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 | $0.00427 | $0.00427 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00171 | $0.00171 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00085 | $0.00085 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00043 | $0.00043 |
Grade A, and why
kanban-md 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 23d 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
Guidelines
Note:
CODEX.mdandCLAUDE.mdare symlinks toAGENTS.md. Only editAGENTS.md; both files stay in sync.
Universal rules
-
Use semantic commit messages:
feat: <short description> Explain the change in natural paragraphs without artificial line wrapping. - Use bullets when they improve readability. -
Update
README.mdwhenever user-facing behavior changes, including commands, flags, defaults, installation methods, or workflows. -
Document research in
docs/research/YYYY-MM-DD-<description>.md. When delegating research, require the subagent to create the report and return only its path so the primary agent can read the source directly.
Workflow routing
- For feature proposals, issue/PR product reviews, and design tradeoffs, use
kanban-md-principal-owner. It owns product-fit decisions, not permission to publish reviews or merge changes. Pair it with the relevant technical skills. - For repository implementation work, use
kanban-based-development. Board tracking and an isolated worktree are the defaults unless the user explicitly overrides them. - For task capture, board changes, triage, or status reporting, use
kanban-md. "Add ticket" means capture a task for later without starting implementation. Uselayer-Nroadmap tags, imperative titles,highpriority for explicit user requests and bugs,mediumfor planned work, andlowfor ideas. - For tests, bug fixes, snapshots, lint, or verification strategy, use
test-kanban-md. - For
config.ymlschema, task frontmatter, migrations, or compatibility fixtures, useevolve-kanban-md-formats. - For table, compact, JSON, output-selection, or renderer changes, use
design-kanban-md-output. - For releases, tags, publishing, or release notes, use
release-kanban-md.
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.
