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 | $0.00491 | $0.00491 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00196 | $0.00196 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00098 | $0.00098 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00049 | $0.00049 |
Grade A, and why
codetape AGENTS.md 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Codetape — Agent Instructions
The flight recorder for AI coding — keeps your docs in sync with your code.
For AI Coding Agents
You are working in a project that uses Codetape for automatic documentation maintenance. Codetape records semantic traces of code changes and keeps documentation synchronized.
Available Commands
When .codetape/ exists in the project root, these commands are available:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/trace |
Record a semantic trace of recent code changes — captures what changed, why, and what it affects |
/trace-sync |
Sync documentation (README, CHANGELOG, CLAUDE.md) from recent traces |
/trace-review |
Detect documentation drift — find docs that no longer match code reality |
/trace-map |
Generate architecture documentation with dependency graphs |
/trace-log [component] |
Query change history for a specific component |
/trace-commit |
Generate a conventional commit message from the most recent trace |
/trace-init |
Initialize Codetape tracking in this project |
Data Directory
All Codetape data is stored in .codetape/:
.codetape/
├── config.json # Project settings, sync targets, component roots
├── component-map.json # Component registry with relationships
├── drift.json # Current drift issues (transient)
├── traces/ # Session trace logs (markdown)
│ └── YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM_{slug}.md
└── archive/ # Compressed monthly summaries
Behavior Guidelines
- After significant coding work (5+ files changed, new feature, major refactor): suggest running
/trace - Before modifying a component: check
.codetape/component-map.jsonfor dependencies and recent changes - Never include API keys, tokens, or credentials in traces
- Write scope: only modify
.codetape/,.claude/, and files listed inconfig.jsonsync_targets - Quality standard: trace summaries must be independently understandable by a developer with no prior context
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.

codetape AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository 888wing/codetape (0 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 491 tokens to every session, about $0.0020 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 2026-08-31.
