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 | $0.10031 | $0.10031 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.04012 | $0.04012 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.02006 | $0.02006 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.01003 | $0.01003 |
Grade C, and why
ralphy AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 2 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.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.
- **If the user wants a clean slate**, use `ralphy project delete <id>` (registry-aware) or wait for explicit `rm -rf` permission scoped to a named path. Never volunteer a cleanup. Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
1. **Only registered provider connectors may hold keys / hit provider hosts — no ad-hoc curl.** Keys flow through a connector's own `envVar` (`OPENROUTER_API_KEY`, `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY`, `FAL_KEY`, `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY`, `A How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 178 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md — playbook router
The authoritative domain state is SQLite under the explicit .ralphy data
root. Normal commands and bridge handlers use explicit --workspace scope or
an immutable Session; registry/current-Workspace pointers and legacy control
files are not authoritative. Portable transfer uses workspace.export and
workspace.import.
This file is
@-imported byCLAUDE.md, so it's always in the system prompt. It is the routing contract for every user request.
Current ralphy CLI:
v0.3.0(released 2026-06-02). Verify the user's binary viaralphy --version. If it lags this version, suggestbrew upgrade ralphy(macOS) ornpm update -g @alecs5am/ralphy(cross-platform) so they pick up the fixes documented in this routing table.
Product and repository ownership
The Ralphy desktop application is the primary product. This repository owns both the application in apps/desktop/ and the runtime/standalone CLI in cli/. Read apps/desktop/AGENTS.md before changing the application. Use the documented CLI/bridge contract between the application and runtime; keep runtime code independent of the application package.
Run the desktop only from this repository root. Use bun run dev for Electron + Vite hot reload and bun run start for a production-style local build; both enter the pinned Bun runtime, rebuild the current Core binary, and pass its absolute path to Electron. bun run dev deliberately reuses the packaged app's ralphy-media profile, so saved provider keys plus Codex/Claude Code installations and sessions remain available. Use bun run dev:renderer only for browser fixtures. Never launch electron ., Vite, or apps/desktop scripts directly for normal development, and never launch the historical sibling checkout ../ralphy-desktop. Before starting, close stale Electron instances from other Ralphy checkouts; leave only the process whose app path is this repository's apps/desktop and whose dev renderer is http://127.0.0.1:4180.
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.

ralphy AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository alecs5am/ralphy (140 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 10,031 tokens to every session, about $0.0401 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
