A development guide for OpenHound collectors, which gather and transform information into the OpenHound graph. It covers planning, schemas, source collection, assets, registration, and validation.

Use it when designing or modifying an OpenHound collector, including its API client, graph nodes and edges, preprocessing, registration, or validation.

It directs collector work to the project's required standards and task-specific references, helping keep new or changed collectors compatible with the system.

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	$0.00032	$0.00597
Opus 5.5	$0.00013	$0.00239
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00006	$0.00119
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00060

Security

Grade A, and why

openhound 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.

OpenHound Development Skill

Use this skill for any OpenHound collector task.

Critical Rules (Always apply)

Read .agents/standards/openhound.md before editing collector code. This includes important standards and best practices for OpenHound collector development that are not repeated in the reference docs.
Based on the requested task, select the matching reference from the routing table. These contain specific rules and examples for different types of collector work.
For broad collector work, or when creating a new collector, read .agents/standards/workflow.md.
Important: Before finishing collector and graph behavior changes read references/validate-extension.md.

Route By Task

Task	Reference
Plan a new collector from API docs, sample responses, or requirements	`references/plan-collector.md`
Define graph base classes, common properties, node IDs, or edge properties	`references/graph-schema.md`
Register `collect`, `preproc`, `convert`, metadata, or entry points	`references/register-extension.md`
Implement API clients, auth, DLT resources, transformers, or secrets	`references/source-collection.md`
Add or modify models, node assets, edge assets, kind constants, or exports	`references/add-asset.md`
Add DuckDB transforms, lookup methods, lookup registration, or `self._lookup` usage	`references/preproc-lookup.md`
Validate collector changes before finishing	`references/validate-extension.md`

Routing Rules

If the task touches multiple areas, read every matching reference.
If adding or changing collector behavior, always read references/validate-extension.md before finishing.
If the task involves a new collector or broad redesign, start with references/plan-collector.md.
If models use self._lookup, also read references/preproc-lookup.md and references/register-extension.md.
If adding a new collected resource, usually read references/source-collection.md, references/add-asset.md, and references/validate-extension.md.

Changes

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.

openhound is a skill published in the GitHub repository SpecterOps/ConfigManBearPig (157 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 597 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
