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 | $0.00207 | $0.00207 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00083 | $0.00083 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00041 | $0.00041 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00021 |
Grade A, and why
isnad 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 10d 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
Rules for AI agents working in this repo
- The maintainer approves every change before it's made. Propose first; don't act on your own.
- No new files (docs, reports, plans, notes) unless the maintainer asks for that file.
- No emoji. No self-describing adjectives (honest, rigorous, robust, powerful).
- No issue numbers or paper section references in code comments or docstrings.
- Never claim conformity or compliance with any regulation or standard. ISNAD produces evidence; it doesn't certify.
- Never edit a published number by hand. Numbers come from committed results files and are regenerated by script.
- Never weaken or remove a stated limitation without the maintainer's approval.
- Don't use review panels or personas to generate content.
- Keep public names stable. Deprecate before removing, and only in a major version.
- Show the git diff after every edit and confirm nothing outside the requested change moved.
- Merging to main publishes a release. Only the maintainer merges.
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.
