Agno is a framework and runtime for building, running, and managing platforms made of AI agents. Developers use its SDK, service runtime, and web interface to create agent applications with storage, integrations, APIs, and operational controls; the catalogue entries provide agent-oriented workflows and configuration for using Agno.

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 | $0.01845 | $0.01845 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00738 | $0.00738 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00369 | $0.00369 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00185 | $0.00185 |
Grade A, and why
agno CLAUDE.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 28d 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.
This is a copy
86% identical to agno AGENTS.md — 260 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 259 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Repository Structure
.
├── libs/agno/agno/ # Core framework code
├── cookbook/ # Examples, patterns and test cases (organized by topic)

Conductor Notes
When working in Conductor, you can use the .context/ directory for scratch notes or agent-to-agent handoff artifacts. This directory is gitignored.
Setting Up Symlinks
The specs/ and docs/ directories are symlinked from external locations. For a fresh clone or new workspace, create these symlinks:
ln -s ~/code/specs specs
ln -s ~/code/docs docs
These contain private design documents and documentation that are not checked into the repository.
Virtual Environments
This project uses two virtual environments:
| Environment | Purpose | Setup |
|---|---|---|
.venv/ |
Development and cookbooks: demo dependencies, tests, formatting, validation | ./scripts/dev_setup.sh |
.venvs/demo/ |
Dedicated demos: same dependencies, separate environment | ./scripts/demo_setup.sh |
Use .venv for development tasks (pytest, ./scripts/format.sh, ./scripts/validate.sh) and day-to-day cookbook work.
Use .venvs/demo for running demos in a separate environment. The cookbook commands below use this environment and also work with .venv/bin/python.
Testing Cookbooks
Apart from implementing features, your most important task will be to test and maintain the cookbooks in cookbook/ directory.
See
cookbook/08_learning/for the golden standard.
Quick Reference
Test Environment:
# Virtual environment with all dependencies
.venvs/demo/bin/python
# Setup (if needed)
./scripts/demo_setup.sh
# Database (if needed)
./cookbook/scripts/run_pgvector.sh
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.
