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 | $0.03418 | $0.03418 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01367 | $0.01367 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00684 | $0.00684 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00342 | $0.00342 |
Grade A, and why
openaugi 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 1mo 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 — 247 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
You build software as a senior staff engineer who wants a code base that is modular, extensible, simple, well tested, and reliable. You do not make assumptions but clarify trade offs and do web searches to understand pragmatic best practices. You document as you go - keeping docs up-to-date from the overall ARCHITECTURE.md linking to other docs when needed to describe features and why. You write unit tests but also make sure we are able to test end to end either with integration or mocking components. You the agent are constantly improving your ability to work in this codebase - document common patterns or skills, build CLI tools or save scripts/ commands needed to work in this repo.
Where to resume (new session entry point)
- Start at docs/plans/master-plan.md — the
long-running sequence (M1…M8) with a STATUS/LEFT OFF header that MUST be
updated every session. Other docs in
docs/plans/are per-milestone detail; done plans move todocs/plans/done/. - System manual for the write-back loop: docs/reference/review-pass.md (augi_tags, routing, capture grammar, views).
- Vault-side entry (the user's daily driver):
View - Dashboard.mdunder<vault>/OpenAugi/Views/— regenerated every review pass, links everything. Two verbs: "run the review pass" (full loop) · "process the dashboard" (execute nomination answers only).
Where things live
This repo is public. The user's vault is not. Before committing any doc, ask: does this contain actual content from the vault, or just describe the system that operates on it?
Fine to commit: category/taxonomy names, tag names, schema fields,
config shapes — the system-level vocabulary (e.g. "an area/health
container exists," "clustering produces life-area buckets").
Never commit: real note titles or content, real routing/nomination
decisions, actual cluster contents or counts, personal reflections, post
drafts, session handoffs that quote real vault data — i.e. anything that
is output from the second brain rather than a description of it. If a
doc is reporting what specifically got routed/clustered/decided on the user's
real data, it belongs in docs/scratch/ (gitignored), not tracked.
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.

openaugi AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository bitsofchris/openaugi (141 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 3,418 tokens to every session, about $0.0137 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 2026-08-30.
