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 | $0.00425 | $0.00425 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00212 | $0.00212 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00085 | $0.00085 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00042 | $0.00042 |
Grade A, and why
clean-code-skills 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 6d 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 — 35 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md
Instructions for AI coding agents working in this repository or in projects that install this package.
Use The Clean-Code Skill
Load and apply the clean-code skill before non-trivial code writing, editing, review, testing, or refactoring. Depending on the install target, the skill may live at skills/clean-code/SKILL.md, .github/skills/clean-code/SKILL.md, or in the agent's global skill registry as clean-code.
For decisions about complexity, change, scale, optimization, or interface design, also consult skills/clean-code/references/canon.md. It distills cross-canon principles from primary sources (papers, books, and large-scale industry experience) with attribution.
Required Agent Behavior
- Surface assumptions before implementation when they affect behavior, architecture, data, tests, security, or user-visible outcomes.
- Read local conventions before editing. Existing idioms beat generic advice.
- Keep changes minimal and directly traceable to the request.
- Prefer simple, boring code until requirements prove complexity is needed.
- Use names, structure, and tests to communicate intent.
- Make failure modes explicit. Do not swallow errors or invent silent fallbacks.
- Verify the claim you plan to make. Evidence comes before completion language.
- Distinguish essential from accidental complexity; only the second is yours to fix in passing.
- Treat every observable behavior of a multi-user interface as part of the contract.
Repository Development
When changing this repository:
- Keep root instruction files, Cursor rules, Copilot instructions, and the skill aligned.
- Do not copy proprietary or copyrighted source text into this repo.
- Keep
skills/clean-code/SKILL.mdunder the Agent Skills spec: front matter withnameanddescription, followed by markdown instructions. - Run
bash scripts/validate.shbefore reporting completion.
Review Bias
Prefer findings about behavior, maintainability, testing gaps, security, failure handling, and unnecessary complexity. Do not spend review energy on style issues that automation or local formatters already enforce.
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.

clean-code-skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Amartuvshins0404/clean-code-skills (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 425 tokens to every session, about $0.0021 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
