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 | $0.01315 | $0.01315 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00526 | $0.00526 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00263 | $0.00263 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00131 | $0.00131 |
Grade A, and why
Ark-Space 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 today.
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 — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent Guidance
ArkSpace is a creative workspace for reusable Agent Skills and their supporting tools. This repository is a greenfield redesign; keep the existing ArkSpace repository unchanged unless a task explicitly targets it.
Start Here
- Read
README.mdfor product scope. - Read
docs/architecture.mdbefore changing boundaries, protocols, provider execution, credentials, or state. - Read
docs/migration.mdbefore porting behavior or fixtures from the existing project. - Read
INSTALL.mdbefore installing, upgrading, configuring credentials, or registering MCP for a user. - Read the relevant ADR before implementing or changing a decision it owns.
Project Contract
- Keep canonical Skills in
skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md. - Keep shared Node/TypeScript implementation under
src/. - Keep deterministic, self-contained Skill scripts inside the owning Skill.
- Let Skills depend on the
arksmachine protocol only when shared execution is necessary. - Do not require guidance-only, skill-local, or external-tool Skills to use
arks. - Support native plugin installation through manifests that reference canonical Skills directly.
- Keep plugin version metadata aligned only during an explicit release; do not create generated plugin mirrors.
- Add host adapters, roles, workflows, registries, or broader plugin systems only for a concrete consumer.
- Keep private credentials, endpoints, state, and personal configuration outside version control.
Design Workflow
- Name the user task and its completion semantics.
- Decide whether the behavior belongs in guidance, a Skill-local script, an external tool, or a shared capability.
- For shared capabilities, define the request, result, error, cancellation, and side-effect contract before implementation.
- Implement the smallest real vertical slice through the installed
arksentry path. - Verify behavior through contract, real-entry, isolated-Skill, and applicable cross-platform tests.
- Select tests by the change's impact: run the smallest relevant test file or command first; expand only when shared boundaries, generated artifacts, installation, or release behavior are affected.
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.

Ark-Space AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository arch3rPro/ark-space (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,315 tokens to every session, about $0.0053 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 2026-08-31.
