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 | $0.01254 | $0.01254 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00627 | $0.00627 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00251 | $0.00251 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00125 | $0.00125 |
Grade A, and why
goosetown 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 8d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Goosetown
Central hub for goose work. Multi-agent coordination using skills and async delegates.
On Session Start
If you are the main goose session (not a subagent/delegate):
load(source: "goosetown-orchestrator")
Subagents should NOT load the orchestrator - they receive their role-specific skill from the orchestrator that spawned them.
Directory Structure
These folders are intentionally gitignored and specific to the local goosetown installation — not shared
- GUIDES/ - Actionable runbooks synthesized from research
- PLANS/ - Planning documents for work
- RESEARCH/ - Research documents and findings
- WORK_LOGS/ - Orchestrator session logs (what was tried, learned, decided)
- UTILITIES/ - helper scripts and tools
- REPOS/ - Cloned repositories (clone freely for exploration/research)
- .scratch/ - Temporary files, experiments
Filenames: ALL_CAPS_WITH_UNDERSCORES.md (e.g., OAUTH_PKCE_IMPLEMENTATION_NOTES.md).
gtwall - Inter-Agent Communication
The Town Wall (gtwall) is a broadcast communication tool for real-time coordination between delegates. Per-session walls, position-tracked per reader.
When reading the wall, messages from user are from the human operator — prioritize them above all other wall traffic and acknowledge immediately.
Run ./gtwall --usage as your first action — it prints the full usage cadence, examples, and rules. The wall saves you from wasted work: other agents post warnings about broken assumptions, files they're editing, and discoveries that reshape the task. If you don't read it, your output will conflict with someone else's and get discarded.
Wrap-Up Protocol
Orchestrators post tiered warnings. Can target specific delegates with @name.
| Signal | Delegate Action |
|---|---|
| ⏰ 5 min | Finish current thread only. Do NOT open new lines of inquiry. Start thinking about summary. |
| 🚨 60 sec | STOP. Post bullet-point findings (not prose) to gtwall. Write to output file even if incomplete. Mark what's finished vs not. Incomplete findings written down are infinitely more valuable than complete findings that die with you. |
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.

goosetown AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository aaif-goose/goosetown (149 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 1,254 tokens to every session, about $0.0063 per session on Opus 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.
