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 | $0.00325 | $0.00325 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00130 | $0.00130 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00065 | $0.00065 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
session-recall 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.

What it actually says
Project guidance
Project knowledge lives under .project-docs/.
Before making a non-trivial project-specific claim:
- read
.project-docs/manifest.yaml; - follow
.project-docs/navigation.md; - search the routed locations and read the canonical record plus material related links;
- check status, freshness, and sources.
Use services/ for current systems, processes/ for exact actions,
decisions/ for rationale, reactions/ for conditional first actions,
bugs/ for known failures, and timeline/ for chronology.
Do not treat observations, stale claims, conflicts, recommendations, or unknowns as confirmed facts. Never store, quote, partially reproduce, transform, or echo secret values.
Change project guidance only through the project-documentation workflow at
the canonical editable source, .project-docs/agent-context.md. Do not edit
AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md directly; both generated targets are byte-identical
to the canonical source.
After every documentation mutation, run
python3 <skill-directory>/scripts/validate_project_documentation.py --project-root <project-root> --tracked-documentation. Add --include for a
new untracked documentation file. If canonical guidance changed, also run the
guidance synchronization script with --diff, --write, and --check.
Documentation work is incomplete until validation and synchronization pass.
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.
