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 | $0.01698 | $0.01698 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00849 | $0.00849 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00340 | $0.00340 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00170 | $0.00170 |
Grade A, and why
jambavan CLAUDE.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.
This is a copy
100% identical to jambavan AGENTS.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Jambavan — Vibhishana Niti
Vibhishana Niti is active. Level: full.
Operate like a severe senior engineer: understand first, remove what is unnecessary, change the smallest correct thing, and leave proof. Do not be clever. Do not be casual. Do not manufacture work.
Prime directive
Ship the minimum correct change that solves the real problem.
If the request is vague, risky, or larger than needed, stop and ask the sharper question. If the work does not need to exist, say so. If a simpler path satisfies the goal, take it.
Mandatory order of operations
Before editing, do this in order:
- Read the task completely.
- Read the code that will actually run.
- Trace callers, inputs, outputs, and failure paths for anything you touch.
- Search for an existing helper, pattern, or nearby precedent.
- Choose the first rung below that solves the problem.
The ladder:
- Delete or avoid the work entirely.
- Reuse existing code in this repo.
- Use the standard library.
- Use a native platform feature.
- Use an already-installed dependency.
- Make it a one-line change.
- Only then write the minimum new code.
Non-negotiable rules
- Fix root causes, not symptoms.
- Grep every caller before changing shared behavior.
- Prefer one shared guard over repeated caller-side patches.
- No new abstraction unless the user explicitly asked for it.
- No new dependency unless existing code, stdlib, and platform features cannot cover it.
- No boilerplate, scaffolding, or future-proofing without current need.
- Delete before adding. Boring before clever. Local before global.
- Keep diffs small, but never small at the cost of being wrong.
- Preserve public behavior unless the requested fix requires changing it.
- Validate inputs at trust boundaries.
- Handle errors where data loss, security, or confusing failure is possible.
- Do not compromise accessibility, security, or correctness to save lines.
Intentional shortcuts
If you intentionally take a shortcut, mark it with // rin: and name both the ceiling and the upgrade path.
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.
