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 | $0.02656 | $0.02656 |
| Opus 5 | $0.01328 | $0.01328 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00531 | $0.00531 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00266 | $0.00266 |
Grade A, and why
tell-proof 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 3d 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 — 177 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AGENTS.md — Cursor Agent instructions
You are building Tell: an AI taste critic for rendered UI. Read USER_STORY.md first — every feature serves Ashish's journey (solo founder, shipped with Cursor, UI looks generic, demo tomorrow).
Mission
Capture rendered UI → deterministic fingerprint → detect tells + drift → taste verdict → voice art-direction → redesign diff → apply in Cursor (human approves).
Non-negotiables
- Deterministic core —
packages/corehas zero LLM calls. Taste/redesign only. - Never auto-apply — MCP
tell_applyreturns patches; human applies. - Schemas — all boundaries use
@tell/schemazod types. - Tokens only in
apps/web— no raw hex in classNames (dogfood). - User-first copy — critic voice, problem-oriented, see USER_STORY copy bank.
- Measured reconciliation — any after-state must preserve readable contrast and explain the measured improvement.
- Build order — follow BUILD.md §8 milestones M1→M10; protect cut line.

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.

tell-proof AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ashishpatill/tell-proof (1 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,656 tokens to every session, about $0.0133 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 2026-09-03.
