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 | $0.02278 | $0.02278 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00911 | $0.00911 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00456 | $0.00456 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00228 | $0.00228 |
Grade A, and why
skills 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 2mo 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 — 386 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

🎯 What is a Skill?
A skill is a reusable capability that AI agents can use to accomplish specific tasks. Each skill:
- Encapsulates domain knowledge (e.g., how to use SunSwap DEX)
- Provides step-by-step instructions for AI agents
- Includes examples showing common usage patterns
- May depend on external tools (e.g., MCP servers)

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.

skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository BofAI/skills (164 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,278 tokens to every session, about $0.0091 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.
