QM is a shared work environment for coding agents that gives each employee and conversation an isolated workspace while allowing collaboration in Slack and on the web. Startups use it to run agents for individuals, teams, and company operations, with selectable harnesses and models. The catalogue entries extend QM with skills, instructions, and settings.
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 | $0.00032 | $0.00283 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00113 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00057 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00028 |
Grade A, and why
deploy-qm 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 1mo 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.
What it actually says
Deploy QM
Read ../../../deployment.md completely and follow it as the authoritative
workflow. Read only the selected provider reference. Read references/email.md
before collecting email secrets. Administrators can defer email setup and use
qm admin-login; ordinary email sign-in needs a transport. Read
references/slack.md only when Slack is requested.
A deployment needs a base model key and a way for people to sign in. Collect
both in the same pass. The base model provider is a deployment choice recorded
as modelProvider, not a setting to leave for the Admin page. Sign-in is either
the built-in auth broker, with optional email setup for an initial admin-only
deployment, or an external OIDC provider such as Slack. Read references/email.md
once the operator has chosen the broker.
Use the repository's installed @yc-software/qm dependency through
npm exec qm -- <command>. Do not require or clone the QM source repository.
Do not stop at infrastructure health: complete the acceptance checks and return
the handoff required by deployment.md. A web response without a generated
sidebar title is not a completed deployment.
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

deploy-qm is a skill published in the GitHub repository yc-software/qm (15,450 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 283 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.
