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 | $0.03626 | $0.03626 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01450 | $0.01450 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00725 | $0.00725 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00363 | $0.00363 |
Grade A, and why
basilic 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 11d 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 — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Repository agent instructions
This repository has one shared agent contract: this file plus .agents/skills/ (lock-installed stack skills and Basilic /w-* playbooks). Cursor slash, glob .mdc attach, and .cursor/mcp.json are adapters. Other harnesses load the same contract through this file and open SKILL.md when there is no / menu. Do not create a second workflow or a competing source of truth.
These instructions apply to the whole monorepo. A nested AGENTS.md adds or overrides guidance for its subtree and must be read before changing files there.
Start here
- Always-on constraints are this file. Do not chase
.cursor/rulesfor the global contract. - When editing files that match a glob in File-scoped rules, read that
.cursor/rulesfile (Cursor auto-attaches it). - Read
.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.mdwhen the user invokes a skill or the task matches (afterpnpm setup/pnpm skills:install, which restores catalogs fromskills-lock.json). Daily path: Basilic/w-*under.agents/skills/workflow/w-<name>/(/w-plan,/w-grill,/w-wayfinder,/w-build,/w-ship). If the harness has no/menu, open theSKILL.mdfile. Catalog:blockmatic/basilic-skills. - Read the matching technical documentation under
apps/docu/content/docs/before changing an architecture, convention, command, or documented behavior. - Read the target app or package
README.mdandpackage.jsonbefore choosing setup, generation, validation, or test commands.

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.
