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 | $0.03970 | $0.03970 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01588 | $0.01588 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00794 | $0.00794 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00397 | $0.00397 |
Grade A, and why
elves 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 16d 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 — 232 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Elves: Codex repository adapter
This file is a thin Codex adapter, not a second workflow fork. The compact
canonical workflow is SKILL.md — every contract below is a pointer into it or into one authoritative
references/ file, never a restatement. Differences here are invocation surface only;
workflow semantics, the safety kernel, landing policy, and acceptance identity are identical for
Claude Code and Codex (see references/host-parity.md).
The task-first user guide is published at https://aigorahub.github.io/elves/. This adapter and
SKILL.md remain authoritative when the guide is too short to cover an edge case.
Cobbler
Use Cobbler via $elves cobbler: <task>, $elves council: <task>, or natural language
("Ask the Cobbler…"). Do not invent top-level Codex slash commands; Claude Code managed aliases
(/cobbler, /setup-cobbler, …) are Claude-specific surfaces. Full Cobbler protocol: SKILL.md
## Cobbler.
Codex Goals are optional host continuation plumbing (references/codex-goals.md) — distinct
from Grok Build goal mode, the optional worker capability that is a
capability-proven enhancement with a recorded one-packet fallback; Grok models come only from the
authenticated live catalog (references/adaptive-worker-routing.md).
v2.24 run tools (host-neutral)
The v2.24 helpers — futile re-drive guard (redrive), learnings ledger (learnings),
observed-usage ledger (usage), salvage previews (salvage), and the continuity watchdog
manager (continuity) — are host-neutral CLI helpers with identical semantics on Claude
Code, Codex, Grok Build, and Oh My Pi: invoke them as
python3 "$ELVES_SKILL_ROOT/scripts/cobbler_agents.py" <verb> … from any host. They are
advisory instruments (never landing, merge, credential, or routing authority), there are no
per-host slash surfaces for them — do not invent top-level Codex or Grok commands — and the
workflow contracts that mandate them (SKILL.md worker-failure recovery, labor completeness,
Skill Memory) apply to all four hosts unchanged. Usage is filled only by
usage aggregate --records-file; close and reconcile do not write usage_observed.
See the guide's "v2.24 run tools" section.
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.

elves AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository aigorahub/elves (222 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 3,970 tokens to every session, about $0.0159 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 2026-08-30.
