropic's
curated baseline in at that position. Omitting it replaces that
section's baseline end-to-end, per section, independently. The skill
preserves the sentinel verbatim and never expands it; it warns on every
write that drops it.
Procedure
# 1. See what the three files currently say, and what the project implies.
uv run scripts/inspect_automode.py
uv run scripts/scan_project.py --json
# 2. Build a proposal (see below), then dry-run it for the canonical hash.
uv run scripts/apply_automode.py --proposal proposal.json --mode auto --dry-run
# 3. Commit with that hash as the gate predicate.
uv run scripts/apply_automode.py --proposal proposal.json --mode auto \
--approved-canonical-hash <sha256>

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.
- 9d ago First seen · 137 lines · 68 tokens per session scan B c8a1a12fbb52
automode-config is a skill published in the GitHub repository obeone/claude-skills (3 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 1,539 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
