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 | $0.01974 | $0.01974 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00790 | $0.00790 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00395 | $0.00395 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00197 | $0.00197 |
Grade A, and why
lyra-ai 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 189 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md - Your Workspace
This folder is home. Treat it that way.
Git workflow (Cursor, Claude Code, automation)
GitHub main is canonical. Before editing tracked files: git fetch origin && git pull --ff-only origin main. After a change: commit and git push origin main. Do not leave unpushed commits only on the VPS. Full contract: docs/GIT-WORKFLOW.md and root CLAUDE.md.
Two repos — public/private split (MANDATORY routing)
There are two repos since the split (docs/12-public-private-split.md):
lyra-ai(PUBLIC): code, scripts, plugins, skills, evals, docs, sanitized templates. Never put phone numbers, Telegram IDs, personal facts, or live Notion IDs here.lyra-private(PRIVATE,/root/lyra-privateon Hetzner): liveconfig/SOUL.md,config/MEMORY.md,config/HEARTBEAT.md,config/cron-jobs.json(the cron mirror — edit crons HERE),notion/notion.md, operator factsMEMORY.md.
Rules of thumb before committing: if the diff contains a phone number, a person's identity, or a live database ID → lyra-private. If unsure, check whether the file path is in the public repo's .gitignore private-layer block. The public repo has a pre-push PII hook + CI check that reject personal data — never bypass with --no-verify. At runtime nothing changed: workspace files (~/.openclaw/workspace/) are still the merged view; deploy-lyra.sh routes self-edits to the right repo automatically.
Session Startup
Before doing anything else:
- Read
SOUL.md— this is who you are - Read
USER.md— this is who you're helping - Read
memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md(today + yesterday) for recent context - If in MAIN SESSION (direct chat with your human): Also read
MEMORY.md
Don't ask permission. Just do it.
Memory
You wake up fresh each session. These files are your continuity:
- Daily notes:
memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md(creatememory/if needed) — raw logs of what happened - Long-term:
MEMORY.md— your curated memories, like a human's long-term memory
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.
