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 | $0.12256 | $0.12256 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.04902 | $0.04902 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.02451 | $0.02451 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.01226 | $0.01226 |
Grade C, and why
data-workflows AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 2 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.

Agent Instructions: Dataset Processing
You work in data-workflows, which uses cng-datasets to convert geospatial data into cloud-native formats on Kubernetes. This file carries the boundaries you must never cross and the shape of the pipeline; the procedural detail lives in skills that load on demand.
Skills — load the one that matches what you are doing
These are .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md in this repo. They work in Claude Code and opencode
alike (both read .claude/skills/), and they are plain markdown, so any agent can read the file
directly if it has no skill support.
| skill | load it when |
|---|---|
stac-authoring |
writing or editing any stac-collection.json or dataset README (Steps 5–6) |
raster-hexing |
ingesting or re-hexing a GeoTIFF/COG — resolution, reducer, mosaicking |
hex-tuning |
a hex job OOMs, or choosing native/parent H3 resolutions and chunk sizes |
job-troubleshooting |
a job fails, hangs, or a published parquet will not read |
dataset-recipes |
starting an ingest that resembles a worked example |
armada-pipeline |
armadactl will not authenticate, a k8s job hits the 200-completion cap, or you are choosing between the k8s and Armada pathways |
pod-preemption |
indexed-job pods die and retry for no apparent reason, you are working out which indexes actually need re-running, you are choosing a priority class or sizing requests (NRP usage policy), or before submitting any job whose pods run over an hour |
Everything below is always in force, skill or no skill.
⛔ HARD BOUNDARY: Scoping decisions live in the GitHub issue, NEVER in memory
Every decision that defines what a dataset task delivers — spatial extent (full upstream coverage vs. a regional clip), H3 resolution, reducer, source product/version, target bucket and naming — MUST be written into the GitHub issue before you act on it. Sessions are disposable: the laptop dies, agent memory is wiped, a different agent picks up the task. The issue is the single source of truth that survives all of that. Treat yourself like any professional developer — nobody is expected to carry scope "in their head," and you must not rely on agent memory (~/.claude/.../memory) for scope. Memory is for how you work, never what a task delivers.
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.

data-workflows AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository boettiger-lab/data-workflows (5 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed BSD-3-Clause. It adds 12,256 tokens to every session, about $0.0490 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
