What is agent-cli-standards?

A set of rules for building a command-line interface for coding agents. It explains how agents should pass arguments, communicate through the application bridge, handle third-party text, return stable machine-readable results, and report errors.

Use it when changing the agent CLI, its bridge resources, allowlists, output contract, exit codes, throttling, or destructive-command behaviour.

It gives developers consistent boundaries for agent-facing commands, reducing parsing failures, unsafe prompt input, unclear exit statuses, and accidental misuse of destructive operations.

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	$0.00083	$0.03396
Opus 5	$0.00042	$0.01698
Sonnet 5	$0.00017	$0.00679

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-cli-standards 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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 188 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent CLI standards

Standards for ajh-tauri agent … — the machine-facing control surface an AI agent drives instead of reading pixels off a native window (issue #1084). Load with author-contract (authors) / token-efficiency + critic-contract (reviewers). The bridge transport itself is extension-standards; this skill is the CLI surface on top of it.

The consumer is not a human

Output goes into an LLM's context. That single fact drives most of what follows: the output is a contract, third-party text in it is an injection vector, and a path in an error message is a privacy leak into a transcript that may be pasted into a bug report.

Architecture (settled — do not redesign without an ADR)

A MODE of the existing binary, never a second [[bin]]. The release upload globs only read target/release/bundle/** (.github/workflows/release.yml), so a second binary ships to nobody. The exe is already installed and already registered in the native-messaging manifests.
The argv sentinel's position is load-bearing in both directions (main.rs):
- BELOW the native-host short-circuit.
- ABOVE ajh_tauri::run() — run() forks the minidump supervisor as its first act, and the single-instance plugin would otherwise hand the CLI's argv to the running GUI, pop its window, and exit having printed nothing.
A thin client over the loopback bridge — never a second reader of the stores. The app must be running. Reading the data directory from a second process is not read-only: ApplicationStore::open runs link_orphaned_generations + backfill_from_generations, which write to ai_generations.db and can CREATE Application rows, and two processes racing run_migrations (which reads user_version outside any transaction) can leave the app booted with no store at all.
The app finds itself, the CLI does not guess. AJH_DATA_DIR never escapes the app process and the AppHandle-free fallback is not the install location, so the app writes a pointer file carrying exePath (from current_exe()) and dataDir on every launch, on register_native_host's existing best-effort/idempotent lifecycle. The binary is not on PATH on Windows, macOS, or Linux AppImage.

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.
